What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning in AI and machine learning.

I am a passionate and experienced senior machine learning engineer with over 14 years of hands-on work building and deploying scalable AI/ML solutions across cloud-native platforms. My background spans natural language processing, computer vision, deep learning, and recommendation systems, with proven success across industries like tech, finance, real estate, and enterprise automation. I specialize in building end-to-end ML pipelines using tools like TensorFlow, PyTorch, Docker, Kubernetes, and MLflow, with real-world deployments on AWS, GCP, and Azure.

I thrive in cross-functional environments, collaborating closely with product, DevOps, and data engineering teams. I am also deeply committed to mentoring, sharing knowledge, and helping organizations adopt machine learning in impactful, sustainable ways. My recent role at Databricks involved designing and deploying an NLP-driven document intelligence platform, where I integrated BERT/ROBERTA models with FastAPI and AWS Lambda to serve real-time inference at scale.
