I'm a Senior Python Developer and AI Engineer with 9 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, cloud-native, AI-driven solutions in high-performance environments. I specialize in production-grade Generative AI applications, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, LLM-powered assistants, and secure healthcare workloads in HIPAA-compliant settings. I build robust backend services, observability and governance practices, and end-to-end MLOps pipelines to enable rapid, reliable AI-enabled workflows for clinicians, lab teams, and operations. I thrive on cross-functional collaboration to translate clinical and operational needs into resilient data and AI platforms. My hands-on experience spans Vertex AI, GPT-4, LangChain, FAISS, Pinecone, and data ecosystems (BigQuery, Snowflake, PostgreSQL), along with CI/CD, Docker/Kubernetes, and multi-cloud deployments. I’m passionate about prompt engineering, model governance, and delivering measurable business impact through scalable GenAI capabilities.
