What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead end-to-end production ML and NLP systems—shipping reliable MLOps, RAG/LLM features, and monitoring that reduce incidents in regulated, high-scale environments. I value collaboration with platform and business teams to deliver scalable solutions.

I’m a Senior AI/ML Engineer with 10 years of experience building and deploying production machine learning systems, NLP applications, and AI-driven platforms across fintech, SaaS, and enterprise environments.

I focus on end-to-end ML workflows—from data processing and model training through deployment, monitoring, and production support—so customer-facing and internal AI systems stay dependable at scale.

In my current role, I designed and deployed production ML systems using Python, Vertex AI, MLflow, FastAPI, and Kubernetes, including transaction risk scoring and fraud-monitoring workflows. I also built RAG pipelines with LangChain and vector search, improving internal document retrieval accuracy by 30% and reducing manual support research effort.

I’m equally focused on reliability and governance: I reduced recurring production support incidents by 35% using automated monitoring (prediction quality validation, model drift detection, inference latency tracking, and service health monitoring) and strengthened documentation, auditability, and controlled release workflows for regulated financial data environments.
