About

Hey there! Thanks for making it this far — want to know what I’ve been building lately?

​

I’m Jerry, a Senior AI Engineer at Digital Currency Group, where I design intelligent, decentralized AI systems that actually make decisions — not just predictions. I specialize in building production-ready AI agents powered by large language models (LLMs) like Qwen, LLaMA, and Phi, orchestrated with LangChain, LangGraph, and Weaviate vector search.

 

One of my proudest projects is VCScout-AI — an end-to-end agent that analyzed 300+ startup deals and helped drive $450K+ in AI-informed investments. My work has also spanned federated learning, blockchain-integrated ML, and fine-tuning LLMs for high-stakes domains like financial trading and smart contract security.

​

Before DCG, I worked at Intel, where I led TensorFlow CPU performance optimization — improving core operations by 400% and earning the Division Achievement Award. I’ve also been a Top Performer in FLock’s AI Arena and was featured in their blog, Twitter, and YouTube.

​

I hold a Master’s in Data Science from Northeastern University and I thrive at the intersection of research, infra, and real-world impact.

​

Welcome to my world. Grab a paddle — the AI waters are deep, and we’re going swimming.
