@matthewlee1
Senior machine learning engineer building production AI systems and scalable MLOps on cloud infrastructure.
What I'm looking for
I’m a senior machine learning engineer who builds production AI systems and scalable MLOps pipelines using Python, FastAPI, Databricks, and AWS. I design data and model pipelines, implement RAG and LLM-driven solutions, and automate deployments with Terraform and GitHub Actions to deliver reliable, low-latency services.
My work includes real-time voice assistants, insurance carrier matching, technician dispatch recommendation engines, and enterprise semantic search—highlighted by deployments using MLflow, SageMaker, EKS, and Databricks. I combine hands-on ML engineering with a background in process engineering to optimize systems, observability, and operational metrics.
