What I'm looking for

I seek senior MLOps/GenAI roles building cloud-native, production-grade AI systems, leading cross-functional teams, with emphasis on scalability, compliance, and measurable business impact.

I am an AI/ML and DevOps engineer with 10+ years of IT experience and 4+ years focused on MLOps and Generative AI across AWS, Azure, and GCP. I design and deliver enterprise-grade, secure, and scalable AI solutions spanning the full ML lifecycle.

I build end-to-end ML pipelines and GenAI systems using tools such as Amazon SageMaker, Azure ML, Vertex AI, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, LangChain, AutoGen, and Hugging Face. My work has reduced operational downtimes, improved ETL latency and accuracy by 30%, automated ticket classification, and achieved high forecasting accuracy using robust feature engineering and model governance.

I lead cross-functional teams to integrate AI into production, emphasizing compliance (HIPAA, GDPR, SOC 2), explainability (SHAP, LIME), and cost-optimized cloud architectures. I translate complex business needs into actionable AI strategies and reusable MLOps platforms that deliver measurable ROI.
