Work Experience

SENIOR MACHINE LEARNING ENGINEER at GREENPEARLS

January 1, 2020 - Present

Built a prediction model using XGBoost and PyTorch, analyzing 2M+ records to reduce hospital readmission rates. Automated feature engineering pipelines with Apache Spark, cutting preprocessing time for real-time inference workflows. Deployed a BERT-based NLP system to classify clinical notes, achieving 94% F1-score and reducing manual chart reviews by 70% for medical staff. Optimized AWS SageMaker inference costs using model pruning and ONNX runtime for high-volume prediction APIs. Led A/B testing framework development, enabling data scientists to validate 12+ models in production and iterate 3x faster. Mentored 4 junior engineers on MLOps best practices (CI/CD, model monitoring), slashing deployment failures.

MACHINE LEARNING ENGINEER at ALTITUDETECH

December 31, 2020 - July 21, 2025

Designed a detection system using anomaly detection (Isolation Forest) and graph networks, flagging numerous suspicious transactions with 98% precision. Scaled credit risk models using TensorFlow and H2O.ai, processing 10TB of transactional data to reduce default prediction errors. Containerized ML workflows with Docker and Kubernetes, reducing model deployment time from 2 weeks to 3 days for cross-functional teams. Built a real-time recommendation engine (collaborative filtering) boosting user engagement by 25% for a fintech app. Automated data drift detection using Evidently AI, improving model retraining efficiency and maintaining 90%+ accuracy post-deployment. Collaborated with DevOps to migrate ML pipelines to Azure ML, cutting cloud costs while improving scalability.

DATA SCIENTIST at OSCAR HEALTH
