Senior AI Engineer building production machine learning systems—bridging training, evaluation, and reliable backend infrastructure.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior AI Engineer with over 6 years of experience building production machine learning systems, from model training and evaluation to the backend infrastructure that makes them reliable. I started at UCLA Health building HIPAA compliant data pipelines and APIs, then moved into machine learning at Newegg for search and personalization.
At Newegg, I developed and deployed deep learning ranking models that improved product search NDCG@10 by 8%, built end-to-end training pipelines with clickstream and user behavior signals using PySpark, and designed A/B experiments that lifted overall conversion rate by 2.3%. I also implemented a real-time feature serving layer that reduced feature computation latency from 200 milliseconds to under 20 milliseconds.
Now at Rho Technologies, I lead document intelligence initiatives across multiple languages. I train models like LayoutLMv3 on custom annotated datasets, architect document intelligence systems, and create evaluation frameworks and annotation systems that keep AI products trustworthy.
I work across the full stack of applied AI, closing the loop between training, rigorous testing, and real-world business impact—using automated evaluation harnesses, drift monitoring, closed-loop retraining workflows, and A/B experiments to improve extraction F1 and reduce manual QA and review load.

Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
Senior AI Engineer
Rho Technologies
Jun 2024 - Present (2 years)
Architected a multilingual document intelligence system and trained a LayoutLMv3 model on 50,000 annotated samples, reducing manual data entry overhead for new clients by 40%. Built automated evaluation and drift monitoring that cut manual QA from 20 hours per release to under five hours, and improved low-quality scan field extraction F1 from 78.5% to 90.7%.
Machine Learning Engineer
Newegg Commerce
Oct 2021 - May 2024 (2 years 7 months)
Developed and deployed deep learning ranking models in TensorFlow, improving product search NDCG@10 by 8% through feature engineering and hyperparameter tuning. Built large-scale training and real-time feature pipelines, and launched ranking/personalization experiments that increased overall conversion rate by 2.3%.
Built HIPAA-compliant Python ETL pipelines ingesting and validating electronic health record data from Epic Clarity feeds into a central analytics warehouse. Developed a FastAPI REST API with role-based access controls and auditing, and automated weekly reconciliation that previously required two days of manual analyst validation.
