What I'm looking for

I seek a senior technical role building secure, production-grade MLOps and data platforms with strong emphasis on automation, compliance, mentorship, and scalable cloud-native architectures.

I am a dynamic MLOps engineer with 11+ years of experience building secure, cloud-native systems across Healthcare, AI, Finance, and Insurance. I deliver production-grade AI/ML solutions with fine-grained access control, encryption, data lineage, observability, and privacy compliance such as GDPR and HIPAA.

I have led teams and technical initiatives—architecting RAG-based LLM solutions, reusable infrastructure modules (Terraform, CDKTF), CI/CD pipelines, and observability stacks across Azure, AWS, and GCP. I drive automation, operational excellence, and security by integrating Kong, Key Vault, OpenTelemetry, Splunk, Prometheus, Grafana, and container orchestration platforms like AKS and OpenShift.

I mentor engineers across SQL, Python (pandas, PySpark), and DevOps practices while enforcing least-privilege access, compliance baselines, and scalable data architectures (Snowflake, Informatica, Databricks). I seek to solve complex, regulated-data challenges with reliable, production-ready ML and data platforms.
