What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with over 10 years of experience in building scalable machine learning systems and deploying NLP and LLM-powered solutions. My career has been dedicated to driving AI-driven business transformation across various sectors, including healthcare, finance, and retail. I have a proven track record of delivering actionable insights through deep learning and predictive modeling, consistently improving customer retention, fraud detection, and operational efficiency.
At Infosys, I designed and deployed a cutting-edge LLM-powered document Q&A system that improved internal knowledge retrieval efficiency by 70%. My expertise in fine-tuning models and engineering real-time ML pipelines has allowed me to lead successful projects that enhance factual consistency and task resolution accuracy. I am passionate about championing MLOps best practices and implementing robust ML observability stacks to ensure continuous model deployment and monitoring.
Throughout my career, I have developed innovative solutions, such as a multi-modal fusion model for personalized treatment planning at CVS Health and real-time trade monitoring tools at J.P. Morgan. My commitment to leveraging technology for impactful results drives my work, and I am eager to continue pushing the boundaries of machine learning and AI.
