Work Experience

Senior AI/ML Engineer at MantraCare
June 1, 2022 - October 1, 2025
Led the end-to-end design and deployment of MantraCare’s Unified AI Care Personalization Engine, integrating multimodal data (therapy transcripts, MSK assessments, chronic-care logs, and wearable metrics) into a hierarchical reasoning architecture with LangChain, LangGraph, and LlamaIndex. Architected and productionized a multilingual Hybrid RAG platform for mental-health triage and wellness coaching, combining Pinecone, FAISS, HNSW indexing, metadata-aware retrieval, and TinyBERT reranking to reduce non-grounded responses by 27% and increase content relevance by 12%. Optimized LLM inference using vLLM, PagedAttention, TensorRT, dynamic batching, and quantization — achieving 30% higher GPU utilization and 50% lower inference latency. Implemented an enterprise Generative Safety Layer for detecting hallucination, toxicity classification, and cultural-context validation, reducing unsafe or non-compliant responses by 45%. Developed distributed fine-tuning pipelines for GPT-4o and LLaMA
Senior Machine Learning Engineer at Sage Software Inc
July 1, 2019 - April 30, 2022
Architected end-to-end ML/NLP system for financial analytics, integrating text and image processing pipelines to automate document analysis and support internal decision-making tools. Built a BERT-based NER model using TensorFlow and spaCy to extract structured data from financial documents, reducing data errors from 11% to 2%. Implemented topic modeling and classification with Gensim and NLTK to categorize millions of financial records annually, increasing search relevance and enabling faster insights. Enhanced a computer vision pipeline with TensorFlow and OpenCV to process images in financial documents, integrating outputs with NLP modules for richer structured data. Established an evaluation and monitoring framework using Weights & Biases, tracking model performance and drift across NLP and CV components. Automated ML lifecycle with Kubeflow, Terraform, CloudFormation, and AWS EKS, reducing release cycle time by 30% and enabling modular, scalable pipelines.
ML Developer at Anyline
February 1, 2016 - June 30, 2019
Developed and accelerated on-device OCR and computer vision models using TensorFlow Lite and PyTorch Mobile, improving multilingual text recognition accuracy by 12% and reducing inference latency by 22% via quantization and pruning. Built an automated synthetic data generation pipeline producing 250k labeled samples using GAN-based augmentation and domain randomization, cutting annotation time by 70% and improving OCR robustness. Implemented a hybrid CNN–LSTM model for real-time character sequence modeling on mobile devices, enabling sub-100ms inference and achieving 95%+ accuracy. Enhanced TireBuddy by implementing real-time tire sidewall detection and DOT code recognition, improving recognition accuracy by 22% and enabling adoption by 40+ automotive partners globally.
