Senior AI/ML engineer specializing in GenAI platforms, RAG, and scalable production systems.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior AI/ML Engineer with over 10 years designing and deploying production-grade machine learning and generative AI systems across healthcare, fintech, and cloud platforms. I specialize in LLM orchestration, RAG architectures, agentic workflows, scalable inference, and end-to-end MLOps.
At companies including Lyra Health, Anthropic, and AWS, I built HIPAA-compliant GenAI systems, led RAG and multi-agent designs, implemented hallucination monitoring and guardrails, and delivered autoscaling inference and observability for high-reliability environments. I have a proven record of translating research advances into robust, explainable, and business-impacting AI solutions.
I collaborate closely with product, engineering, and domain teams to align safety, regulatory, and performance goals, mentor engineers, and drive operational best practices including CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, and experiment tracking to ensure reproducible, secure, and scalable deployments.
