# IMAMA SHEHZAD on Tal

## Headline

Research Engineer \(Founding Team\) \| Foundation Models, Voice AI & Agentic Systems \| LLM Fine\-Tuning • Synthetic Data • Evaluation & Observability

## About

I build and deploy production\-grade LLM and NLP systems with a strong focus on scalability, efficiency, and real\-world reliability\. At Gnani AI, I’ve worked on multilingual LLMs and conversational AI systems serving millions of users, taking models from research and fine\-tuning through optimized inference and monitoring in production\. My work includes fine\-tuning and optimizing 4B–27B parameter models using PEFT and quantization, deploying high\-throughput inference with vLLM, and building robust ML testing and evaluation frameworks \(A/B testing, regression testing, MLflow\)\. These efforts resulted in \~48% cost reduction and \~20% inference speed improvements in production systems\. I enjoy operating at the intersection of LLM modeling and ML systems — improving latency, cost, and accuracy while making deliberate engineering trade\-offs\. My experience spans LLM fine\-tuning, RAG and search systems, multimodal models, and production MLOps, with a strong bias toward building systems that scale and ship\. Core focus areas: LLM & NLP systems · Fine\-tuning and model optimization · RAG and search · Scalable inference · ML systems engineering
