What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can build and deploy production ML/AI solutions, collaborate cross-functionally, and grow in MLOps and generative AI within impact-driven teams.

I am an AI Engineer and Data Scientist experienced in building and deploying ML and generative AI systems, from data collection and preprocessing through model training, evaluation, and production deployment. I have delivered LLM-powered chatbots, RAG-based Q&A systems, predictive models, NLP pipelines, and interactive dashboards using tools such as Python, SQL, Power BI, Streamlit, Gradio, LangChain, FastAPI and Docker.

My work includes fine-tuning transformer models, engineering preprocessing pipelines, implementing MLOps workflows and CI/CD, and creating user-facing applications that turn data into actionable insights. I focus on practical, scalable solutions that improve decision-making and operational efficiency, and I enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams to translate technical results into business impact.
