What I'm looking for

I'm seeking senior AI/ML engineering roles where I can architect scalable ML systems, lead MLOps excellence, optimize production models, and collaborate cross-functionally in an impact-driven engineering culture.

I am a results-driven Staff Machine Learning Engineer with over 15 years of experience evolving from core software engineering and infrastructure automation to architecting and deploying impactful AI/ML solutions at scale. I have optimized deep learning models (TensorFlow, PyTorch) and built real-time data pipelines (Spark, Kafka), achieving a 10x reduction in model latency and 5x cost savings while improving model release frequency and MLOps efficiency.

I design production-ready ML workflows on AWS (SageMaker, Lambda, CloudFormation), lead cross-functional teams, and mentor engineers to deliver robust, scalable systems. I am seeking senior AI/ML engineering roles where I can apply model optimization, MLOps, and systems engineering to solve complex business problems.
