@christopherwilliams1
Senior Machine Learning Engineer specializing in LLMs, MLOps, and production AI systems.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven Senior Machine Learning Engineer with over 10 years building scalable ML systems and leading AI-driven transformation across healthcare, finance, and retail.
I design and deploy LLM-powered solutions, including RAG pipelines, fine-tuning (QLoRA/PEFT), and prompt engineering to improve factual consistency and reduce hallucinations.
My work spans cloud-native real-time ML pipelines, MLOps, model observability, and streaming anomaly detection, delivering measurable improvements in retention, fraud detection, and clinician efficiency.
I champion reproducible infrastructure, feature stores, and privacy-aware techniques (differential privacy, federated learning) to enable safe, scalable production ML.
Experience
Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
Designed and deployed LLM-powered RAG document Q&A and vectorized ingestion pipelines, improving internal knowledge retrieval efficiency by 70% and reducing hallucinations by 35% through fine-tuning and prompt engineering.
