Senior Machine Learning Engineer specializing in production Generative AI systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with 10+ years building production AI systems across generative AI, deep learning, computer vision, and edge inference. I own high-ambiguity problems end to end, and I’m known for raising engineering standards across teams by building reliable systems, not just models.
I’ve built end-to-end GenAI platforms spanning the full stack—RAG architecture, agentic workflows, SLM/LLM fine-tuning, and LLMOps observability. At Adobe, I architected an agentic AI platform using a LangGraph-based orchestration engine with strict schema-validated function calling and policy guardrails, deployed a multi-model inference stack, and established LangSmith tracing to cut agent failure root-cause analysis time from hours to minutes. Earlier roles strengthened my production instincts: I built prediction and forecasting systems at Peloton (Temporal Fusion Transformer, LSTM/GRU/XGBoost ensembles), developed real-time 3D pose estimation pipelines (PyTorch, quantization, pruning, TensorRT), and delivered edge-optimized vision models (TensorFlow to TensorFlow Lite, INT8 quantization) that met tight latency and accuracy constraints.
Experience
Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
Architected Adobe’s internal agentic AI platform with LangGraph-based orchestration, dynamic model routing, and schema-validated tool calling with policy guardrails. Built production RAG and an NL→SQL SLM fine-tuning workflow using QLoRA/LoRA with LLM evaluation and LLMOps observability in LangSmith.
Built a behavioral analytics platform for churn and workout-frequency prediction, including a Temporal Fusion Transformer and ensemble forecasting models. Developed a multi-turn LLM fitness coaching assistant with RAG grounding and production ML pipelines for evaluation, A/B testing, and drift monitoring.
Built Peloton Guide’s real-time 3D body pose estimation pipeline using PyTorch keypoint lifting from 2D RGB. Developed temporal pose scoring with GRU models and optimized the inference stack using INT8 quantization, pruning, and TensorRT for real-time performance.
Computer Vision Scientist
Affectiva
Apr 2019 - Jun 2020 (1 year 2 months)
Ported face detection and facial landmark models from TensorFlow to TensorFlow Lite for automotive SoCs, optimizing for size and latency while maintaining accuracy. Developed child presence and forgotten object detection models with hard real-time constraints using hardware-in-the-loop benchmarking.
Deep Learning Engineer
Neurala
Feb 2016 - Apr 2019 (3 years 2 months)
Built an AI-assisted video annotation module using model-in-the-loop active learning in Brain Builder to reduce annotation effort and labeled data needs. Developed 3D vision and motion-capture systems, exporting optimized inference via ONNX/TensorRT for deployment on Intel Movidius NCS and Qualcomm 845.
