PROJECT / TELECOM AI

AI-Native Link Adaptation

Production AI system for real-time 5G link adaptation, deployed under sub-30µs baseband constraints.

Constraint

sub-30µs baseband inference

System

Distributed RL + Distillation

Impact

+20% throughput +10% spectral efficiency Tier‑1 operator deployment

What I built

Compact inference-ready policies, training pipelines, and evaluation workflows for deployment-oriented RAN optimization.

Why it mattered

Moved AI-native link adaptation from research prototype to operator-deployed RAN optimization, improving throughput and spectral efficiency under live network constraints.

My role

Architected the research-to-production ML workflow, model refinement path, and production-facing experimentation approach.

PROJECT / RL SYSTEMS

High-Throughput Distributed RL Training System

Scalable reinforcement learning platform for large-scale experience generation and policy optimization.

Constraint

100+ actors

System

Distributed CPU/GPU pipeline

Impact

20× faster training

What I built

A high-throughput distributed RL architecture with replay systems, RPC coordination, and HPC-aware orchestration.

Why it mattered

Enabled reproducible large-scale experimentation and drastically shortened the path from idea to measurable results.

My role

Designed the overall architecture, training workflow, and systems-level optimization strategy.

PROJECT / AGENTIC AI

Agentic AI for Autonomous Networks

Intent-driven agentic AI system that translates high-level network intents into optimization templates, preferences, and closed-loop control actions.

Constraint

Conflicting network intents

System

Interpreter + optimizer + multi-objective RL controller

Impact

Intent-to-action automation Pareto-aware control

What I built

Designed an agentic AI workflow that connects language-model intent interpretation, optimization-based preference derivation, and preference-conditioned multi-objective RL control.

Why it mattered

Moved autonomous network operations beyond heuristic intent handling by enabling networks to interpret, reason over, adapt to, and act on diverse service intents and network conditions.

My role

Co-designed the intent-to-action architecture, including agent responsibilities, optimization flow, feedback refinement, and the connection between preferences and autonomous control.

PROJECT / AGENTIC COMMERCE

Agentic Product Recommendation System

Conversational product discovery system combining multi-agent LLM workflows with hybrid retrieval.

Constraint

Grounded product attributes

System

RAG + structured validation

Impact

Zero hallucinated attributes

What I built

A multi-agent recommendation workflow with retrieval-augmented product discovery and structured validation.

Why it mattered

Improved reliability of conversational product discovery by grounding recommendations in verified product attributes.

My role

Designed the agent workflow, retrieval layer, validation logic, and API interface.
