Senior Machine Learning Engineer specializing in advanced data solutions.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with a robust background in developing advanced search engine tools and enhancing model performance through prompt engineering and fine-tuning. My experience includes utilizing state-of-the-art models to extract information from complex financial documents, employing techniques such as Retrieval Augmented Generation and ReAct for improved data handling.
Previously, I worked as a Data Scientist where I maximized model accuracy through statistical analysis and developed a machine learning deployment pipeline that automated data preprocessing and optimized real-time predictions. My academic background includes a Master of Science in Data Science, where I was honored with the Fulbright Foreign Student Scholarship Grant, further solidifying my commitment to excellence in the field.
