About

I am a Prompt / ML Engineer with strong foundations in NLP, machine learning, and production AI systems. I design and deploy multi-step prompt workflows, retrieval-augmented generation pipelines (RAG), and structured-output LLM systems with a focus on reliability, guardrails, and real-world integration.

My background combines hands-on engineering (Python, NLP libraries, APIs, SDKs) with system-level thinking, enabling me to build prompt-powered features that scale in production and remain aligned with product goals.
