I am a senior AI engineer with 6+ years of AI/ML experience, delivering production-grade AI systems across enterprise and research settings. I specialize in large language model (LLM) systems, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), agentic workflows, and end-to-end LLMOps, including evaluation frameworks, RLHF-driven hallucination reduction, and robust safety guardrails against prompt-injection attacks. I've delivered low-latency AI platforms and secure APIs, built data-intensive ML pipelines on AWS SageMaker and Azure AI, and achieved measurable cost savings and reliability improvements. I enjoy translating complex AI capabilities into clear value, leading cross-functional teams, and shaping product strategy through hands-on demos and architecture walkthroughs.
