Senior AI engineer building generative AI, agentic RAG, and on-device MLOps for measurable impact.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior AI Engineer with 5+ years of experience across generative AI, agentic systems, NLP, computer vision, and MLOps—delivering production-ready solutions from architecture and data engineering through training, serving, and monitoring. I’ve built and shipped on-device SLMs, LangGraph-based agentic RAG pipelines, diffusion model fine-tuning, sensor fusion systems, and scalable ETL/CI/CD on AWS, with a consistent focus on latency, scalability, and business impact.
In my current role, I replaced Whisper API-based intent inference with a fine-tuned, quantized SLM deployed on-device, cutting latency ~3x and improving intent accuracy beyond 98% while removing external API costs. I also lead end-to-end AI R&D—setting technical roadmaps and latency SLAs, running safe shadow deployments, benchmarking OpenAI/Sarvam APIs against custom models, and mentoring engineers across model development and evaluation workstreams. My consulting and earlier roles add depth in Stable Diffusion LoRA, real-time TTS pipelines, dual-corpus RAG support agents, and robust MLOps fundamentals (CI/CD, Docker, Airflow, MLflow, TorchServe) that keep systems reliable in production.

AI/ML Engineer
Lenskart
Feb 2026 - Present (4 months)
Replaced Whisper API intent inference with a fine-tuned, quantized on-device SLM, cutting latency from 600–700ms to 200–300ms (~3x) and improving intent classification accuracy to 98%+ while removing external API costs and round-trip dependencies. Built the AWS EC2 + MLflow training/serving pipeline with shadow deployments and led voice-intelligence R&D through roadmap, latency SLAs, and API vs on
Technical Consultant
Dialog Matrix
Aug 2025 - Jan 2026 (5 months)
Fine-tuned Stable Diffusion with LoRA for few-shot visual concept learning, reducing required training samples from thousands to under 20 while preserving generation quality. Built an agentic Pipecat TTS pipeline with FastAPI microservices and a dual-corpus LangGraph RAG support system (ChromaDB) achieving a RAGAS score of 0.85 and ~40% ticket deflection rate.
Data Scientist
1&1 Telecommunication SE
Sep 2025 - Oct 2025 (1 month)
Scraped and analyzed Kubernetes pod performance metrics and integrated KPIs into Grafana dashboards for real-time visibility into model performance, data drift, and infrastructure health. Enhanced fraud-login detection ML pipelines using XGBoost, improving precision and recall on production traffic.
Software Developer - AI MLOps
Bertrandt GmbH
Jul 2022 - Aug 2025 (3 years 1 month)
Optimized 5+ AWS ETL workflows using Glue, PySpark, and SQL to produce analytics-ready datasets at scale. Automated CI/CD with GitHub Actions and Jenkins (80% build/test coverage) and improved development efficiency by 25%, implementing MLOps with Docker testing, Airflow training pipelines, TorchServe serving, and systematic model validation.
Software Developer - DL/NLP
STTech GmbH
Dec 2020 - Jun 2022 (1 year 6 months)
Researched and implemented CNN and Transformer architectures for out-of-distribution detection in autonomous-driving datasets using PyTorch, contributing to a peer-reviewed publication on perception reliability. Built a BERT/RoBERTa NER pipeline improving entity extraction accuracy by 28%, and implemented 2D sensor fusion (Camera/LiDAR/Radar) using a Python Kalman filter with path planning in CARL
Computer Vision Intern
AGT Group (R&D) GmbH
Apr 2019 - Sep 2019 (5 months)
Accelerated pose tracking by 40% using GPU-optimized optical flow and automated training/evaluation pipelines, reducing iteration cycles by 35%. Built stereo and IP camera calibration setups using OpenCV.
