Projects

Local RAG Chatbot

Built an offline retrieval-augmented-generation pipeline optimized for latency-sensitive environments. Selected HNSW approximate nearest-neighbour indexing over brute-force search, reducing retrieval time to under 50 ms at scale while keeping memory footprint low. Containerised components with Redis caching for O(1) repeated-query lookups; designed for secure, offline operation with no external API dependencies.

Version Set Manager

Developed a scalable academic submission platform with role-based access control, background job processing for large-file uploads, and JWT-based authentication. Selected MongoDB's document model over relational schemas to support flexible versioned submission records, and architected a container-friendly, horizontally scalable system for high-throughput use cases.
