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

Framework: Sensor Noise -> Anomaly Signal -> Monitoring Decision

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

Framework: Natural Language -> Structured Query -> Usable Answer

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

Framework: Historical Noise -> Pattern Signal -> Decision Support

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

Framework: Input Chaos -> Structured Workflow -> Output

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

Framework: Sensitive Operations -> Structured Access -> Internal Workflow

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.
