During my time at Otsuka I leveraged GenAI to solve two main projects. First, I created an end-to-end GenAI application for document validation. I used technologies like Pydantic, MongoDB, FastAPI, ChromaDB, and Ollama. I also finetuned an LLM to rate manager feedback. I employed Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) techniques like LoRA and QLoRA, to efficiently train the model on Otsuka personal data. Feedbacks were desensitized using a custom Named Entity Recognition model built with SpaCy before being fed into the model.

I researched how LLMs can be used to evolve code in the context of solving mathematical problems. A lot of mathematical problems are defined by concrete characteristics, but finding a solution that fits these characteristics can be challenging. My group and I used LLMs to improve functions to solve the Trifference Problem for large values (n > 9). Although we were unable to get results for n > 9, we saw a dramatic speed improvement for some values n < 9 compared to the brute force method.

Relational note taking is human note taking. Tondova aims to represent data as relational nodes in a large graph of knowledge. We aim to bring the power of AI to truly companion the human mind in creation, synthesis, and storage of information.

I developed an automated bot that would execute online bookings for a client in milliseconds, outperforming all competing registrants. I deployed the application to the Google Cloud Platform and used Cloud Scheduler + Serverless Cloud Functions to run the application weekly.

As a director of development, I completely overhauled the intermediate python curriculum. I was also in charge of managing online zoom classes and interviewing new student tutors.

As the captain of my high school varsity volleyball team, I helped motivate my teammates and learned what it means to be an impactful leader. I realize that leadership is about understanding context and taking action based on common goals. It is also about remaining calm during stressful situations—something that I learned thoroughly as a captain.
