Bright Wang
@brightwang
Senior AI/ML engineer specializing in GenAI, RAG, and production ML systems.
What I'm looking for
I am a hands-on AI/ML engineer with 10+ years building and shipping production-grade machine learning systems across edge AI, computer vision, NLP, GenAI, and MLOps. I focus on translating research and prototypes into robust, developer-facing platforms with strong emphasis on reproducibility, observability, and product-oriented delivery.
I have led design and deployment of RAG and LLM pipelines, implemented safety guardrails and evaluation frameworks, and built scalable inference and CI/CD solutions across cloud, edge, and hybrid environments. I mentor teams, author reference architectures, and prioritize reliable, measurable model performance and developer ergonomics.
