Safety-First Multi-Agent Chest-Pain Triage: A Manchester-Aligned Architecture that Surfaces LLM Under-Triage — Accepted at INISTA 2026
Multi-agent LLM system for emergency-department chest-pain triage, evaluated against real clinical data. Built on the Manchester Triage Protocol with a safety-first escalation design combining RAG, local LLMs and ML risk models. Developed with clinical collaborators from ULSAAve.
📡 Machine Learning Intern — NOS · Jul 2026 – Sep 2026
- Built an end-to-end data pipeline on BigQuery processing ~125M daily records to detect and rank mobile-network quality hotspots at national scale
- Designed a two-level geospatial clustering system, re-architecting it to run inside BigQuery for scale (per-site runtime cut by an order of magnitude)
- Developed a mobility-analysis module (community detection) and validated the model against 5,600+ customer-satisfaction survey responses
- Delivered results through interactive Power BI dashboards on live data, with end-to-end system documentation
