What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles building production ML/AI systems with strong MLOps, collaborative cross-functional teams, and opportunities to mentor and scale reliable models.

I am a Senior AI/ML engineer with deep experience architecting and deploying production machine learning solutions for large-scale autonomous systems and search infrastructure. I have led end-to-end MLOps, built real-time perception models, generative simulation frameworks, and scalable data pipelines using TensorFlow, PySpark, GCP, and cloud-native tooling.

I have a strong record of cross-functional leadership and technical mentorship, optimizing model performance and reliability through automated experimentation, drift detection, and robust deployment practices. I drive engineering efficiency and transparency by building tooling for annotation, monitoring, and A/B testing while promoting reproducible cloud ML deployments.
