I'm building a new AI Assistant that serves as a new conversational UI for a global HR SaaS platform – and studying a lot about effective ways to fine-tune, evaluate, and improve RAG applications.

I was a teaching assistant, but I learned so much more:

• MBA 291S Storytelling for Leadership (Prof. Thomas Fitzpatrick) – I got to co-create a space for students to share deeply personal stories and craft them into moving speeches

• MBA 256 Global Leadership (Profs. Ernest Gundling & Whitney Hischier) – I got to learn from students from 26 different countries, about cultural awareness and inclusive leadership

• MBA 295T4 Online Marketplaces & Platform Design (Prof. David Holtz) – I got to learn everything about marketplaces from grading 400+ memos on every company on a16z Marketplace 100

• MBA XB296 Data Science Applications for Finance (Prof. Donatella Taurasi) – I got to combine my interests in finance and data science, grading decision trees for mortgages and logits for fraud detection

For my project in Global Logistics & Supply Chain, I got to study emerging tech applications of Automation, Robotics, IoT, AI/ML, and Marketplace PaaS. The deliverable focused on 4PL Marketplace Integration as the most immediate opportunity and outlined key feature requirements.
