What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can apply LLM training (RLHF/SFT/RAG/DPO), build scalable data pipelines, lead cross-functional teams, and deliver measurable product and model improvements.

I am an experienced Data and AI professional with a strong foundation in Python and software engineering, focused on building and optimizing Large Language Models (LLMs) using methods such as RLHF, RAG, DPO, VQA, IQA, SFT and related techniques. I improved model accuracy by 18% through optimized training strategies and reduce erroneous outputs through rigorous evaluation and training strategies.

I have engineered scalable backend services and ETL pipelines using Python frameworks (Django, Flask, FastAPI) and optimized databases and APIs to improve performance and reliability. I also build data dashboards and apply business intelligence to translate analytics into actionable insights for stakeholders.

I lead and collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver projects on schedule, having contributed to multi-modal and domain-specific model improvements that increased accuracy and reduced hallucinations, while also achieving operational efficiencies in data processing and KPI tracking.
