What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on senior ML role where I can lead teams, build production-grade AI systems, and drive MLOps excellence in an impactful, collaborative environment.

I am a seasoned Machine Learning Engineer with over 12 years of experience turning complex data problems into real-world AI solutions. I have designed and deployed large-scale systems across NLP, computer vision, generative AI, and MLOps, and I prioritize reliability, measurability, and impact.

I lead and mentor engineering teams, architect production ML workflows, and automate model lifecycle processes using tools like Docker, Airflow, MLflow, and CI/CD pipelines. I have successfully implemented RAG frameworks, fine-tuned LLMs, and integrated vector databases for real-time intelligence in enterprise environments.

I am hands-on with PyTorch and TensorFlow, experienced deploying on AWS, GCP, and Azure, and I enjoy transforming ambitious ideas into scalable, secure systems that deliver measurable business value.
