What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can own end-to-end ML systems—especially NLP/LLM productionization, MLOps, and model reliability—within collaborative teams that value engineering rigor and measurable impact.

I am a Senior AI/ML Engineer with 6+ years delivering machine learning systems from concept to production, focusing on NLP/LLM and computer vision when required. I take ownership across data pipelines, feature engineering, model training, deployment, and monitoring to ship reliable services.

I have built solutions for prediction, ranking, forecasting, anomaly detection, and automation, and I specialize in retrieval-augmented generation, semantic search, embeddings, and LLM evaluation to reduce hallucinations and improve trustworthiness.

I partner closely with product, data engineering, and backend teams to define requirements, standardize training and evaluation workflows, and maintain production quality through experiment tracking, model versioning, CI/CD, monitoring, and incident practices.
