What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead production ML/NLP/LLM and enterprise MLOps in regulated healthcare or security contexts—pairing rigorous validation, fairness, and monitoring with real stakeholder impact. I want to mentor senior engineers and scale end-to-end pipelines.

I’m a strategic engineering leader with 10+ years driving high-impact machine learning initiatives and mentoring cross-functional senior teams to deliver production-grade AI solutions. I specialize in turning complex, unstructured clinical and security data into reliable, stakeholder-ready outcomes.

I architect end-to-end NLP and LLM pipelines that transform clinical notes into regulatory-grade real-world evidence. From deploying Transformer-based architectures to implementing RAG and prompt-based workflows, I validate ML-extracted variables against expert-curated gold datasets to protect data integrity and reproducibility.

In healthcare environments, I’ve deployed edge-based computer vision for low-latency detection (e.g., fall and unauthorized wandering signals) and integrated privacy-preserving approaches like dynamic face-blurring and person-redaction to support HIPAA compliance. I also build MLSecOps capabilities—model versioning, automated testing, and performance monitoring—to keep detection accuracy consistent in evolving threat landscapes.

I’m at my best bridging technical roadmaps and stakeholder requirements for global pharmaceutical and life science partners. I scale enterprise MLOps across cloud and hybrid environments, leveraging robust monitoring, risk assessment, and fairness/bias frameworks to ensure models remain accurate, equitable, and operationally dependable.
