What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own end-to-end ML/data pipelines, apply LLMs for NLP and document understanding, and use big data to turn business data into measurable intelligence with strong engineering collaboration.

I’m a Senior Data Science Engineer focused on the complete data journey—from data collection and database administration to business intelligence—using machine learning and big data processing. In my current role (Apr. 2024–Current), I leverage open-source AI models/LLMs such as Llama-3.1-8b and BERT, using PyTorch to build NLP and text classification solutions on proprietary documents.

Previously, I worked as an AI Application Developer (Feb. 2022–Mar. 2024), supporting client engagements online and helping deliver high-quality AI/Machine Learning outcomes across sectors, while working toward launching an AI consultancy startup. Earlier experience includes an AI specialist position (Dec. 2020–Jan. 2022) where I applied statistical modeling and ML to refine AI modeling and data pipelines, and a Big Data Application Consultant track involving SAP Hybris/Ariba implementations plus data mining and cloud technologies.
