What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build production LLM-powered applications and scalable data pipelines, combining real-time/batch workflows with analytics. I want to partner cross-functionally, mentor others, and deliver measurable business impact.

I’m an AI/ML Engineer with 3+ years of professional experience, including 2.5+ years building production AI and data-driven systems in enterprise environments. I specialize in developing LLM-powered applications, scalable data pipelines, and intelligent analytics solutions handling 100M+ records.

I design real-time and batch data workflows, including event-driven systems and automated reporting pipelines. I’ve delivered solutions that improve data transformation at scale, while translating business requirements into production-ready AI and data engineering outcomes.

My technical strength spans Python, SQL, PySpark, and AWS, with machine learning development using scikit-learn and deep learning approaches. I also build LLM applications using prompt engineering, RAG, and natural language processing, integrating multiple LLM APIs for reliable, high-volume execution.

I’m collaborative and hands-on—I’ve mentored interns, reviewed deliverables, and guided project execution across teams. Whether it’s interactive Power BI dashboards or automated reporting, I focus on turning complex datasets into actionable insights that support business decision-making.
