What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles building production ML and MLOps platforms using cloud-native tools, focusing on scalable GenAI, real-time systems, and cross-functional impact.

I am a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with extensive experience building production ML systems, MLOps platforms, and GenAI solutions that boost ecommerce GMV, automate compliance, and enrich product catalogs. I have led end-to-end projects across cloud environments, delivering real-time recommendation engines, LLM platforms, and OCR/computer-vision pipelines for enterprise clients.

My work spans architecture, API development, model deployment, and platform auditing, with demonstrated impact in migrating databases for scalability, creating A/B testing frameworks, and improving product offerings through innovative ML features. I bring a practical, results-oriented approach and a track record of cross-border deployments and technical leadership.
