  • Developed and deployed ML-based matching and ranking services (all-MiniLM-L12-v2 embeddings, cosine similarity, GPT-4) on cloud infrastructure, aligning donor interests with Duke initiatives and identifying $10M+ in funding opportunities.
  • Built an AI-powered chatbot and accessible web platform (HTML/CSS/Jinja2, ARIA standards) with integrated REST APIs and automated testing, reducing manual research time for advancement staff and improving data-driven outreach efficiency.
