What I'm looking for

I seek a senior AI/ML role building production-grade GenAI and ML systems, emphasizing MLOps, scalable infrastructure, and measurable business impact in collaborative, enterprise-focused teams.

I am a Senior AI/ML Engineer and Data Scientist with over nine years delivering production-grade machine learning, predictive modeling, and data pipeline engineering for enterprise clients and scale-ups. I combine classical data science, MLOps, and modern Generative AI to build scalable systems, having reduced deployment cycles from weeks to hours and cut operational costs through analytics and optimization.

I have architected large-scale RAG pipelines, real-time analytics dashboards, and backend microservices supporting millions of automation requests, and led engagements with Fortune 500 clients to translate business requirements into data-driven AI solutions. I prioritize robust experiment tracking, cost-effective LLM operations, and cross-functional collaboration while mentoring teams and driving measurable business impact.
