What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role building production-grade ML systems with strong MLOps, explainability, and cross-functional collaboration in regulated domains (healthcare/finance), where I can mentor teams and drive measurable business impact.

I am an AI/ML engineer and data scientist with over nine years building scalable machine learning solutions across fintech, healthcare, and logistics. I design predictive models and deep learning architectures, lead MLOps implementation with AWS SageMaker, MLflow and Airflow, and translate data into measurable business outcomes—reducing inventory stockouts 22% and improving fraud capture by 45%.

I have led teams of 6+ engineers and scientists, delivered clinical-grade imaging models (92% sensitivity) and HIPAA-compliant inference pipelines, and guided FDA-aligned validation and regulatory submissions. I focus on reproducible experimentation, low-latency model serving, explainability (SHAP/LIME), and mentoring cross-functional teams to operationalize impactful AI systems.
