@neilalex
Senior AI/ML engineer building production-grade multimodal ML systems across healthcare, RAG, and enterprise analytics.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior AI/ML & Full-Stack Engineer with 11 years of experience, bridging advanced machine learning development, clinical simulation modeling, and enterprise data architecture. I translate complex scientific and business requirements into production systems spanning medical device computer vision, large-scale RAG pipelines, and financial analytics.
I’ve led cross-functional engineering efforts to transfer experimental computer vision models into production environments, including real-time surgical tracking work and rigorous precision/recall evaluation frameworks. I also build agentic retrieval and archival search platforms using FAISS-based vector indexing and FastAPI endpoint layers to maximize relevance and factual grounding.
Across research and engineering, I design end-to-end ML data ingestion, OCR-to-metadata pipelines, and digital-twin reinforcement learning simulation workflows for clinical collaborators. I’m equally comfortable partnering with academic and institutional stakeholders and deploying across both cloud and on-premise environments.
