What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation, collaboration, and growth in AI technology.

I am a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with over 9 years of experience in architecting and deploying production-grade AI systems across various sectors, including cybersecurity, education, and financial services. My expertise lies in developing scalable ML pipelines and LLM-based applications, ensuring secure, cloud-native infrastructure. One of my notable achievements includes leading the development of SentraCore, a GenAI-powered cybersecurity platform that significantly enhanced real-time threat detection capabilities.

At Western Governors University, I architected the NeuroStack AI multimodal platform, which improved student outcomes through adaptive learning engines. My proficiency in technologies such as PyTorch, OpenAI, and AWS has enabled me to design innovative solutions that drive efficiency and effectiveness. I am passionate about leveraging AI to solve complex problems and enhance user experiences.
