Machine Learning Intern @ Mila
May 2024 – Aug 2024
During this research / machine learning internship at Mila. I worked under Professor Bang Liu’s NLP Lab.
We were building a personal assistant for researchers. It would be designed to access your local files as well as popular foundational models. You can also tailor it for your research (like a custom GPT-ish). I was mainly in charge of researching efficient graph evaluation methods for our LLM-agents. So a lot of RAG, prompt-engineering, and tinkering with different huggingface APIs to optimize storage queries.
I also started the app development. We chose Tauri (a highkey better version of Electron). Wrote some code to route backend APIs (huggingface, WeaviateDB, ReactJS).
Software Developer Intern @ Ensemble AI
Jan 2024 – May 2024
Worked in a small team under a McGill StartUp Incubator called the Kernel. We built a AI-platforming tool for Real-Estate Agents.
Learned a lot on unit testing, building react components, and microservices like AWS (Textract, Elastic BeanStalk, EC2). I also learned Docker and Kubernetes for the first time.
At the end we, the Kernel Team partenered up with Ensemble, a Montreal-based Startup. Technology got acquired by Ensemble (still ongoing development).
