Machine Learning & AI
AI / ML Engineering Intern · FlyRank AI
Jul 2026 – Sep 2026
Internship
- Built a CTR Opportunity Scoring capstone: a decision-support model that ranks pages for SEO metadata review.
- Used DuckDB to query the ~78.8M-row Hugging Face warehouse (Parquet) without loading it into RAM, verifying grain and scale; modelled on a 30k-row anonymized starter slice.
- Compared a hand-written baseline, Logistic Regression, and Random Forest on a client-holdout split: Random Forest reached Precision@50 of 0.640 vs 0.260 for the rule.
- Demonstrated client-overlap leakage (naive split 0.940 vs honest 0.640) and planted two deliberate leaks (trend_pct, ctr) to check the validation harness.
- Turned scores into six reason-coded action archetypes with human-review requirements and an explicit list of what should never be automated.
- Wrote and published the research paper, and completed Anthropic Academy courses on AI fluency and Claude API usage.
