The LLM Revolution (Before It Was Cool!)
This was back when ChatGPT was just a whisper in tech circles, and I was already fine-tuning open-source Large Language Models! Using HuggingFace, LangChain, and FAISS, I built a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system that could provide contextual, factual information based on our organization’s data.
The Anti-Hallucination Crusade
One of my proudest achievements was significantly reducing LLM hallucinations - those moments when AI confidently states completely made-up facts. By implementing RAG through careful prompt engineering and vector databases, I created a system that stayed grounded in reality while still being creative and helpful.
Data-Driven Decisions
I spearheaded A/B testing strategies using Python, Flask, FastAPI, and Tableau to optimize everything. We increased operational efficiency by approximately 50%.
The Tech Stack Adventures
Working with JIRA and SQL for project management and data analysis while building REST API endpoints on AWS was like conducting a tech orchestra. Each tool had its part to play in creating a symphony of efficiency and innovation..
