What I'm looking for

I seek a role building production ML and computer vision systems at scale, with collaborative cross-functional teams, strong reliability practices, and opportunities to mentor and drive impact.

I am an AI Engineer with hands-on experience designing and deploying production ML infrastructure for high-scale e-commerce and logistics systems, focusing on ETA prediction, routing, and automation. I build low-latency microservices, reliable data pipelines, and monitoring to ensure resilient model performance.

At DoorDash I improved ETA accuracy and reduced failed deliveries through feature engineering, retraining pipelines, and cross-functional collaboration; at Indeed I scaled partner integrations, improved ingestion reliability, and reduced incident resolution time through observability and robust sync services.

I hold a Bachelor's in Computer Science with coursework in algorithms, data science, and systems, and I mentor engineers while driving documentation and reliability initiatives that accelerate onboarding and production stability.
