Available to hire
I’m Peter Pham, a Senior AI Machine Learning Engineer with 12+ years spanning full-stack development and applied ML. I’ve built content platforms at a media startup, gained hands-on ML production experience at Amazon, and now lead the ML infrastructure and model serving layer at Synophic Worldwide.
My strength is bridging research and production—taking models from notebooks to scalable APIs, building the data pipelines that feed them, and ensuring the systems around them are reliable and observable. I work primarily in Python with PyTorch and scikit-learn, and I’m comfortable building the FastAPI services and React interfaces that put ML in front of users.
