Work Experience

AI/ML Engineer at JP Morgan Chase & CO.
January 1, 2025 - Present
Engineered and deployed a large-scale, multi-modal AI pipeline to predict customer financial risk and optimize client management strategies across Chase's retail branches. Integrated data from 950,000+ client records and 1.4 million document images to support proactive portfolio oversight. Built a hybrid system combining CNNs with attention for information extraction and anomaly detection, and modeled sequential client behavior with LSTMs in PyTorch using 12+ months of historical data. Developed a scalable feature engineering workflow in Snowflake, creating a unified 360-degree client view and reducing feature prep time by 60%. Implemented a robust ensemble and established continuous MLOps automation for retraining/validation, cutting drift and deployment cycles. Used a pre-trained LLM to augment data labeling for rare-edge cases, increasing minority-class data and improving fairness. Automated real-time KPI dashboards in Power BI for multiple business units, saving manual reporting ef
Machine Learning Engineer at Accenture
September 1, 2021 - December 1, 2023
Architected and implemented a full-scale MLOps framework on GCP for a predictive maintenance solution, orchestrating the entire lifecycle of multiple models and reducing retraining cycles by 70%. Designed a high-throughput multi-model microservice using FastAPI, Docker, and GKE, hosting a fine-tuned BERT classifier and a spaCy NER model, serving 50,000+ daily requests and scaling to handle 50% surge with zero downtime. Integrated Kubeflow for pipelines and MLflow for centralized experiment tracking and model registry, consolidating 150+ model versions. Automated retraining triggered by data drift (<5%) maintaining accuracy above 94% F1, reducing manual oversight by 40 hours/month. The solution contributed to a 15% reduction in unplanned downtime and ~$2.5M in annual savings.
