I build production AI, LLM, and machine learning systems for large-scale marketplace and e-commerce decisions.
What I'm looking for
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.
