About
I am a Generative AI Engineer / Machine Learning Engineer with 10+ years of experience building production-grade AI solutions across banking, healthcare, retail, and transportation. I specialize in Generative AI, Large Language Models (LLMs), and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), delivering grounded, auditable AI systems for regulated enterprise environments. I have hands-on experience with Azure OpenAI and have built RAG pipelines using Azure AI Search, FAISS, and Elasticsearch for document intelligence and policy reasoning.
I bring strong ML Engineering expertise in feature engineering, time-series forecasting, anomaly detection, and predictive modeling, with proficiency in Python ecosystems such as Scikit-learn, XGBoost, LightGBM, ARIMA, and LSTM. I have delivered end-to-end ML and GenAI pipelines with data ingestion, model training, deployment, and monitoring in production. My background spans multi-cloud platforms (Azure primary, with AWS and GCP for ML/GenAI), Conversational AI using Vertex AI, Dialogflow, and CCAI, and data engineering with Spark, Kafka, and streaming. I build API-driven AI services with FastAPI/Flask, containerized with Docker and AKS, and I apply MLOps/GenAIOps practices using MLflow and CI/CD to ensure scalable, auditable deployments.
