Hi, I’m Jayasri Sanka, a Generative AI Engineer with 10+ years of experience delivering AI/ML, data science, and full-stack solutions across healthcare, retail, finance, and energy domains. I specialize in large language models, multimodal AI, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) for enterprise-scale deployments. I’m proficient in Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face Transformers, LangChain, and LlamaIndex, enabling rapid prototyping and scalable rollouts. I design real-time ML pipelines and optimize model alignment for compliance-driven, production-grade environments. I’ve led MLOps across AWS, Azure, and GCP, built observability dashboards, and driven measurable business impact—from fraud reduction to improved personalization and faster compliance reviews. I enjoy mentoring teammates, exploring long-context transformers and agent-based AI, and delivering secure multi-tenant GenAI services that respect governance and data privacy.
