Experience

Oracle

DB Intern

May 2026 – July 2026

Engineered a structured memory layer in Python for engineering agents and optimized developer tooling workflows.

  • •Built a structured memory layer in Python for engineering agents, nearly doubling first-result retrieval accuracy (Recall@1: 0.29 → 0.54) and achieving 1.000 Recall@10/Hit@10 on live production benchmark queries
  • •Built a producer-push ingestion pipeline integrating internal tooling into an organizational memory layer, preserving review evidence, metadata, and contextual scope for downstream engineering agents
  • •Reduced server-side embedding + semantic retrieval latency from roughly 750ms to 35ms (20× faster) by optimizing the retrieval pipeline, enabling low-latency production memory lookups
  • •Evaluated a Rust-based command-output compaction tool, then built a Python wrapper extending it across developer tooling, reducing Git workflow token usage by approximately 34% while improving AI workflow reliability
