Senior AI and MLOps engineer delivering production GenAI, LLM, and agentic workflows.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior AI and MLOps Engineer with 10+ years of end-to-end experience designing and deploying production-grade machine learning, GenAI, and MLOps solutions. I’m U.S. Citizen, translating complex business challenges into scalable, measurable AI-driven outcomes across Healthcare, FinTech, Insurance, Sports Commerce, and Telecom-like environments.
My focus is deep expertise in LLMs, RAG architectures, and agentic workflows using LangChain, LangGraph, and LlamaIndex—grounded in prompt engineering and strong production discipline. I’ve delivered intelligent document processing and conversational AI platforms at enterprise scale, recognized for clean, well-documented, production-ready code and strong cross-functional collaboration.
In my recent work at UnitedHealth Group, I architected a HIPAA-aligned clinical documentation Q&A assistant and improved operational outcomes (for example, reducing physician charting time by 35%). I also built an LLM-driven prior authorization engine, designed agentic eligibility and claims triage workflows, and led HIPAA-compliant data pipelines—then wired the whole system into reliable MLOps with MLflow, monitoring, automated retraining, and containerized deployments.
Earlier, at Fanatics, I built personalization recommendations and real-time demand forecasting, implemented full MLOps frameworks to reduce drift and degradation incidents, and created internal tools and dashboards that streamlined decision-making. At Apollo Global Management and Apollo Hospitals Group, I developed NLP contract/portfolio intelligence systems and prediction pipelines, combining modern LLM/agent patterns with robust data engineering and deployment practices.
Experience
Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
Architected an AWS Bedrock GenAI clinical documentation assistant that reduced physician charting time by 35%. Built LLM-based agentic workflows and HIPAA-compliant MLOps on AWS to automate retraining, monitoring, and zero-downtime deployments for multiple production clinical models.
Built personalization and demand forecasting ML systems on SageMaker to improve revenue and reduce overstock write-offs. Implemented MLOps on Azure DevOps/MLflow with drift monitoring and delivered ML-driven Power BI dashboards and A/B-tested checkout improvements.
Developed an LlamaIndex and Azure OpenAI NLP contract intelligence platform extracting key legal clauses from private equity documents. Built and monitored credit risk and portfolio monitoring systems, and migrated inference workloads to AKS to reduce infrastructure costs and improve throughput.
Designed readmission and length-of-stay prediction models and built an NLP triage system to categorize OPD requests by urgency. Developed Airflow ETL pipelines and executive Tableau dashboards, and implemented an insurance fraud detection model to flag anomalous claims.
