I am an AI/ML Engineer with over 10 years of experience designing, building, and optimizing scalable data pipelines and machine learning workflows across cloud and on‑premises environments. I have hands-on expertise deploying ML models for classification, regression, clustering, and recommendation tasks, and I actively apply deep learning, NLP, and MLOps practices to drive enterprise outcomes. My work spans finance and healthcare, where I architect agentic AI systems, RAG pipelines, and multimodal solutions with strong governance, explainability, and secure deployment. I thrive on delivering fast-cycle AI prototypes and transitioning them into robust production platforms on AWS, GCP, Azure, and multi-cloud Kubernetes environments, with end-to-end observability and scalable data architectures.
