What I'm looking for

I'm looking to own production AI systems end-to-end, using rigorous evaluation, practical trade-offs, and stakeholder collaboration to ship reliable multimodal and LLM products.

At Zatch, I own the rollout of multimodal AI pipelines for a live-video bargain marketplace, from FFmpeg keyframing and CLIP gating to structured extraction, confidence routing, and human review.

I cut VLM calls from roughly 67,000 to 500 per day and reduced ASR costs from about $25 per day to under $1 using self-hosted faster-whisper. I also built a 300-product golden-set evaluation harness that gates releases on per-attribute precision and recall.

Previously at Sona Networks, I used Python and SQL to audit detection rules and build anomaly-detection workflows for log and network-traffic data. I enjoy turning model economics, evaluation results, and failure modes into practical shipping decisions.
