What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth opportunities in AI and machine learning.

I am a dedicated Machine Learning Engineer with over 8 years of experience in fintech, trading, blockchain, web3, and e-commerce. My expertise lies in developing LLM-based pipelines, RAG, agentic workflows, and PEFT techniques like QLoRA. I have a proven track record of building scalable, production-grade MLOps pipelines using AWS, which has significantly enhanced model performance, deployment, and monitoring.

Throughout my career, I have successfully implemented the Model Context Protocol (MCP) infrastructure, enabling dynamic, real-time context sharing between models. This has led to more efficient and adaptive AI-driven solutions. My work has included designing robust MLOps pipelines, enhancing AI chatbot performance through prompt engineering, and developing ETL data pipelines for real-time analysis. I am passionate about leveraging technology to drive innovation and improve user experiences.
