What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles building production ML/LLM systems with strong MLOps practices, cloud-native tooling, cross-functional impact, and opportunities to lead platform maturity and automation.

I am an MLOps/LLMOps specialist with hands-on experience designing, building, and operating end-to-end machine learning pipelines including deployment, inference, monitoring, retraining and drift detection across AWS, GCP, Azure and IBM Watson.

I have implemented model serving, caching, batching, CI/CD, IaC (Terraform), and Kubernetes-based solutions, and delivered enterprise-grade security, governance and compliance for production ML systems while providing technical leadership and cross-functional knowledge transfers.

My background spans senior SRE and cloud consulting roles across global teams, with demonstrable achievements in raising MLOps maturity, architecting solutions with SageMaker/Vertex/ Azure ML, and building REST APIs and automation to accelerate AI adoption.
