What I'm looking for

I seek senior ML roles where I can lead production ML/NLP projects, build MLOps platforms, and deliver measurable business impact in collaborative, growth-focused teams.

I am a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with over 10 years of experience designing and deploying enterprise-grade AI and ML systems across NLP, computer vision, LLMs, and time-series forecasting. I build production-ready pipelines with MLOps, model governance, and cloud-native architectures, leveraging tools such as MLflow, Kubernetes, Docker, and Vertex AI to deliver measurable ROI and operational efficiency.

I've led projects that include document intelligence, GPT-4 powered chatbots with RAG and FAISS, large-scale inference with RayServe, and computer vision solutions using YOLOv8 and TensorRT, consistently reducing manual effort, speeding deployments, and saving substantial costs for business stakeholders.
