Manish Kumar

AI/ML Engineer | University of Toronto Graduate


Hi! Welcome to my portfolio.

I’m an AI/ML engineer passionate about building intelligent and scalable AI systems. I've 3 years of experience developing production-grade ML pipelines and GenAI applications. I completed my Master's at the University of Toronto, specializing in Robotics and AI systems. My current interests lie in LLMs and generative AI, with a strong focus on retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), agentic AI systems, and deploying foundation models at scale. I'm also deeply interested in applications of computer vision, reinforcement learning and the broader ecosystem of tools and techniques that power intelligent autonomous systems.

Take a look at some of my recent projects here, or explore more of my work on GitHub and my Resume.

Experience


Tech2U

Tech2U - University of Toronto

Classroom Ambassador (Data Science) - -

  • Led development of a scalable multimodal RAG pipeline for retrieving information from large-scale text and visual datasets, integrating a ColPali-based vision-language retriever.
  • Optimized retrieval performance with 4-bit QLoRA fine-tuning, novel 32× patch-reducing pooling, and re-ranking achieving ~93% NDCG@10—resulting in a 10× speedup over baseline.
  • Designed a kernel-based embedding fusion method and SmolDocling-powered document parser to enhance LLM response grounding; collaborated with domain experts to productionize chatbot behavior via prompt tuning and FastAPI integration.
