MR Group

AI Lead · 2025–26

Led a team of 4 ML engineers and managed a 3-person delivery squad for the Construction AI project. Owned solution architecture, delivery, evaluation methodology, code review, and stakeholder communication across production AI projects.

Selected systems:

  • Construction AI — an on-prem document-intelligence platform processing 2,000+ checklist items across 30+ PDFs within a 65 GB VRAM constraint. A separate validation gate achieved ~99.9% accuracy on the high-confidence tier and reduced raw manual workload by ~6×. Case →
  • AI Code Reviewer — designed and launched in 3 weeks. During its first month, the system completed 578 reviews, identified 44 confirmed critical defects, and produced 600+ confirmed findings. Case →
  • AI Meeting Assistant — transcription, diarization, speaker identification, structured summaries, task export, and Q&A over meeting history.

Side activity

Consulting & mentoring

Eval system audit

AI consulting · 2025

Moved an LLM evaluation system to the Batch API (−50% cost) and removed nondeterminism: answer variance from 60% down to ~6% on an expert golden set.

GPU infrastructure sizing

AI consulting · 2026

Sized a GPU node for speech analytics (50k minutes / 30k calls a day): a node 30% cheaper, with headroom to scale to 100k minutes.

Agentic-coding mentorship

ongoing

I teach senior developers to work effectively with agents. Trained 7 so far; two brought the approach into their own teams.
