What I'm looking for

I'm focused on building production-grade AI, ML, and Generative AI solutions for large-scale, data-intensive problems, from experimentation and model development through deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement.

I build production AI and machine learning systems for large-scale marketplace and e-commerce problems. At Instacart, I develop end-to-end ML workflows and LLM-powered applications using OpenAI APIs and LangChain.

Previously at Amazon, I productionized delivery prediction, promise optimization, recommendation, and causal ML solutions, and designed experiments to inform customer-facing decisions. I bring 10+ years of experience across Python, SQL, PyTorch, TensorFlow, AWS, Spark, MLOps, and cloud-based ML platforms.
