What I'm looking for

I seek roles building production AI/ML systems and LLM orchestration at scale, with strong engineering ownership, cloud-native tooling, and opportunities to impact product outcomes.

I am a Senior AI/ML and Full Stack Engineer with 6+ years building production AI systems at Zoom and eBay, focusing on LLM orchestration, Retrieval-Augmented Generation, and scalable ML pipelines. I have led deployment of model serving infrastructure, vector databases, and microservices to deliver sub-second responses and measurable product impact.

My background spans full stack development with React front-ends and Python/Node.js back-ends, cloud-native infrastructure on AWS, and ML tooling including LangChain, PyTorch, ONNX, and Triton. I consistently drive improvements through A/B testing, prompt optimization, and performant data pipelines that scale to millions of users.
