What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role building scalable, production AI/ML systems with end-to-end ownership, strong MLOps practices, cross-functional collaboration, and opportunities to mentor engineers and drive measurable business impact.

I am a Machine Learning leader with 10+ years of senior experience building production AI across computer vision, NLP, and predictive analytics. I specialize in TensorFlow, PyTorch, Keras, Scikit-learn, Hugging Face, OpenCV, SQL, Pandas, and NumPy, and I apply advanced architectures like CNNs, RNNs, and Transformers to solve complex problems.

I lead teams to architect enterprise-wide AI/ML systems and MLOps pipelines using MLflow, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure). I have a strong track record delivering scalable model training and inference, optimizing models for performance and deployment, and translating technical solutions into measurable business impact.
