I am Arash Shahmansoori, a senior AI/ML research engineer and technical lead with over 10 years in machine learning and statistical signal processing, and more than 5 years in deep learning, LLMs, and generative AI. I design, train, and ship agentic LLM systems and multi-GPU/distributed pipelines end-to-end—from data strategy and modeling to deployment, monitoring, and cost/performance optimization—in cybersecurity and voice assistant products. I bring hands-on MLOps/LLMOps across AWS/Azure/GCP/Kubernetes; I'm expert with PyTorch/Transformers/DeepSpeed, Ray/Kubeflow/MLflow, Triton/ONNX/TensorRT, and modern RAG/vector stacks. I'm known for turning research into reliable, scalable production: improving accuracy, lowering latency and unit cost via retrieval, distillation, and quantization, and hardening safety/privacy with automated evals, red-teaming, guardrails, and differential privacy/federated learning. I enjoy mentoring, setting standards, and partnering with product/security/legal to ship compliant, trustworthy AI.
