Siddhant Gupta

I'm Siddhant, an AI Engineer and master's candidate in Computer Science at UMBC. My work spans refining large language models, building RAG pipelines, and applying training approaches such as QLoRA or reinforcement learning. Over the course of my research, I've explored how YARA sub-signatures improve malware detection at scale and integrated GPT-4 or Claude to design dynamic multi-turn chatbots.

I also enjoy sharing insights through blog posts and tech talks on LLM fine-tuning, prompt engineering, and retrieval strategies. When I'm not busy coding or analyzing data, you might find me on a soccer field, exploring the latest video games, or putting together a new pasta recipe in the kitchen 🍝. One of my favorite accomplishments was building a mortgage-underwriting MVP that cut manual workflows by 95% for a fintech client, and I also developed a cross-platform AI agent that handles data extraction, site navigation, and PDF output.

I value connections with people who want to discuss AI-driven solutions, whether they're domain experts or just curious about machine learning. If you'd like to chat about RAG, LLM optimization, or even swap soccer stories and cooking tips, let's connect! ⚽🎮
