What I'm looking for

I seek senior ML roles focusing on scalable NLP/LLM systems, strong MLOps practices, collaborative teams, mentorship, and measurable product impact.

I am a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with seven years of experience building, deploying, and optimizing AI systems across healthcare and enterprise domains.

At Intuit I designed and deployed NLP models for healthcare analytics, led a team of five junior data scientists, and implemented MLOps pipelines with model monitoring and A/B testing to ensure robustness.

Previously I developed predictive models and production deployments at Cellebrite, performing feature engineering, EDA, and translating business needs into data-driven solutions using SQL, Python, R, and SAS.

Earlier work at Cloudera focused on Python-based application design, reliability improvements, TDD, and mentoring, which reduced crashes and post-release bugs while raising code quality.
