@sonoiogbuefi
AI Engineer and full-stack developer specializing in production-grade agentic LLM systems and scalable web platforms.
What I'm looking for
AI/ML engineer with 10+ years of experience building production systems with Python, C++, Scala, TensorFlow/Keras, Caffe, scikit-learn, XGBoost, and Spark MLlib. Recent work has focused on LLM applications using LangGraph, RAG, tool calling, evaluations, and guardrails for high-stakes financial workflows. Strong in backend and platform engineering with FastAPI, Redis, RabbitMQ, Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS, with a practical focus on making models reliable, observable, and scalable in production. Experienced in taking AI products from early experimentation through deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
Experience
Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
Built an auditable, LLM-assisted crypto trading and risk platform using LangGraph, RAG, Redis, and unified REST/WebSocket integrations across multiple exchanges. Implemented deterministic pre-trade controls, resilient asynchronous execution, and controlled testing workflows to support safe institutional trading.
Applied AI Engineer
Vellum
Jun 2023 - May 2024 (11 months)
Built scalable backend and workflow infrastructure for developing, evaluating, and deploying LLM applications such as customer-support assistants, document Q&A systems, and extraction workflows. Implemented RAG, prompt orchestration, evaluation, versioned deployment, and production monitoring using Python, FastAPI, RabbitMQ, Redis, and MySQL.
Machine Learning Engineer
Domino Data Lab
Aug 2020 - May 2023 (2 years 9 months)
Built production-grade anomaly-detection and risk-prediction systems using Python, TensorFlow/Keras, scikit-learn, and XGBoost, delivering reproducible training and batch/real-time inference with FastAPI. Productionized and monitored models using Domino, Docker, Kubernetes, Git, and CI/CD, supporting scalable, reliable deployment and drift detection.
Built scalable feature-engineering, model-training, and batch-inference pipelines using PySpark, Scala, Spark SQL, and MLlib. Optimized distributed workloads and productionized models through Databricks notebooks, scheduled jobs, validation checks, and retraining workflows.
Developed Caffe-based face detection and image classification models using Python, then integrated and optimized them for real-time Snapdragon camera pipelines with C++, OpenCV, ARM NEON, and Hexagon DSP/HVX.
