Senior Machine Learning Engineer specializing in impactful AI solutions.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with over 10 years of experience in Data Science and Machine Learning. My expertise lies in applying cutting-edge techniques, including Generative and Agentic AI, to build impactful proofs of concept (POCs), minimum viable products (MVPs), and scalable, production-ready ML solutions. I thrive on collaborating closely with stakeholders and data scientists to identify high-impact problems and design tailored, data-driven solutions.
Throughout my career, I have successfully led end-to-end ML projects across various domains, including Natural Language Processing (NLP), Computer Vision, and Audio Processing. My recent role as Lead AI/ML Research Engineer at Remote allowed me to spearhead the development of advanced AI solutions, such as a state-of-the-art Text Analysis Platform and a multimodal RAG-based QA system. These projects not only showcased my ability to innovate but also demonstrated my commitment to delivering measurable business impact through AI.
