Hi, I’m Eugene Harris, a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with 12+ years of experience spanning backend engineering, financial SaaS systems, and production-grade AI platforms. I’ve delivered supervised models, real-time inference pipelines, and scalable ML workflows across healthcare and fintech domains.
I enjoy translating complex business processes into reliable AI solutions, architecting cloud-native architectures on AWS, and ensuring HIPAA-compliant, auditable deployments. I also explore LLM-powered tools to augment clinical and operational decision-making while maintaining safety and governance.
