Hi, I'm Areeb!
🧑💻 Student • MCS @ UIUC
I build practical AI systems and production-style software. My recent work spans RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, and a Spring Boot + Chrome Extension research assistant. I’m a CodePath E3 Scholar and keep a 3.9 GPA with Data Science concentration.
- 🧠 Focus: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), LLM agents, full-stack backends, and eval/latency tuning
- 🏆 Highlights: SCUDEM Outstanding Award (highest distinction), Grand Integrator (1st place, Integral Bee), 3rd place Undergraduate Math Competition
- 🎯 Looking for: AI/ML + SWE roles where I can own end-to-end features (retrieval, agents, APIs, observability)
-
Research Assistant Extension — Spring Boot + Chrome Extension
Two-tier system: Java/Spring backend (Gemini via WebClient, Jackson/Lombok) + MV3 extension for in-page highlight ➜ summarize ➜ notes. -
RAG-LLM Applications — Website & PDF RAG + LangGraph agent
Suite of grounded QA apps using LangChain, FAISS/Chroma, Streamlit, PyPDF2; modular chunking/embeddings and hybrid retrieval (latency ↓ ~25%). -
Developer Tools Research LLM Agent — LangGraph + Firecrawl
Autonomous agent that searches, extracts, and compares developer tools; multi-step reasoning with lightweight visualization.
