About

I'm a Machine Learning Engineer specializing in Generative AI, Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), AI Agents, and production Machine Learning systems. I build end-to-end AI solutions—from data preparation and model development to deployment, evaluation, monitoring, and optimization. My experience includes designing production-grade LLM applications, retrieval pipelines, agentic workflows, intelligent automation systems, and scalable ML infrastructure that power real-world products. My core expertise includes: • Machine Learning & Deep Learning • Generative AI & LLM Applications • Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) • AI Agents & Agentic Workflows • Prompt Engineering & Fine-Tuning • Model Evaluation & Experimentation • MLOps & Production ML • NLP & Information Retrieval • Python Development • API Development & Backend Systems I enjoy solving complex, ambiguous problems where AI can create measurable business impact. I work across the entire ML lifecycle—data pipelines, feature engineering, model training, inference optimization, evaluation frameworks, deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement. I value writing reliable, maintainable systems that scale from prototype to production. I thrive in fast-paced engineering environments, collaborating with cross-functional teams to transform business requirements into production-ready AI solutions. I'm particularly interested in building scalable AI platforms, enterprise LLM applications, intelligent automation, and next-generation AI products. I'm currently open to opportunities as a Machine Learning Engineer, Generative AI Engineer, AI Engineer, Applied Scientist, or LLM Engineer, where I can contribute to designing, building, and deploying impactful AI systems at scale.
