VAIBHAV SHELAR
@vaibhavshelar
Machine Learning Engineer building production AI systems—LLMs, RAG, and agents—with deep post-training focus.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Machine Learning Engineer focused on the training side—turning research-grade ideas into production AI systems. I’ve designed agentic AI systems for complex reasoning and multi-step execution using LangChain, CrewAI, and Agno, built scalable RAG pipelines with vector search and semantic embeddings, and led end-to-end deployment across AWS and GCP using serverless architectures (Lambda, API Gateway, Step Functions) and managed AI platforms like Bedrock, Vertex AI, and SageMaker.
I also optimize inference for real-world constraints by applying quantization and containerized deployments with Docker, then fine-tune and align multimodal models. I’ve fine-tuned Qwen2-VL-2B vision-language models with MS Swift and PEFT, built RLHF pipelines, and worked on iterative post-training loops for tasks like extracting text from handwritten documents—validating that each new checkpoint truly improves performance. I enjoy fixing “messy” live systems—reducing latency, handling edge cases, and improving reliability—without rebuilding everything from scratch.
