About me

I have some hands-on work experience and I am sharpening skills through real projects while looking for the right first full-time role.

I am a full-stack software engineer with over a year of experience building enterprise web applications for clients worldwide. I use React, Next.js, and Angular with TypeScript for the front end, and Node.js and NestJS for the back end, along with MySQL and Microsoft SQL Server databases that I designed. I have deployed AWS services like Lambda and S3, monitored through CloudWatch. I created WildAtlas, taking it from concept to launch, and I hold a Master of Data Science, where I built Python da

Pfizer Advanced: AI-Powered Document Insights & Data Extraction Externship

Prototype AI-powered document intelligence with Pfizer—using OCR, LLMs, and RAG to automate real enterprise PDF workflows and build a standout portfolio project.

AI & MLPythonDocument IntelligencePresentation Skills

Overview

The project developed a prototype pipeline combining OCR, large language models, and retrieval-augmented generation to extract structured data and surface document insights from enterprise PDFs. The work surveyed LLM capabilities, integrated OCR outputs with embedding-based retrieval, and produced example queries and extracted fields from sample documents.

Pfizer Advanced: AI-Powered Document Insights & Data Extraction Externship

What I've accomplished

I produced a written explanation of LLM internals, detailing tokenization, attention mechanisms, and how models generate the next token from context.

Project breakdown

I described LLM internals: how tokenization breaks text into tokens, how attention mechanisms build contextual understanding, and how the model generates the next token from that context.

During the externship I built and ran a Colab notebook that implemented Python fundamentals, cleaned tabular data with Pandas, parsed nested JSON into DataFrames, applied text standardization, and performed image preprocessing steps for improved OCR accuracy.
