SHUCHI SHAH

As a Senior Software Engineer with over 7 years of experience, I have developed and implemented innovative software solutions, mainly for fintech products using Java technologies as a J2EE developer. Currently, I am expanding my expertise by pursuing a master's in Computational Science - Data Science from San Diego State University, where my research focuses on Generative AI, Enhancing the Retrieval-augmented Generation (RAG) for applications in Large Language Models (LLMs). Well-experienced in developing ERP systems and extremely proficient with performance optimization using Java Collection. Hands-on experience with Linux and other penetration OS. Constructing top-notch products that can make a positive difference in the lives of others is something that deeply motivates me.

Title: Sr Software Engineer / Gen AI Developer

• Analysis of Heartbleed vulnerability in OpenSSL, INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF INNOVATIVE RESEARCH IN TECHNOLOGY, 1, 12, 2349-6002, http://ijirt.org/master/publishedpaper/IJIRT102323_PAPER.pdf
• Internship & Training on 'Ethical Hacking & Cyber Security', TechDefence Labs Solutions Pvt Ltd

• Developed a hybrid AI application combining question-answering and summary generation as part of research on Retrieval-augmented Generation (RAG) techniques for Large Language Models (LLMs), by leveraging OpenAI and Hugging Face libraries.
• Explored and applied various LangChain methods (Stuff, Refine, Map-Reduce) and innovatively designed a custom Map-Reduce approach, boosting summary generation efficiency by 78%.
• Optimized accuracy and performance by experimenting with chunk sizes and embedding models, implementing an adaptive PDF handling strategy.
• Explored FAISS library and analyses its indexing algorithms (FlatL2, IVF, IVFPQ, HSNW), conducting comparative analysis and developed a FAISS-based hybrid search, reducing memory footprint by 91% and halving response time.
• Enhanced retrieval effectiveness, increasing context recall from 85% to 92%, and validated strategies with RAGAS evaluation metrics. Project Link: https://github.com/shuchi27/chat_with_pdfs
