What I'm looking for

I seek roles building production NLP and agentic AI systems with strong engineering teams, focusing on scalable infrastructure, responsible AI, and impactful healthcare or research applications.

I am a Senior AI Engineer focused on NLP, agentic workflows, and responsible AI, with 7+ years building production ML systems across MedTech, quantum AI research, and infrastructure startups.

I lead small engineering teams to design scalable multi-agent assistants, knowledge-graph driven systems, PHI-redaction and clinical extraction pipelines, and auto-scalable AI pipelines that drastically reduced manual review and annotation time.

My background includes applied quantum NLP research, publishing peer-reviewed papers, and shipping toolboxes and training modules across multiple backends; I combine strong Python engineering (8+ years) with practical MLOps, human-in-the-loop design, and a commitment to trustworthy AI.
