  June.2025-Aug.2025
  
  Saint Mary's University, NS
  
  JD:
  1. Advised Dr. Somayeh Kafaie on the research project: Optimizing Healthcare Delivery: Advanced Computational Methods for Safe Medication Practices in Nova Scotia’s Aging Population through weekly online and in-person presentations of research reports.
  2. Managed and organized academic resources using Zotero as the primary file management system.
  3. Reproduced LLM-based Text2Cypher demos locally by integrating the DeepSeek API with OpenAI, LangChain, LangGraph, and Neo4j (Python libraries), and by analyzing official documentation.
  4. Constructed graph databases with configuration management by pre-processing, modelling data in Excel, importing via Neo4j Data Importer and Cypher in Neo4j Desktop.
  5. Deployed graph databases on an enterprise-level Linux server using Docker with Linux and Docker command-line tools.
  6. Analyzed and synthesized academic documents to extract key findings and deliver strategic insights to supervisor.
  7. Developed RAG solution using Parent Document Retriever from Langchain, Milvus as vector database, bs4 to extract information from websites.
  8. Designed and implemented agentic workflow with LangGraph to generate optimized Cypher query.
  9. Fine-tuned a decoder-only LLM on a high-performance computing (HPC) cluster provided by the Digital Research Alliance of Canada, accessed via SSH. Utilized Linux command lines, bash scripts, and uv package management on a cleaned dataset sourced from HuggingFace, with training conducted using the TRL and Transformers libraries.
