Vertical AI Solutions
Created an automated dataset preparation and fine-tuning pipeline for enterprise domain models. Cleaned proprietary knowledge archives, synthesized question-answer pairs using synthetic data generation techniques, and trained custom LoRA adapters on open-source foundation models.

Key Capabilities Delivered

Developed Python data ingestion pipelines using pandas and Polars to clean and deduplicate raw corporate documentation

Built automated synthetic data generator with self-consistency filtering to create high-quality instruction datasets

Configured parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT / LoRA / QLoRA) on multi-GPU nodes with Hugging Face Transformers

Tracked training loss, gradient norms, and evaluation metrics using Weights & Biases dashboards

Deep Dive

Engineering Challenges & Solutions

Critical architectural hurdles solved to deliver performance, security, and scale.

Catastrophic Forgetting & Format Hallucinations

The Challenge:

Fine-tuning base models on domain data frequently degrades their general reasoning and conversational formatting.

Architectural Solution:

Mixed 20% general instruction data with domain samples and applied strict EOS token masking during loss calculation.

Tangible Result: Retained high conversational coherence while boosting specialized domain task accuracy by 34%.
