What I'm looking for

I seek roles building production GenAI/LLM systems with strong engineering practices, safety focus, and opportunities to scale infrastructure and mentor teams.

I am a Senior AI/ML Engineer with over 10 years building and shipping large-scale, enterprise-grade AI systems across GenAI, LLMs, AI agent, RL, and MLOps. I transform research into production: designing RAG stacks, multi-agent orchestration, inference cost and latency optimizations, and secure deployment patterns used by regulated customers.

My work spans leadership roles in product-grade LLM deployment, safety, and training infrastructure—delivering Claude and GPT-based solutions, enterprise retrieval, monitoring, CI/CD, and agent reliability. I focus on scalable architectures, reproducible pipelines, and robust evaluation so teams can adopt generative AI safely and efficiently.
