Featured Projects

Rosebud 🌹

Rosebud is a film recommendation Q&A bot
Uses semantic search and metadata filters for recommendations
Database: ~10,000 popular films (1950-2023) pulled from the The Movie Database API
Implements:
- Prefect for data orchestration
- LangChain and Pinecone for retrieval-augmented generation
- Weights & Biases and Weave for evaluation
- Streamlit for the front-end
- OpenAI for embeddings and chat models
Production-grade, end-to-end natural language processing solution
Check out this article I wrote in Towards Data Science documenting my experience in making this project
