Machine Learning Engineer specializing in decentralized AI development.
What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned Machine Learning Engineer with extensive experience in developing and deploying advanced AI solutions. Currently, I lead the architecture and deployment of the MedLLAMA application at Intetics, where I successfully improved model accuracy by 20% through innovative use of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines. My expertise spans a wide range of technologies, including cloud platforms like GCP and AWS, and I have a proven track record of optimizing data processing workflows, achieving significant reductions in processing time and enhancing system responsiveness.
Throughout my career, I have spearheaded numerous projects that leverage cutting-edge machine learning techniques, such as anomaly detection systems for cybersecurity and scalable Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems. My work at Sigma AI and Kensho Technologies has not only improved model performance but also contributed to substantial revenue growth and operational efficiency. I am passionate about mentoring junior engineers and fostering a collaborative environment that drives innovation and excellence in AI development.
