What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles building and deploying generative AI/NLP systems in collaborative, product-focused teams where I can lead architecture, mentor engineers, and drive measurable business impact.

I am an AI/ML architect with deep expertise in generative AI, NLP, transformers, and production ML platforms, delivering practical solutions that drive business value. I design and implement training and serving platforms, semantic search engines, RAG pipelines, and document-extraction systems using tools like PyTorch, TensorFlow, LangChain, and vector databases.

Throughout my career I have led end-to-end projects for large enterprises, including building Kubeflow/Kubernetes ML platforms, OCR pipelines, PySpark big data solutions, and customer-facing AI products that improved intent classification and document categorization accuracy. I have applied GANs, VAEs, attention-based models, and fine-tuning techniques (LoRA) to optimize model performance.

I mentor and advise teams and clients on generative AI strategy, model evaluation, and deployment best practices, and I continuously incorporate new research and tooling into production systems to ensure robust, scalable, and explainable AI solutions.
