What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable cloud and GenAI platforms with strong automation, observability, and security; prefer collaborative, DevOps/GitOps-driven teams focused on production-grade MLOps and low-latency inference.

I am a Senior Systems Engineer with 7+ years designing and operating large-scale cloud platforms, real-time data pipelines, MLOps systems, and GenAI infrastructure. I build secure, low-latency, observable systems using infrastructure-as-code, GitOps, and automated CI/CD.

I've implemented Spark-based ETL using AWS Glue, governed data lakes with Lake Formation, and end-to-end MLOps with SageMaker, MLflow, Kubeflow, and DVC, training and deploying PyTorch and TensorFlow models for production inference.

I design distributed compute platforms (Ray, KubeRay) on EKS, optimize inference with NVIDIA Triton and TensorRT, and integrate search/vector stores (OpenSearch, Pinecone, FAISS) for GenAI and RAG workflows—always prioritizing automation, security, and observability.
