About

I’m a senior ML engineer with over 8 years of experience building and deploying production-grade ML systems. I design scalable pipelines, optimize performance, and collaborate closely with product and data teams to deliver measurable impact.

I specialize in Python, ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow) and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP). I enjoy turning raw data into actionable insights, implementing robust CI/CD, and building observability into ML workflows.
