What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can ship full-stack features and production ML—fine-tuning LLMs for real products, integrating APIs/CRMs, and owning CI/CD and deployment workflows end to end.

I’m working at Merits Capital as a Software Engineer, deploying and integrating CRM workflows while implementing and fine-tuning transformer-based LLMs (Llama 3.2) for QA using QLora. I’ve also handled GitLab CI/CD pipelines—debugging merge requests and pipeline failures—so production deployments stay on track.

Previously, at Soften Technologies, I trained ML models for stock price trend prediction and built a UI in Python and MATLAB to track algorithm performance with confusion matrices. I’ve also shipped projects like a pre-IPO investment platform with Django REST Framework, Next.js, JWT-authenticated REST APIs, and a scraping + caching pipeline, plus an AI business intelligence agent built with FastAPI and Claude tool-use.
