I am an AI engineer with 10+ years building production ML and large language model systems across Cohere, Google, Scale AI, and Tempus. I focus on systems embedded in real workflows—retrieval, agentic decisioning, and evaluation—where correctness, latency, and traceability directly impact outcomes. I take end-to-end ownership from data pipelines to production behavior, collaborating across data engineering, ML, and product teams to deliver robust, scalable AI solutions.
