Software engineer · AI agent reliability & applied ML · CS new grad, Dec 2026

Summary

Software engineer, CS new grad (December 2026). AI agent reliability and applied ML, benchmark-backed open source. At T-Infosystem I built the Bedrock summarization layer with a validation guard behind an automated maintenance-reporting platform covering 400+ client sites. At UNC Charlotte's CharmLab I'm co-authoring a manuscript on LLM-judge failure modes, targeting a NeurIPS 2026 workshop. Open source: Reflight (a flight recorder for AI agents), ChainCheck (claim-level hallucination detection at 94% precision, shipping on PyPI), CostDNA (GraphSAGE for untagged AWS spend), Bourse (Rust matching engine, zero-alloc hot path). Open to SWE / ML infrastructure / systems roles.

Experience

  • Charlotte Machine Learning Lab (CharmLab)Undergraduate ML Researcher

    May 2026Present

    UNC Charlotte · advised by Prof. Minwoo Lee

    • Drafting a manuscript on LLM-judge failure modes. Judge misses on HaluEval-QA are high-confidence, invisible to NLI/judge disagreement (AUC 0.48), and concentrate on hallucinations built from the reference passage itself (49% missed vs 31%, p<0.01).
    • Built a fully reproducible analysis pipeline — all 99 manuscript statistics verified against committed artifacts. Targeting a NeurIPS 2026 workshop submission.
  • T-InfosystemSoftware Engineering Intern

    Mar 2026Jun 2026

    Remote

    • Built uptime, response-time, SSL-expiry, and incident-detection services for an automated maintenance-reporting platform covering 400+ client sites. AWS Lambda, SQS, EventBridge, DynamoDB, SES.
    • Developed the Amazon Bedrock summarization layer that generates monthly client reports. Added a validation guard that rejects unsupported figures and falls back to deterministic templates when validation fails.
    • Created a 40-case evaluation suite for summary accuracy and factual grounding. Pass rate rose from 64% to 87% through prompt and validation improvements.

Selected projects

  • ReflightA flight recorder for AI agents.

    2026

    Records every model call, tool call, token, and dollar an agent spends. Three lines of code to instrument. Replays are byte-for-byte identical to the live run, verified with the network hard-blocked, and finish in about 7 ms at $0.00. On a scheduling agent, a 15-line replay assertion caught 15 out of 15 failures that passed every tool-level check. An LLM judge caught 1 to 5 of them, depending on how the prompt was worded. One command turns a failed run into a pytest regression test.

  • ChainCheckClaim-level hallucination detection for LLMs.

    2026

    Flags the exact unsupported sentence instead of scoring the whole response. 94% precision at 64% recall on HaluEval-QA (n=500, gpt-4o-mini judge, balanced 50/50), chosen after benchmarking four detection methods head-to-head. A 60 ms local NLI pre-filter cuts latency 19× on the clear-cut cases and only escalates ambiguous claims to the judge. Ships on PyPI as a drop-in OpenAI proxy that tags risky responses in headers. A GitHub Action wraps the same core and blocks merges when a PR description doesn't match the diff.

  • CostDNABehavioral attribution for untagged cloud spend.

    2026

    On a typical AWS account, 40 to 60 percent of spend is untagged and invisible to FinOps tools. CostDNA infers ownership per resource with a GraphSAGE GNN trained on CloudTrail behavior, IAM patterns, and VPC topology, then writes the tags back. Existing tools go from explaining half the bill to about 95%. End to end from raw cost report to per-team breakdown in 90 seconds, no data leaves the AWS account. I also caught label leakage in two published benchmarks (Azure 2.6M VMs, Philly 117K jobs) by auditing my own results — the honest number is published next to the inflated first-cut one.

  • BourseOrder matching engine in Rust.

    2026

    Price-time-priority matching engine over a length-prefixed binary TCP protocol. Zero allocations on the hot path, proven by a custom allocator harness. Cache-padded lock-free MPSC gateway feeds a single-writer matcher, with Acquire/Release ordering and Miri validation in CI. Byte-exact WAL replay plus snapshot recovery; group commit is 187–245× faster than fsync-per-record. Current benches on M-series release: in-process round-trip ~225 ns, TCP RTT p50 ~78 µs / p99 ~307 µs, matcher walks 1000 levels in ~94 µs.

  • NetPulseBGP anomaly and route-leak detector.

    2026

    Public reproducible benchmark on RIPE RIS archive data: 7 out of 7 labeled historical incidents detected, 0 false negatives, runs in about a second, no API keys. The live monitor taps the RIPE RIS global feed (~1,800 updates/sec); in a 70-second sample it ingested 149,246 announcements. RPKI validation runs at ~43 µs per call against 859k VRPs — a longest-prefix-match trie replaced a linear scan and moved a 43 ms operation to 43 µs. Hosted HTTP API deploys to any Docker host.

  • DispatchAn AI-curated morning brief for developers.

    2026

    A daily brief in the shape of a newspaper — ink on cream, gold accents, double-ruled masthead, issue numbering. Role-first onboarding streams the first headline over Server-Sent Events in about 800 ms. Solo-built end to end: React + Vite frontend, Express + Postgres (Neon) server, gpt-4o-mini generation, Resend for delivery, Sentry and PostHog for observability, Expo for the mobile shell. 41 passing tests, Lighthouse Best Practices 100, zero accessibility violations in the audit.

  • RasoiBotA pantry-aware recipe assistant for Indian cooking.

    2025

    The smallest thing on this page. I cook a lot of Indian food and kept rewriting the same paneer recipe from memory. RasoiBot is that recipe, but with serving-size scaling and a grocery list. Pantry-aware set-intersection over a hand-curated index — the streaming feel is a UX trick, not a model.
