Kaggle Competitions Master (top 300 out of 200,000)

Certificate in Advanced English (C1)

– Applied Hydra bidirectional and Mamba/Mamba2 architectures to the problem of sequential recommendation, outperforming SOTA models in latency & NDCG
– Managed model fine-tuning on an A100 GPU cluster, utilizing complex custom-developed schedulers and adaptive batching techniques
– Evaluated model robustness and scalability across large-scale industry-standard datasets (Amazon Reviews, etc.)

Machine Learning Research Intern

– Managed sensor data transmission and processing for industrial pipeline monitoring systems
– Integrated legacy C++ audio processing modules with a Python-based backend, developing efficient wrappers to maintain high-performance signal analysis within a modern software stack
– Developed a leak detection system, implementing graph-based algorithms to accurately localize and predict pipeline failures

Software Engineering Intern

– Co-developed AdLoCo, a novel distributed optimization framework that significantly improves communication efficiency and convergence for LLMs
– Optimized distributed training on a cluster of multiple A100 GPUs
– Benchmarked performance of LLMs on the C4 corpus, achieving faster time-to-target perplexity compared to industry-standard baselines like DiLoCo and LocalSGD
– Contributed to the mathematical proof of communication complexity bounds for non-convex stochastic optimization
– Open-sourced the implementation in PyTorch, providing a foundation for scalable, resource-constrained model training
