What I'm looking for

I seek roles leading AI/ML teams to build secure, scalable, cloud-native models and MLOps pipelines, with opportunities for mentorship and measurable business impact.

I am a Senior AI/ML Engineer with 13+ years designing and deploying machine learning systems across e-commerce, finance, healthcare, and telecommunications. I build cloud-native, production-grade models and pipelines using modern frameworks and MLOps practices to deliver measurable business impact.

I have led AI/ML and data engineering teams, established centralized tooling, and mentored engineers to scale development velocity. My work includes demand forecasting, predictive maintenance, document Q&A platforms, computer vision, and recommender systems that produced cost savings, improved KPIs, and realtime decision support.

I prioritize secure, compliant, and ethical AI — implementing RAG systems, RLHF, vector databases, and robust CI/CD for repeatable delivery. I enjoy solving complex problems, optimizing processes, and creating analytics and dashboarding solutions that help stakeholders act with confidence.
