Work Experience

Senior Software Engineer at Stripe
May 1, 2023 - December 1, 2025
Led design and deployment of real-time predictive analytics models using TensorFlow and PyTorch to forecast user behavior, enabling more personalized recommendations. Built NLP capabilities with Hugging Face Transformers (BERT, GPT) for improved search and recommendations. Implemented scalable ETL/ELT pipelines with Airflow, Databricks, Pandas, Kafka, and RabbitMQ, with strict data lineage and reliability. Deployed models via AWS SageMaker, orchestrating services on ECS and S3; automated deployment and retraining using Docker, Kubernetes, and GitHub Actions. Built explainable AI pipelines and integrated computer vision (YOLO) into video metadata tagging. Led MLOps patterns with MLflow, Terraform, and Kubeflow-inspired workflows.
Senior Software Engineer at Snap Inc.
February 1, 2019 - April 1, 2023
Developed customer engagement AI agents using NLP (spaCy, LangChain, LangGraph, Hugging Face) to automate support and reduce response times. Deployed ML models for predicting customer satisfaction from interaction data using Scikit-learn and XGBoost. Built real-time data pipelines with Apache Kafka and Airflow for model training and inference. Implemented AI-powered image and text recognition with OpenCV and TensorFlow; created scalable REST APIs with Django and FastAPI; containerized services with Docker and Kubernetes. Led A/B testing and model evaluation to optimize engagement and platform performance.
Software Development Engineer II at Amazon
January 1, 2014 - December 1, 2018
Designed and deployed end-to-end deep learning and ML pipelines for computer vision, NLP, and time-series tasks.
