What I'm looking for

I want to build production-grade GenAI and computer-vision systems—taking ideas from experimentation to reliable deployment. I’m looking for teams that value scalable distributed architectures, real-world feedback loops, and measurable impact.

I’m an AI Systems Engineer with 8+ years building production-grade systems across computer vision, backend platforms, and real-time data pipelines. Recently, I’ve been developing GenAI-based applications, including RAG pipelines and LLM-driven automation systems.

I’m proud of outcomes that turn models into dependable operations: at ViaPlus (Vinci Highways), I built FASTag-based vehicle validation workflows and designed backend services for high-throughput verification using FastAPI and microservices. I also delivered an internal HR support chatbot using RAG-based document retrieval, cutting manual time by ~50%—and improved AI document validation (OCR + LLM) to over 90% accuracy while reducing manual checks.

Across roles in robotics and perception, I’ve improved measurement accuracy by ~60%, boosted model accuracy by 25% through training pipeline upgrades and real-world feedback loops, and accelerated production by taking inspection cycles from 2 days to 4 hours. I enjoy working across the stack—Python, distributed systems, and scalable architecture—so I can take systems from experimentation to reliable production use.
