What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on roles building production NLP and multimodal AI systems, in collaborative teams that value innovation, deployment at scale, and clear impact.

I am a machine learning and robotics engineer with hands-on experience building NLP, multimodal, and production-ready AI systems across startups and enterprise environments.

At Enzyme I led conversational assistant and RAG projects, worked on multimodal, computer vision and audio processing initiatives, and served as the lead technical expert in NLP and ML, translating complex concepts into actionable stakeholder insights.

I founded AI startup prototypes (Galeno AI, SyTaCa) focused on healthcare decision support and medical QA using CNNs, BERT and TensorFlow, deployed scalable solutions on AWS, and have strong analytics, BI and cloud experience from prior roles.
