AWS AI Platforms: Scalable ML Infrastructure and Production Systems
Built production ML systems infrastructure for SageMaker Training Plans, focused on reserved-capacity procurement, allocation, and validation for training and inference workloads.
- Reduced deployment/configuration turnaround from 6-10 days to 1-2 days
- Reduced customer friction by ~96% through data-driven reserved-capacity limit redesign
- Contributed to inference-related Training Plans workflows for reserved GPU/accelerator capacity
View full project HEDWIG: Learning Geospatial Embeddings for Large-Scale Retrieval
Built a ViCLIP-based geolocation system that learns richer geospatial embeddings from multi-frame panoramic imagery and captions.
- Reduced median top-1 prediction error by over 1,600 km vs. CLIP baseline
- Increased predictions within 750 km by nearly 4x
- Improved top-1 retrieval quality across distance thresholds
View full project Multimodal Medical Image Classification using CLIP and ResNet
Compared multimodal and image-only approaches for diabetic retinopathy, including interpretability and embedding analyses.
- ResNet-50 reached 92.52% classification accuracy
- Two-stage CLIP pipeline reached 89.31% accuracy
- Used Grad-CAM and t-SNE for model behavior analysis
