Experience

Work

Summer 2026

Research Intern

University of Florida IoT4Ag Lab

  • Building an NLP interface on UF's HiPerGator supercomputer using vLLM + Ollama to parse plain-language farmer queries into structured DSSAT crop simulation inputs
  • Designed a LangGraph agent pipeline that classifies query intent (soil vs. cultivar), extracts phenological parameters, and auto-updates DSSAT input files
  • Engineered 20+ unit tests covering ambiguous crop stage descriptions, missing soil horizon data, conflicting location-phenology pairs, and malformed date inputs

Undergraduate Researcher

Georgia Institute of Technology advised by Diego Fratta

  • Developed training data pipelines for Georgia Tech's ECE 2035 course AI tutoring system, cleaning and reformatting historical exam datasets to fine-tune a computer architecture domain-specific LLM.
  • Created Python scripting to benchmark LLM performance across context retention, reasoning accuracy, and pedagogical alignment to identify the optimal model for guided, Socratic-style tutoring without direct answer leakage.

Spring 2025 - Fall 2025
