  • B
    Data Scientist
    Blue Horse Digital
    Sep 2025 - Current (11 months)
    • Designed and evaluated a document processing and retrieval system using Azure OpenAl and Azure Al Search, defining evaluation metrics and optimizing chunking and retrieval strategies to improve contextual relevance while reducing latency by 70%. • Developed and optimized semantic chunking and retrieval strategies, reducing LLM token usage by 35% (~$2.4K/month) while preserving contextual relevance across large document sets. • Built and validated a hybrid retrieval system (vector embeddings and semantic ranking), achieving 91% precision through iterative tuning of chunking and retrieval parameters. • Conducted performance analysis of end-to-end pipelines, implementing reliability mechanisms (async processing, retries, monitoring) to maint
