AI/ML Engineer and LLM specialist delivering high-quality RAG, prompt evaluation, and production-ready datasets with measurable quality gains.
What I'm looking for
I’m an AI/ML Engineer and LLM Specialist with 1+ year of experience focused on LLM fine-tuning, advanced prompt engineering, and prompt evaluation. I build instruction-following datasets and engineer quality into every step of model-ready data creation.
As a Pod Lead, I mentor 10+ AI trainers and run structured feedback loops that reduced task rework by ~25% and improved submission quality by 30%+. I review 50+ multi-turn tasks weekly, resolve rubric discrepancies, and streamline review workflows to cut turnaround time by 20%.
In my LLM/data annotation work, I engineered multimodal VLA dataset pipelines at production scale, labeling 1,000+ system-interaction and workflow videos and achieving 98%+ QA pass rates. I author CoT reasoning traces and intent-driven prompt captions to align with instruction-following benchmarks, then validate compliance through rigorous evaluation.
I also deliver end-to-end AI solutions and supporting services—building a RAG-powered resume/job match chatbot that reduces manual review effort by 70%, and creating RESTful backend systems (e.g., appointment booking) with measurable error reduction. I bring team leadership, QA discipline, and scalable engineering practices to every deployment.
