AI Engineer Co-op
Jan – Sep 2026
Staples Inc.
Built components of a production shopping assistant over a 200K+ product catalog. Worked on agent routing, fine-tuned models, graph retrieval, and a three-tier conversational memory system.
Hey, I'm Harshit. I work on agents and AI systems, from memory and inference to CUDA kernels.
Most recently, I worked on conversational AI at Staples. I'm finishing my master's in Data Analytics Engineering at Northeastern, graduating in December 2026.
A five-stage async pipeline that turns conversations into structured memories. Built with PostgreSQL and pgvector, with full-text and vector search combined through reciprocal rank fusion.
Includes pluggable model providers, contradiction detection, and memory export and deletion APIs.
Read the sourceA 13.3M-parameter causal CTC head over a frozen EmbeddingGemma 2 audio encoder, trained on 960 hours of LibriSpeech using one M4 Pro MacBook.
The released Core ML model reaches 4.18% word error rate on test-clean and 10.71% on test-other. The streaming build has 207 ms median word latency. Evaluated on English read speech.
Read the model cardWrote the MLX architecture module for Nanbeige4.2-3B, including its repeated decoder passes and separate KV caches, then converted it to 8-bit weights.
Validated against the official Hugging Face implementation: all 40 greedy output tokens matched in the reference comparison.
