Data Scientist at New Jersey Institute of Technology
Complete project end to end
AI Engineer at New Jersey Institute of Technology's Brain Imaging Lab, where I develop neuroimaging pipelines and achieved 89% accuracy on fMRI classification. Completed my MS in Data Science from NJIT in Dec 2023. I operate under a maker philosophy: if something doesn't exist that you need, build it yourself. Recent work includes Poltergeist (stealth multi-agent orchestrator with agent-to-agent interactions), CareerForge (AI-powered job application automation system orchestrating agents across 15+ ATS platforms with multi-model consensus), and PrometheusAI (5-agent research system with 21x relevance improvement for the 2-day You.com hackathon). I leverage AI-assisted development with Claude, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot to compress development cycles from weeks to days!
Conversational AI architectures and voice-based agent systems -- especially real-time multi-agent coordination and consensus mechanisms. Exploring how AI agents can debate, collaborate, and reach better decisions collectively than individually. Interested in pushing the boundaries of what's possible with ElevenLabs' voice tech combined with sophisticated orchestration layers. Currently researching creation of digital twins for CareerForge to conduct mock interviews.... Ask me more about it!
PrometheusAI - 5-agent research system where specialized agents debate and reach consensus. Achieved 21x relevance improvement for You.com hackathon. Poltergeist - Multi-agent orchestrator with agent-to-agent interactions. Dynamically spawns specialized agents based on task complexity, achieving 10-30x performance improvements. CareerForge - AI job application automation across 15+ ATS platforms. Orchestrates agents for planning, auto-generates tailored single-page resumes and cover letters.
