MBBS and machine learning engineer building end-to-end clinical systems across time-series modelling and clinical NLP

Currently contributing to ML research workflows at RadNomics involving large-scale radiology report generation, data augmentation, and proprietary LLM evaluation

Python · PyTorch · Hugging Face Transformers · Scikit-learn · Pandas · FastAPI · Docker · Google Cloud Run · GitHub Actions

• Hybrid clinical NLP system generating structured entity outputs from adult ICU progress notes
• Implemented rule-based regex extraction schemas for recall-focused extraction of 3 clinical entity types
• Fine-tuned a BioClinicalBERT classifier on 1000+ manually annotated entities, and integrated precision-oriented threshold tuning for final entity validation
• Extracted 780,000+ structured entities from a preprocessed ICU corpus of 160,000+ notes (30,000+ stays)
• Transformer validation achieved +45.9% in precision and −83.3% in false positives relative to rule-only baseline
• Deployed inference pipeline as stateless, containerised API on Google Cloud Run with GitHub Actions versioning

Python · PyTorch · LightGBM · Scikit-learn · Pandas · NumPy · SHAP

• Dual-architecture ICU early warning system combining a Temporal CNN (TCN) and LightGBM to predict NEWS2-derived deterioration outcomes across 3 clinical risk dimensions
• Transformed clinical data across 140 ICU stays using CO2 retainer logic, GCS mapping, and oxygen protocols
• Engineered 171 timestamp-level features (8 vital parameters; 96-hour windows) and 40 aggregated patient-level features from 70,000+ extracted time-series observations
• TCN achieved +9.3% AUC improvement for acute-event detection; LightGBM achieved −68% Brier score and −48% RMSE for prolonged risk exposure
• Implemented clinician-interpretable SHAP and saliency mapping for feature contribution insights
