What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can ship production ML and LLM/NLP systems end-to-end—building feature pipelines, RAG/semantic search, and low-latency model serving—with strong engineering practices, measurable impact, and real collaboration with stakeholders.

I’m an ML Engineer with 4+ years of building and shipping production ML systems—turning messy data and real business needs into reliable pipelines, decision support, and user-facing intelligence. I specialize in LLM/NLP applications, feature pipelines, and low-latency model serving.

In my recent work, I designed and deployed an automated LangChain pipeline to cut leadership reporting time from 3 days to 4 hours by replacing a manual Excel-and-email workflow. I also built a RAG-based knowledge portal (Milvus vector store + GPT-4) that indexed 5 years of policy and program documents, enabling 200+ staff to self-serve institutional knowledge and reducing research time from 45 minutes to under 3 minutes.

I focus on performance and operational correctness in production. I improved outreach targeting precision by 34% using spaCy and Transformer-based NLP classifiers trained on 12,000+ survey responses, and I reduced model endpoint error rates from 8% to 0.6% by adding structured request validation, latency logging, and alerting across multiple Flask + Docker microservices.

Previously at AIG, I built a LangChain + Pinecone RAG system that reduced underwriter review time by 60% by auto-extracting key contract clauses from 50,000+ insurance PDFs, and I trained XGBoost and Random Forest ensembles to lift risk classification precision from 71% to 89%. Across both roles, I partner closely with stakeholders to translate goals into scoped ML work with clear success metrics—and I care deeply about reducing manual effort while keeping latency low.

Executive Data Scientist

InfoWay Solutions

Jan 2021 - Jul 2023 (2 years 6 months)

Developed XGBoost churn and conversion prediction models to help clients prioritize at-risk accounts and high-intent leads, and engineered real-time scoring endpoints achieving sub-200ms P95 latency. Built recommendation engines for cross-sell uplift and created reusable ML pipeline templates with automated hyperparameter tuning and cross-validation to reduce retraining turnaround.
