    Patterns in Illinois Traffic Stops

    Collaborated on an interactive dashboard comparing eight Illinois agencies across stop volume, search rates, race- based search rates, average stop duration, and time trends. Implemented multi-agency selection and linked highlighting across four coordinated views, enabling users to explore agency comparisons through metric toggles, tooltips, and selected-agency summaries.

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.

Overview

The project developed a prototype AI pipeline that combined OCR, LLM processing, and retrieval-augmented generation to extract and interpret information from enterprise PDFs. The work mapped model capabilities and integration steps, and documented research findings about how LLMs process and generate responses from extracted text.

What I've accomplished

I produced a concise technical summary explaining LLM training on large text corpora, the Transformer attention mechanism, and how models are fine-tuned with human feedback for improved generations.

Project breakdown

I summarized LLMs by describing their training on large text corpora, the Transformer mechanism that assigns attention across sequences, and how models are fine-tuned with human feedback to improve generations.
