I’m an AI/ML Engineer with 5+ years of experience building production-ready machine learning and Generative AI systems, including LLM applications, RAG pipelines, recommendation models, and fraud detection. I enjoy taking models from experimentation to reliable deployment—focusing on measurable improvements in accuracy, retrieval quality, and end-to-end workflow efficiency. In my recent work, I’ve designed enterprise solutions that leverage Azure OpenAI and retrieval-augmented generation with hybrid retrieval and reranking, and I’ve implemented evaluation frameworks to assess groundedness, faithfulness, relevance, hallucinations, and latency. I also optimize inference performance through batching, caching, quantization, and throughput tuning, while building scalable pipelines and APIs with strong MLOps practices for consistent releases.
