What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead the development of production generative AI and agentic products, partnering across product, design, research, and engineering to turn frontier model capabilities into reliable, high-impact systems.

I've built and scaled production LLM applications, AI agents, and machine learning platforms at Meta for enterprise search, automation, and intelligent workflows. My work spans RAG systems, multi-agent workflows, model optimization, evaluation frameworks, and production AI infrastructure.

I designed RAG-based systems with Python, SQL, LangChain, Pinecone, and FAISS, and built agent workflows using LangGraph, LangChain Agents, and MCP. I also developed fine-tuning pipelines for Llama-based models and integrated OpenAI GPT, Anthropic Claude, and open-source Llama models to balance quality, latency, and cost.

Previously, I led research, data science, experimentation, and backend engineering work at Meta and Facebook, translating behavioral and conversational data into product and business decisions. I presented recommendations to senior stakeholders, mentored junior teammates, and supported product strategy through rigorous analysis and financial evaluation.

Earlier, I built visualization and machine learning tools at Virtualitics, game mechanics at Infinity Ward, and network deployment tools at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. I bring a product-minded engineering approach to turning advanced AI capabilities into reliable systems with measurable business impact.
