Designing and implementing a Bayesian optimization pipeline to reorder training corpora (Google News, CHILDES, curated books) for Word2Vec models, aiming to improve alignment with human-like semantic understanding. Evaluating model performance using SimLex-999, MEN benchmarks, and custom metrics for representation drift (cosine distance tracking across epochs). Comparing standard training, Age-of-Acquisition (AoA)-based ordering, reverse-AoA, and BO-optimized curricula to identify developmental patterns that reduce semantic instability.

• Built a natural language-to-JSON compiler powering a workflow builder (Rete.js + React/Vite), enabling

non-technical users to automate internal tools (batch email, AI, ETL)

• Built backend API + MySQL database with dynamic configuration and real-time user sync

• Designed a document ingestion pipeline (Azure OCR + GPT-4) to extract structured data from contracts w/ GPT field inference logic

ArthicAid is a product made to help those with arthritis open pill bottles. I worked as the lead project manager to model a lever tool that clamps the lid of the bottle and allows her to easily twist open the cap.
