What I'm looking for

I seek roles building production ML/LLM systems in product-focused teams, with ownership of model design, deployment, and measurable user impact.

I am a Senior AI Engineer with deep experience building production-grade ML systems, LLM pipelines, and recommender platforms for high-concurrency consumer products. I design modular multi-agent LLM architectures, deterministic evaluation frameworks, and scalable MLOps to deliver reliable, insight-driven applications.

At Info Edge I led ML for an Ed-Tech vertical, productionized neural learning-to-rank models, deployed RAG-based personalized chatbots, and built recommender systems that meaningfully increased CTR and conversions. I have improved model performance and user engagement through transformer-based solutions, localization (Hinglish) tools, and predictive modelling.

I also bring startup and research experience across healthcare imaging and adversarially robust vision, with a record of publications and hands-on MLOps using Docker, Kubernetes, MLflow, and in-house serving stacks to achieve high uptime and reduced latency.
