I am a Senior Generative AI & Machine Learning Engineer with 11+ years of hands-on experience building and deploying production-grade AI systems across finance, healthcare, retail, insurance, and telecommunications. I specialize in LLM-powered applications, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), model fine-tuning, prompt engineering, and scalable cloud-based ML deployments. I have built enterprise-grade GenAI services using AWS Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, LangChain, and LangGraph, and I’ve designed multi-agent workflows and RAG pipelines for domain-specific knowledge retrieval and document understanding. I enjoy collaborating with data engineers, DevOps, and product teams to deliver compliant, explainable, and observable AI solutions that drive business value in regulated environments. I’m passionate about building robust monitoring, governance, and security into AI systems while continuously improving model quality and reliability.
