Work Experience


Prosus Group Amsterdam, Netherlands

Machine Learning Engineer Sep 2023 --- Now

  • Engineered automated, no-code training and evaluation pipelines for large language models (LLMs), transitiong the team to fully open-source frameworks from proprietary cloud dependencies.
  • This initiative has faciliated day-one training and evaluation of newly released LLMs, significantly enhacing operational efficiency.
  • Led the fine-tuning and deployment of a model for data extraction, achieving over 98% reduction in operational expenses from $60,000 to under $1,000 monthly, while delivering superior performance compared to existing proprietary closed-source models.
  • Technologies: Large Language Models, Python (PyTorch, HF Transformers), Docker, AWS.

Microsoft Amsterdam, Netherlands

Cloud Solutions Architect Intern Sep 2022 --- Mar 2023

  • Developed a fraud-detection system that detected anomalies of up to 10M USD in Azure consumption for clients across Western Europe.
  • Integrated image segmentation model into a knowledge mining system to extract, name, and index chemical structure images, eliminating search time for un-indexable research documents for a top-15 bioscience company in the Netherlands.
  • Designed and trained a robotic arm simulation using the MuJoCo Engine and Microsoft Project Bonsai to handle soft bodies with precision.
  • Technologies: Python, Azure, SQL, Computer Vision, Reinforcement Learning

Amazon Luxembourg, Luxembourg

Software Engineer Intern May 2022 --- Sep 2022

  • Integrated internal build system to automate repository creation and user authorization, resulting in a one-click solution that will save approximately 800 SWE hours annually and enable mass adoption of our framework by 200+ internal teams.
  • Created a script to automate the generation of config-files for stress-testing, reducing deployment times of tests by approximately 75%.
  • Developed a customer chat-bot using Amazon Kendra & Lex to query internal wikis, allowing instantaneous customer response time for FAQs about our framework.
  • Technologies: Java (backend), Python, AWS, Natural Language Processing

Projects


RL Laser-Tag Environment

  • Modelled a reinforcement learning (RL) environment in Unity to mimic a game of laser-tag.
  • Utilised the ML-Agents framework and the stabe-baselines3 PPO implementation to train the agents.

Reproducing Reinforcement Learning Papers

  • Implemented fundamental reinforcement learning algorithms from scratch like DQN, PPO, and SAC using PyTorch.
  • Matched the performance of standard libraries like CleanRL & StableBaselines3 on the MuJoCo Benchmark.

Awards


  • Winner (3/2000+) of Andrew Ng's Data-Centric AI competition. Presented solution at the NeurIPS Datasets & Benchmark track. 2021
  • Academic Excellence Award by the Dutch Society of Sciences (KHMW) for rank 1/350 at TU/e. 2021
