What I'm looking for

I seek remote AI/ML roles building production LLM/RAG systems, document intelligence, and computer-vision features with collaborative, product-focused teams.

I am a Junior AI Engineer focused on building production-grade intelligent systems, including RAG pipelines, document intelligence workflows, and domain-specific LLM applications. I bring hands-on experience integrating LLMs into web platforms and engineering end-to-end ML solutions.

At Mergestack I implemented an AI chatbot on a live WordPress travel site using LangChain and Pinecone, designed a scalable RAG inference service with FastAPI, and built an OCR-based document extraction system that normalizes outputs into structured JSON.

As a freelance AI and full-stack developer I delivered client solutions using React, Node.js, Express, and MongoDB, and performed data preprocessing, model training, evaluation, and deployment supported by Python data analysis and visualization.

I seek remote AI/ML roles where I can apply practical experience with LangChain, Pinecone, FastAPI, Chainlit, OCR, and computer vision to build reliable, user-facing intelligent products and improve model behavior and grounding in production environments.
