03 Industry Experience

Multi-Agent Pipeline for Adobe Workfront Fusion
Adobe Inc. · Associate Technical Consultant · Aug 2024 – Apr 2025

Architected a multi-agent pipeline on Adobe's orchestration library—sequential agents for requirement extraction, module retrieval, and scenario stitching—automating plaintext-to-Fusion conversion. Advanced to top-24 semifinalists worldwide.

Fusion Documentation Automation Tool
Adobe Inc. · Associate Technical Consultant · Aug 2024 – Apr 2025

Built a Workfront Fusion documentation tool that parsed scenario JSON to flag orphan nodes and generated AI summaries into an auto-populated Word template, cutting documentation time 70%.

AI Agent for Creative Workflows
Adobe Inc. · Technical Consultant Intern · May – Jul 2023

Deployed an AI agent natively inside Workfront Fusion with @-mention commands (generate, edit, caption) calling ChatGPT, Photoshop, and Stable Diffusion APIs, reducing campaign turnaround from weeks to hours.

Edge CV Systems for Cooking
Nosh Robotics · Computer Vision Intern · Feb – Jun 2024

Trained and quantized ResNet, Inception, and MobileNet classifiers for real-time edge estimation of ingredient cooking levels. Applied zero-shot CLIP for oil/water pan detection.
