What I'm looking for

I seek roles building production-scale generative AI and ML systems with strong MLOps practices, collaborative teams, and opportunities to mentor and drive impact.

I am a Senior AI/ML Engineer with eight years of experience building end-to-end, scalable machine learning systems, specializing in generative AI, deep learning, and large-scale data pipelines. I focus on delivering production-ready models and services, leveraging PyTorch, TensorFlow, Databricks, Spark, and cloud platforms to drive measurable business outcomes.

Throughout my career I have designed and deployed Generative AI platforms, unified data access layers with PySpark and Spark SQL, and implemented MLOps practices on Google Cloud Platform and Databricks. I have led cross-functional teams, mentored engineers, and optimized solutions for cost, performance, and reliability while supporting enterprise clients.

My projects include real-time feature engineering and model serving, high-throughput embedding pipelines for semantic search, and multiple computer vision and NLP systems deployed as microservices. I bring a pragmatic, results-driven approach and a commitment to technical excellence and continuous improvement in AI/ML delivery.
