Nerd Flow — AI/ML Engineer Intern
Built the AI hiring stack for Preplify, the company's HR management platform. An LLM résumé-parsing stage turns raw CV text into structured candidate profiles; screening scores each applicant against the job description per criterion — skills match, experience relevance, education fit, career stability — instead of one opaque number; shortlisted candidates sit a structured AI-conducted first interview that's transcribed and scored the same way. HR can override every automated decision. Scenario analysis put HR's hands-on time for a 120-applicant opening at ~1.75 hrs, down from ~34.5.
I also benchmarked the model options behind it — self-hosted Qwen2.5-1.5B via Ollama and a fine-tuned Qwen3-0.6B against hosted OpenAI APIs — weighing accuracy against cost-per-résumé and keeping candidate PII in-house, then shipped browser prototypes of the hiring panel and parser flow and presented the recommendations to the team.
