AI/ML engineer building RAG and LLMOps systems that cut cost, latency, and improve quality.
What I'm looking for
I’m an AI/ML Engineer focused on turning LLM capabilities into production-ready systems. I design end-to-end pipelines—from data ingestion and embeddings to retrieval and prompt orchestration—so teams can ship reliable AI features fast.
At PROPIO LANGUAGE SERVICES (FORMERLY UNITED LANGUAGE GROUP), I designed and developed a Multi-Tenant RAG-based APE system using client-specific translation memory, vector search, and Azure OpenAI. I built and deployed an LLMOps pipeline that improved efficiency by ~60% and reduced latency by ~35%, while lowering translation costs by ~40–50% and boosting translation quality (BLEU ↑ ~20%, TER ↓ ~25%).
Earlier, as a Data Scientist, I developed a Generative AI (RAG-based) solution to generate questions for an Assessment Management System. Using the LangChain framework and OpenAI ChatGPT, I helped reduce question creation time by 50%, improving teacher efficiency and optimizing the assessment preparation workflow.
I’ve also worked on NLP-driven business impact, building CRM/NLP models that improved lead conversion and saved a bank $1,000K in marketing costs. In addition, I served as Program Executive, where I supported building a Product Recommendation Engine using collaborative filtering, driving a 20% increase in student program enrollment and improving user engagement.
