What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can architect scalable AI/ML systems, lead cross-functional teams, modernize platforms, and drive measurable business impact in a collaborative, innovation-focused environment.

I am a Principal Engineer with 10 years of experience designing AI/ML architectures, cloud-native platforms, and enterprise integrations across manufacturing, FinTech, and consumer electronics. I build scalable Agentic AI workflows, optimize AWS infrastructures, and modernize legacy systems to improve reliability, reduce costs, and accelerate delivery.

I lead cross-functional teams to deliver production-grade ML solutions, authored the Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server for real-time anomaly detection, and drove migrations from legacy stacks to microservices and event-driven architectures. I prioritize practical innovation, operational excellence, and clear stakeholder collaboration to translate ML research into robust products.
