Junaid Thompson

I am a Principal Machine Learning Engineer and Senior Data Scientist with deep expertise in AI, ML, and data science, focused on building production-grade models that solve complex business problems.

I design, train, and deploy supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning systems using TensorFlow and PyTorch, and I lead projects in NLP, recommendation systems, and computer vision to improve user engagement and operational efficiency.

My experience spans cloud ML platforms (Vertex AI, SageMaker), MLOps practices, scalable data engineering, and model optimization for GPUs/TPUs, and I have driven improvements in low-latency trading systems, medical-device analytics, and enterprise knowledge extraction.

I am committed to responsible AI, mentorship, and cross-functional collaboration, and I build monitoring, model-drift detection, and governance tooling to ensure reliable, compliant ML deployments.
