What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can apply deep learning and computer vision to engineering workflows, work cross-functionally, scale models in production, and continue growing in MLOps and generative AI.

I am a Data Scientist with over 2 years of experience focused on deep learning, computer vision, and large language models, delivering AI solutions that integrate into engineering and simulation workflows.

I design and deploy advanced neural architectures including CNNs, GCNs, Transformers, ST-GCN, and GANs, and optimize models for accuracy and inference performance across large-scale datasets.

I build end-to-end ML pipelines, automate preprocessing and deployment, and scale training using techniques like PyTorch FSDP to improve throughput and reliability in production settings.

I collaborate cross-functionally with engineering teams to embed model outputs into CAE and simulation workflows, producing measurable improvements such as reduced model-driven errors and faster inference performance.
