What I'm looking for

I seek roles building production-grade Generative AI and LLM systems with strong MLOps, kernel-level performance optimization, collaborative product teams, and cloud-native scalable deployments.

I am a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with 10+ years designing and deploying scalable AI solutions, focused on Generative AI, LLMs, and NLP. I build end-to-end ML systems from data engineering and model development to cloud-native deployment, emphasizing production readiness.

My work includes architecting RAG pipelines and vector search (FAISS, Pinecone), integrating LangChain, and optimizing large transformer models with techniques like LoRA/PEFT. I have led development of ML APIs (FastAPI), containerized deployments (Docker, Kubernetes), and CI/CD for model packaging and inference on AWS and GCP.

I emphasize performance profiling and optimization at the kernel level (Kinetotrace, TorchDispatch, CUDA/Triton), experiment tracking (MLflow, W&B), and robust MLOps practices. I partner with product and engineering teams to deliver measurable, production-grade AI features that drive business value.
