What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can architect production-grade AI/GenAI platforms, lead teams, ensure Responsible AI and security, and deliver scalable, measurable business value through strong MLOps and cloud-native engineering.

I’m a Principal AI Engineer / AI/ML Engineer with 10+ years of experience designing and deploying scalable Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Generative AI solutions. I’ve led enterprise initiatives across healthcare, FinTech, e-commerce, and cybersecurity—building systems that improve decision-making and measurable business value.

In my current role, I architect and deliver enterprise-scale AI platforms, including LLMs, Multimodal AI, and Agentic AI solutions. I’ve designed fine-tuned, evaluated, and deployed production-grade AI assistants, enterprise copilots, and multi-agent systems that support 10,000+ daily users, reduce hallucinations, and improve response quality.

I build robust Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and knowledge systems using vector databases and knowledge graphs, enabling intelligent search across millions of documents. I also optimize Transformer-based foundation models and inference pipelines, using tools like PyTorch/TensorFlow, Hugging Face, LoRA/QLoRA, and performance-focused runtimes to cut latency and GPU costs.

I take a security-first, Responsible AI approach—implementing HIPAA/GDPR/SOC 2-aligned governance, monitoring, bias detection, encryption, and access controls. I enjoy mentoring and leading teams of 10+ engineers while shipping cloud-native, production-grade AI services through strong MLOps/LLMOps and CI/CD practices.
