What I'm looking for

I seek roles building production-ready generative AI systems with emphasis on model optimization, low-latency deployment, and cross-modal research-to-production impact in collaborative, engineering-driven teams.

I am an applied AI researcher and engineer focused on building production-ready generative AI systems, retrieval-augmented pipelines, and multimedia cloning solutions. I have developed Perplexity-style retrieval systems, audio cloning with real-time streaming and interruption handling, and optimized video cloning inference for faster performance.

I bring hands-on experience from on-site and remote roles, national award-winning projects in smart energy forecasting, and contributions to LLM-based recommender and debugging assistants. I prioritize robust engineering, model optimization, and delivering measurable accuracy and latency improvements for real-world deployments.
