What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can build and deploy production AI/ML products, work cross-functionally on generative CV systems, and drive measurable improvements in quality and cost.

I am a Machine Learning Engineer with over 5 years of experience translating cutting-edge research into production-ready AI products.

I design and deploy end-to-end ML pipelines across generative AI, computer vision, and MLOps, delivering solutions like background removal and virtual try-on systems that reduced costs and improved quality metrics.

My work spans model development, training at scale, and automated deployment—using frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorRT, HF-Transformers, and LangChain—while applying domain-specific losses and optimizers to boost real-world performance.

I strive to build reliable, efficient AI services that solve customer problems, validated by measurable outcomes like reduced claims, higher approval rates, and improved team efficiency.
