What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on AI/ML role building production-grade models and scalable systems, with collaborative teams, clear ownership, and opportunities to work on RAG, CV, and generative AI.

I am a Python and AI engineer with 3+ years of hands-on experience developing scalable, production-ready machine learning and backend systems using FastAPI, LangChain, and modern ML frameworks.

I have led end-to-end projects including RAG chatbots, OCR/table extraction pipelines, computer vision modules, and multimodal analysis systems—designing architectures, optimizing inference, and integrating vector DBs and cloud deployments.

I collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, focus on clean maintainable code, and continuously improve systems for low-latency, high-accuracy results.
