Work Experience
Graduate Research Assistant / Florida International University
October 2025 - Current
I’m currently leading a project focused on developing an explainable, multimodal Hypercube-RAG framework for compound flood alerting. My role involves designing and implementing data ingestion pipelines, integrating diverse hydrometeorological datasets (including satellite precipitation, radar rainfall, and tide gauge measurements), and aligning them within a shared spatiotemporal hypercube architecture. I conduct exploratory data analysis, architect retrieval configurations, and evaluate system performance on a custom Compound Flooding QA benchmark to enhance semantic grounding and real-world relevance. I presented my findings to the i-Guide team (https://i-guide.io/), highlighting how multimodal grounding dramatically improves retrieval quality and supports future real-time, explainable alerting capabilities. This work combines applied machine learning, geoscience data fusion, and scalable retrieval systems to advance early warning solutions for compound flooding risk.
Academic Tutor / On Point Tutoring
November 2023 - Current
As an experienced tutor and instructor, I developed a strong ability to break down complex quantitative concepts into understandable components. I excel at creating personalized learning plans tailored to each student's needs, promoting comprehension of advanced mathematical, statistical, and programming principles. Through hands-on tutoring across disciplines like calculus, regression modeling, machine learning, and coding, I guide students in building analytical skills and technical proficiencies required for data science and quantitative fields. I conducted training seminars focused on developing effective teaching methodologies, imparting knowledge clearly and impactfully. My instructional expertise positions me to thrive in roles demanding ability to interpret and communicate intricate data principles to technical and non-technical audiences.
Medical Transcriptionist / Quest Diagnostics
October 2022 - May 2023
I adeptly transcribed and documented dermatology pathology reports using Quest's proprietary software, ensuring accuracy and thoroughness. My expertise encompasses comprehensive understanding of medical terminology, diagnostic procedures, and dermatological conditions. I efficiently converted audio dictations into clear, concise written reports, leveraging proficiency to deliver high-quality documentation consistently.
