## Current role

AI-ML Engineer at Propheus (Jul 2025–present). Drives the technical direction of Retail Agent, an agentic system giving retailers a 30-day forward view of nearby events, competitor promotions and weather. Pipeline: Serper + events/weather API integrations capture signals; OpenAI and Gemini agents with custom LlamaIndex tools and ChromaDB-backed retrieval classify store-relevant signals; a deterministic (non-LLM) model computes exact USD revenue impact. Result: average +8% per-store revenue lift for a leading US retail brand; counter-promotions offset 20–40% day-to-day revenue swings.
