What I'm looking for

I'm open to AI Engineer, Applied AI, LLM Engineer, AI Solutions Engineer, Forward Deployed Engineer, and Machine Learning Engineer roles, remote or contract.

At Turing, I productionized fine-tuned LLMs behind FastAPI, deployed on Kubernetes with GPU autoscaling, and achieved 180ms p95 latency at 300+ RPS. I also engineered data curation and quality pipelines for SFT, instruction tuning, and RLHF.

At Zazmic Inc., I designed production RAG systems and shipped multi-agent workflows that automated data QA and report generation. I turn generative AI models into products that hold up in production, and I enjoy figuring out when an LLM is the right tool—and being direct when it isn't.
