I am a Rail Operations and Applied AI/ML Engineer with 10+ years of combined experience across industrial engineering, rail operations, and machine learning systems. My work spans the full ML lifecycle — from peer-reviewed research to production deployment — with a focus on industrial optimization, predictive analytics, and condition monitoring for transportation and manufacturing systems.

Currently a PIN Fellow at Georgia Tech (Georgia-AIM grant), I develop AI-driven manufacturing optimization pipelines. Previously at Norfolk Southern Corporation, I built GIS-enabled analytics dashboards adopted company-wide. I hold an MSc in Applied Engineering from Georgia Southern University and have been admitted to Georgia Tech's OMSCS (MS in Computer Science) starting Fall 2026.

llm-finetuning-engineering-domain

Two complementary fine-tuning pipelines on railroad AI and manufacturing domain data. BERT/RoBERTa classification: fine-tuned bert-base-uncased → 94.2% accuracy; roberta-base → 95.8% on 4-class DAS signal conditions. LoRA generation: Mistral-7B instruction-tuned with only 4.2M trainable params (0.06% of model) using QLoRA 4-bit quantization — ROUGE-L 0.68. Both models published on HuggingFace Hub →
