AI/NLP engineer building scalable, privacy-preserving ML pipelines for real-world applications.
What I'm looking for
I am an AI/NLP engineer who builds end-to-end systems that transform unstructured media into actionable structured data. I focus on scalable, language-agnostic pipelines for summarization, classification, and metadata extraction across audio, video, and text.
My work has reduced manual processing by 70% for a food-ordering system through a robust hybrid NER model, and I currently develop automated video transcription and summarization systems to improve post-production workflows. I deploy models in production using Docker, Kubernetes, and Azure DevOps.
My graduate research specialized in privacy-preserving federated learning, integrating differential privacy and secure multiparty computation to enable collaborative analysis of sensitive health data while maintaining strong privacy guarantees. I designed a Log-Normal DP mechanism and achieved a 77% model performance under a strict privacy budget.
I bring practical ML and software engineering skills across Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face, and cloud/container platforms, and I value building trustworthy, privacy-first AI that delivers measurable operational impact.
