What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build scalable, high-impact AI products that solve complex problems, using machine learning, MLOps, cloud platforms, and cross-functional collaboration.

I've built AI solutions at Innovate AI Solutions, including a BERT-based document-processing model that reduced manual data entry by 40% for 500+ users and a PyTorch/OpenCV defect-detection system that reached 99.5% quality-assurance accuracy.

I also engineered containerized AWS inference pipelines that reduced latency by 30%, integrated LLM-powered conversational AI to improve first-contact resolution by 25%, and established MLflow and Airflow MLOps workflows. Earlier at TechNova Systems, I developed recommendation models that increased user engagement by 15% and contributed to Apache Spark data pipelines processing terabytes of user data. Alongside software engineering, I've led brand strategy, campaign development, market analysis, and cross-functional collaboration.
