What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build production GenAI/RAG and agentic systems, plus spatial computer vision pipelines (LiDAR/GIS) that measurably reduce manual work, with room to ship, evaluate, and iterate at enterprise scale.

I’m a Senior Data Scientist and Gen-AI & Agentic AI specialist with 10+ years of enterprise experience across Generative AI & Agentic AI, Geospatial AI & LiDAR, and Computer Vision & Autonomous Perception. I focus on turning frontier models into reliable, production-grade systems that teams can deploy and iterate on.

In Generative & Agentic AI, I built production RAG pipelines using Llama (Llama 3.1) and LangGraph-based multi-agent orchestration, along with LLM-powered KPI automation and agentic workflows deployed at enterprise scale. I’ve also implemented LLM/RAG question-answering over business documents and generated explainable recommendations with auditability in mind.

In Geospatial AI & LiDAR, I engineered end-to-end aerial LiDAR point-cloud pipelines (.LAS/.LAZ) integrating SAM3 with SamGeo for zero-shot oil-field asset mapping. I delivered automated 3D terrain and infrastructure mapping (DSM/3D), exporting production-ready GIS layers (GeoPackage, Shapefile, GeoTIFF) directly consumable by field operations, while reducing manual GIS surveying time by ~80%.

In Computer Vision, I delivered real-time object detection and multi-object tracking systems using YOLOv5, SAM2/SAM3, Florence2, and ByteTracker. I’m especially motivated by solutions at the intersection of spatial intelligence, autonomous perception, and frontier LLM capability for smart-city, digital-transformation, and autonomous-mobility initiatives.
