Phenom People — AI / LLM Engineer
Architecting an enterprise conversational AI: a 12-node LangGraph pipeline with discrete owners for Concierge, Intent Classifier, Dialogue Manager, NLG, CTC, and seven more. QLoRA fine-tuned Qwen3.5-2B on 4,569 production records, deployed to vLLM on AWS EC2 g5.xlarge.
Built the eval framework end-to-end — pass@k, GPT-4.1-mini judge rubrics across all 12 nodes — and lifted intent accuracy from 87% to 97% by replacing a generic intent model with a multi-task fine-tuned ModernBERT (intent + NER, joint heads).
Production debugging — three I'm proud of
-
// parallel tool calls in agent loop
spurious parameter generation when nodes ran concurrent tool calls — isolated invocation context per branch, fixed. -
// JSON schema
$refrecursive loops crashing the pipeline on certain payloads — flattened schemas at boundary, fixed. -
// vLLM + Qwen Mamba+attention hybrid
undocumented at the time: required merged weights and--enforce-eageron vLLM — found it, fixed it, deployed.
