Applied AI Systems
Projects
Selected work across machine learning, NLP, and AI-assisted decision support. Each project shows how I structure messy inputs into something more usable.
Real-time Anomaly Detection for Industrial Data
Problem
Industrial sensors produce massive amounts of high-velocity time-series data. Traditional threshold-based monitoring fails to detect subtle, compounding failure states early enough to prevent downtime.
Approach
Instead of relying only on rigid rules, I approached this as a prototype for continuous analysis. The goal was to establish a moving baseline for normal behavior and flag deviations earlier than static thresholding.
System Design
- ▶Input: Raw industrial sensor metrics from simulated or streaming sources.
- ▶Processing: Preprocessing, sliding-window analysis, and anomaly scoring against changing baselines.
- ▶Output: Severity-based anomaly alerts for monitoring workflows.
Engineering Impact
- Structured preprocessing, scoring, and alerting into separate pipeline stages.
- Compared adaptive baseline logic against static-threshold monitoring.
- Designed outputs to support reviewable, severity-based monitoring decisions.
- Kept the prototype modular enough to refine individual steps independently.
Outcome
Built a system prototype that could detect irregular machine behavior earlier than static thresholding.
QueryWhiz - Natural Language to Structured Data Exploration
Problem
Teams often have valuable structured data but still rely on manual query writing or analyst support to answer straightforward business questions.
Approach
I approached this as both an NLP and workflow problem. The goal was to turn plain-language questions into structured data exploration while keeping the request understandable, debuggable, and usable for non-technical users.
System Design
- ▶Input: Natural language questions, table context, and structured datasets.
- ▶Processing: Intent extraction, schema-aware query construction, and output formatting.
- ▶Output: Structured queries and readable result views for downstream analysis.
Engineering Impact
- Separated intent understanding, query generation, and output formatting into distinct steps.
- Made structured data access more usable for non-technical users.
- Kept request structure explicit for easier debugging and iteration.
- Designed outputs to be reviewed and refined rather than treated as a black box.
Outcome
Built a query workflow concept that made structured data exploration more accessible to non-technical users.
Finance Copilot - AI-Driven Analysis System
Problem
Financial analysts spend excessive time aggregating disparate market data and extracting insights from unstructured reports to make investment decisions.
Approach
The goal was decision support, not replacement. I explored how fragmented financial data could be structured into clearer signals, iterative forecasts, and usable summaries.
System Design
- ▶Input: Historical market data, live signals, and structured financial sources.
- ▶Processing: Pattern analysis across time-series data with iterative refinement.
- ▶Output: Dashboard-style insights, forecasts, and structured decision support.
Engineering Impact
- Organized fragmented inputs into repeatable processing and summary steps.
- Focused on readable, review-friendly outputs rather than opaque predictions.
- Explored iterative analysis across multiple time horizons.
- Framed the system as decision support that could be extended and improved over time.
Outcome
Built a concept for turning fragmented financial data into clearer trend analysis.
Additional Workflow Experiments
Smaller experiments around AI-assisted workflow automation, summarization, and reducing repetitive manual work.
MoM (Meeting Operations Master)
A workflow concept that turns technical discussions into structured summaries, action items, and outputs designed for downstream task creation.
Private Operations Workflow Platform
Overview
Designed a private workflow system for sensitive operational use cases, with emphasis on controlled access, traceability, and structured internal processes.
Focus
- ▶Controlled access across sensitive internal workflows.
- ▶Traceability around how information moved through the system.
- ▶Structured processes that reduced ambiguity in day-to-day operations.
Selected Client and Independent Projects
Worked with founders and clients on MVP-style systems, workflow tools, and AI-assisted product concepts. The work usually involved turning ambiguous business needs into structured product flows, usable prototypes, and clearer technical decisions.
