What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own vision/robotics ML end to end, turn research into reliable production platforms, and partner with product and business to define technical direction while mentoring teams.

I’m a Senior Machine Learning Engineer focused on vision and robotics, with strong solution architecture and execution across complex AI systems. I take system-level ownership of ML pipelines and turn vision-action models into reliable production platforms.

At Ocado, I’ve helped execute robotic arm orders at scale for major online grocery retailers. I empower teams to productionize complex ML, while facilitating alignment between engineering decisions, product goals, and business constraints.

As a Founding ML & MLOps Engineer at Efemarai, I architected an end-to-end ML CI/CD platform. I defined standards for model evaluation, retraining, and robustness testing, bringing research from vision, language models, and multimodal work into production.

I’ve also led architecture and infrastructure redesign as a TeamLead, including hiring, mentoring, planning, and performance management—while improving cost and enabling safe, actionable learning from failure. Earlier roles spanned large-scale data migrations, ML systems, automation testing infrastructure, and founding a learning system that grew to 150,000+ learners.
