I'm a passionate AI/ML engineer with a track record of shipping production-grade AI agents and scalable backend systems. I design end-to-end ML pipelines, RAG pipelines, and intelligent workflow automation that reduce manual work and accelerate growth across healthcare and tech environments. I enjoy collaborating with business stakeholders to translate needs into robust, observable AI solutions, deploying in cloud environments (AWS and GCP), and maintaining secure, auditable ML platforms with CI/CD. I love shipping reliable AI at scale and mentoring teams to reach new heights.…I'm a passionate AI/ML engineer with a track record of shipping production-grade AI agents and scalable backend systems.
