What I'm looking for

I seek ML engineering roles focused on LLM pretraining, scalable data and inference pipelines, and production RAG systems in collaborative, research-driven teams.

I am a machine learning research engineer focused on large language model pretraining, evaluation, and high-performance data pipelines. I have contributed to training and analyzing model-scaling behavior across hundreds of millions to billions of parameters, enhanced architectures with multi-headed latent attention and key-value caching, and led dataset preparation using CC-Net, GoClassy, Ungoliant and custom filters.

I build production-ready tooling and pipelines in Rust, Go and Python — including exact line-level deduplication, MinHash near-duplicate detection, asynchronous Hugging Face-compatible pretraining pipelines, and domain-adapted RAG systems. I have experience finetuning large models (e.g., Qwen-8B), pretraining code models, and deploying retrieval workflows for PDF and conversational RAG applications.
