Applied AI Platform for Political Discourse Analysis
Oct 2025 - Current (1 year)
As an Applied AI Platform Engineer for Political Discourse Analysis, I designed, built, and deployed a production AI platform focused on semantic search and narrative analysis of extensive collections of official political documents. I implemented a retrieval-first RAG architecture utilizing embeddings, vector search, and grounded LLM responses sourced exclusively from verified primary documents. My role involved engineering ingestion, chunking, and vector indexing pipelines while navigating real constraints such as dimensional limits, index locking, and cost tradeoffs. I effectively addressed production challenges, including unstable data sources, database write/index contention, and ensuring the reliability of long-running data processing
