What I'm looking for

I seek roles building production ML/AI systems where I can apply MLOps, LLM optimization, and end-to-end model deployment to deliver reliable, scalable solutions.

I am an AI Engineer and ML practitioner with hands-on experience designing, training, and deploying NLP and computer vision models for healthcare and e-commerce clients.

I have built production-grade systems—scaling sentiment analysis on AWS SageMaker, implementing RAG chatbots with LangChain and Pinecone, and optimizing LLMs like Mistral-7B with QLoRA.

My work blends MLOps and software engineering: I automate CI/CD pipelines, containerize services with Docker, and manage deployments on AWS (EC2, S3, Lambda, ECR, Kubernetes), improving reliability and cutting operational costs.

I hold a B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering and completed specialized coursework and certifications in Deep Learning, PyTorch, and Generative AI; I focus on practical, data-driven solutions and reproducible model development.
