I'm looking for a Senior or Lead AI/ML role at a product company where I can own GenAI and applied-ML delivery end to end and work on hard, high-scale problems. I do my best work with real technical ownership, a strong engineering culture, and the freedom to take ideas from prototype to production. Open to remote and hybrid roles, and comfortable collaborating across time zones.

AI/ML Lead | GenAI, Computer Vision & NLP | Building production LLM/VLM & agentic systems at scale
What I'm looking for
AI/ML Lead with 5 years of experience building and shipping production GenAI, Computer Vision, and NLP systems. Currently one of two technical leads driving a 7-engineer AI team, owning end-to-end GenAI capability delivery for enterprise clients.
I've deployed compliance-grade, on-prem Vision-Language Models on constrained GPU hardware (Qwen3-30B on a single A100 via vLLM), built multilingual document-extraction and agentic LLM systems scaled across 8+ clients (95% field-level accuracy, 10K+ documents at ~75% straight-through processing), and re-architected core infrastructure into a single configurable platform on Prefect.
My strength is turning hurried prototypes into reusable, well-architected products. I'm strong across the full ML lifecycle: model development and fine-tuning, LLM and agentic applications (LangGraph, RAG, MCP), MLOps, and cloud/on-prem deployment on AWS and Kubernetes.
