Kingsley Nwabueze Jide

AI Systems Engineer — Real-Time Pipelines & Retrieval Architectures

Five-plus years shipping production AI systems: voice agents that talk back in under two seconds, ingestion pipelines that don't fall over at scale, and retrieval stacks that combine vector and graph search to make structured knowledge queryable. I build where software intelligence meets physical and engineering environments.

Research Projects

A new indigenously developed dynamometer design and application in cutting force analysis of a turning process

Conference on Engineering Research, Technology Innovation and Practice CERTIP, 2021

The project produced a three‑axis cutting‑force dynamometer that integrates a T‑shaped mild‑steel shank, a carbide cutting insert, and a Wheatstone‑bridge strain-gauge network; raw bridge voltages are read by an Arduino microcontroller running custom C++ firmware that implements the calibrated conversion equations for tangential, feed, and radial forces, performs real-time computation of force values, and writes the results to an SD-card data logger; the firmware was validated against a simulated finite-element calibration (showing 0.1–17% error) and against linear and non-linear predictive models, achieving R² values between 0.80 and 0.93, thereby confirming that the embedded system accurately captures and stores the experimental cutting-force data.

PID-Regulated Simulated Annealing for Clinical Neural Network Pruning: A Comparative Study on ResNet-18 and MobileNetV2 model architecture

(Under review)

This research addresses a major bottleneck in deploying deep learning models to resource-constrained edge devices (like smartphones and IoT hardware) by optimizing model pruning—the process of cutting redundant neural connections to make networks smaller and faster. Traditional methods rely on simulated annealing (a physics-inspired trial-and-error search) regulated by a "blind," preset cooling schedule that frequently freezes too early or wastes computation. To solve this, this work develops a closed-loop hybrid controller using a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) feedback loop (the same math behind vehicle cruise control) to act as a smart thermostat. By dynamically monitoring the search speed and adjusting temperature in real-time, the controller prevents optimization stagnation and ensures a highly efficient search path.

Let's build something that doesn't fall over at scale.
