What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an AI/ML Developer role building production-grade LLM applications backed by robust APIs and databases, where I can apply my Python, LLM/LangChain, RAG, and applied ML background.

At Voltaflux, I designed and deployed client-focused RAG chatbots, connecting LLMs with vector retrieval to ground responses in domain knowledge. I also curated and annotated fine-tuning datasets to support more factual model outputs.

I’ve shipped production ML solutions at DataClear Consult and developed projects including a WhatsApp banking chatbot and a RAG-LM for antimicrobial prescription, which was a finalist in the AMR Vivli 2025 Challenge. My work spans LLM applications, predictive analytics, and applied ML across healthcare, agriculture, fintech, and biotech.
