Neel is currently developing Curate, a full\-stack social media application for artists, and has experience with JavaScript, multiple databases, cross\-system data synchronization, and LangGraph for AI agents and workflows\. Neel is strongest at independently owning complex projects from start to finish, particularly where data infrastructure and AI systems intersect\. During an AI engineering internship at Verizon, Neel built an agent that found that 56% of model calls were incorrect, helping drive a shift toward dynamic routing\. Neel also solved a complex integration challenge involving three databases\. Earlier work includes software quality engineering for Sober Peer, an AI\-supported mobile health social platform for substance\-abuse victims AI research with Inspirit AI and STEM instruction for children at iCode School Franchise\. Neel is motivated by frontier work, innovative solutions, and setting new precedents, and is open to remote, hybrid, and in\-person work arrangements\. ## Highlights - Built an agent during an AI engineering internship at Verizon that found 56% of model calls were incorrect, helping drive a shift to dynamic routing\. - Solved a complex data\-integration challenge spanning three databases and has experience synchronizing data across systems\. - Currently building Curate, a full\-stack social media application for artists\. - Contributed to the creation and execution of software quality engineering plans at Sober Peer while working on a 10\-person team\. - Helped build Sober Peer's mobile health social platform, which connects substance\-abuse victims with provider forums and uses continuous real\-time behavioral data and AI to predict and prescribe evidence\-based patient solutions\. - Taught STEM to children ages 5–12 at iCode School Franchise through summer camps and weekly classes, covering topics from Scratch to AI\. - Collaborated with 20 peers under AI professionals from Stanford and MIT at Inspirit AI\. - Completed Python\-based Inspirit AI projects on generative AI, ChatGPT, machine learning, and self\-driving cars\. - Researched large language models at Inspirit AI, focusing on data analysis, pattern recognition, and reinforcement learning\. - Presented AI research findings, insights, and technical applications to a wide audience\. - Has full\-stack development experience, including JavaScript, and uses LangGraph to build AI agents and workflows\. ## Experience - **Software Quality Engineer at Sober Peer** (2022\-07\-01–2023\-07\-01) — I worked in a team of ten to create a mobile health social platform that helps substance abuse victims to join forums with providers and through continuous real time behavioral data and artificial intelligence, predict & prescribe evidence\-based patient solutions\.
