Senior Machine Learning & AI Engineer with 8+ years of experience designing, building, and operating production-grade AI systems. I specialize in end-to-end machine learning platforms: data pipelines, feature engineering, model training, deployment, monitoring, and high-availability APIs. My work spans healthcare AI, scientific computing, enterprise software, and data-driven automation. Strong hands-on background in Python, SQL, PyTorch, FastAPI, and MLOps, with a focus on scalable, reliable systems rather than prototypes. I’ve led and delivered multi-service ML platforms, asynchronous processing pipelines, and long-running compute workloads across Linux and Windows environments. I work comfortably with startups and enterprise teams, translating complex business or scientific requirements into robust, maintainable production solutions.
