Senior ML engineer specializing in NLP, LLMs, computer vision, and production ML systems.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior AI/ML Engineer with 8+ years delivering machine learning systems from concept to production, with deep expertise in Python, SQL, MLOps, and model lifecycle management. I design and deploy robust solutions across prediction, ranking, forecasting, anomaly detection, NLP/LLM and computer vision pipelines.
At Ginkgo Bioworks I led healthcare-oriented ML capabilities, built NLP and RAG-based retrieval systems, standardized training and evaluation workflows, and deployed real-time inference services using FastAPI, Docker, and Kubernetes. Previously I developed production ML services, batch and online scoring pipelines, feature engineering modules, and monitoring/alerting practices at 1Hippo Holdings and Vince Holding.
I emphasize collaboration with product, data engineering, and backend teams to define requirements, ensure data quality, and maintain production reliability. I mentor peers through design reviews and documentation and focus on reproducibility, observability, and automation to reduce operational risk and accelerate model-driven outcomes.
