What I'm looking for

I'm open to remote roles where I can build and productionize AI systems, including LLM applications, RAG, multimodal models, agentic workflows, and scalable ML infrastructure.

I've built production AI systems at Innova Inc, including a high-volume OCR pipeline that cut document processing time by 90% and a dataset-labeling pipeline that reduced manual effort fivefold.

For bank IVR products, I've prototyped LLM, TTS, and STT solutions that demonstrated the potential to generate 50% more qualified leads. I also fine-tuned a sub-1B parameter LLM to match a larger model's intent-classification F1 while reducing inference cost and latency.

At Epoch8, I engineered an enterprise RAG system across three knowledge bases, improving query response time by 30% through caching and optimization. I productionized ML services with Docker, Kubernetes, serverless deployment, and Langfuse monitoring.

Earlier, I scaled a virtual-assistant platform at AnyAgent AI Inc and built NLP content filtering that reduced inappropriate responses by 99.9%. My embedded software background includes Embedded Linux, GPS, MCU integration, and AUTOSAR modules for Ford's eCall system.
