What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable document-intelligence and RAG systems where I can apply model evaluation, end-to-end pipeline design, and automation to drive measurable business impact.

I am an AI/ML and document-intelligence strategist focused on building production-ready retrieval and OCR pipelines for large, multi-document workloads. I combine hands-on model evaluation with practical system design to deliver robust document parsing, classification, and search solutions.

In recent roles I architected modular RAG pipelines using LlamaIndex, evaluated open-source LLMs such as Mistral and Phi-2, and benchmarked OCR systems across 200+ page mortgage blobs to optimize extraction precision and retrieval quality.

I also have applied analytics and operational strategy experience at scale, turning employee feedback and operational datasets into insight-driven reports and executive-ready presentations, while improving report turnaround through automation.

My background includes cybersecurity program support, workflow automation, and building dashboards and financial insights for logistics operations. I bring a pragmatic, results-oriented approach and a commitment to measurable performance improvements.
