Work Experience
AI/ML Engineer at Shopify
May 1, 2023 - PresentDesigned and deployed real-time fraud detection pipelines using XGBoost, anomaly detection, and Kafka + Spark ML, reducing false positives by 25% and saving millions in merchant losses. Built a personalized recommendation engine with deep learning and reinforcement learning, improving upsell and cross-sell conversions by 18%. Developed dynamic pricing and demand forecasting models (Prophet, ARIMA, LSTMs) on millions of transactions to help merchants maximize revenue. Fine-tuned LLMs on merchant support data to automate Tier-1 queries, cutting manual workload by 40% and improving response times. Enhanced search relevance with NLP embeddings (BERT, Sentence Transformers) to improve product discovery. Automated MLOps workflows with MLflow, Docker, Kubernetes, and SageMaker to speed deployment. Delivered explainable AI dashboards in Tableau/Power BI for fraud, personalization, and pricing.
AI/ML Engineer at NVIDIA
June 1, 2019 - September 1, 2022Developed and deployed GPU-accelerated ML models (NLP and CV) using PyTorch Lightning, TensorFlow, and TensorRT, reducing inference latency by 35% in fraud detection and autonomous systems. Fine-tuned transformer models (BERT, GPT, mBERT, XLM-R) for multilingual NLP tasks, boosting accuracy by ~20%. Built real-time fraud detection pipelines with Kafka + Spark ML, incorporating anomaly detection and graph ML for risk scoring across 10M+ transactions daily. Collaborated with IT data engineering to design high-throughput pipelines on Snowflake, AWS, and Spark, ensuring ML datasets are reliably available. Trained CNN and YOLO-based object detectors for autonomous vehicles, optimized for GPU edge devices, reducing inference time by 40%. Integrated LLMs with customer data lakes via RAG, enabling contextual insights for segmentation and cross-sell analytics. Implemented MLOps using MLflow, Airflow, Docker, and Kubernetes for scalable deployment.
