I’m Aziz Rizvi, a Lead AI/ML Engineer with 12+ years of experience building scalable data platforms, production machine learning systems, and enterprise-grade Generative AI solutions. My work spans LLM orchestration, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), agentic/autonomous workflows, and low-latency inference architectures—helping teams turn structured and unstructured enterprise data into reliable intelligence. I’ve led end-to-end implementations across fintech, healthcare, and sales/customer intelligence, including semantic retrieval with vector databases, fine-tuning pipelines, and streaming AI systems using Kafka/Spark. I’m especially focused on MLOps/LLMOps best practices—evaluation, hallucination reduction, governance, and observability—so AI copilots and automation deliver measurable business impact at enterprise scale.
