Hi, I'm Shakeel Qureshid, a Senior AI/ML Developer with 7+ years building practical machine learning products that move from prototype to production. I specialize in deep learning, generative AI, retrieval-augmented generation, and large-scale model serving, and I enjoy shipping reliable models that perform under real user traffic. I work across the full AI system stack—from data ingestion and feature engineering to model training, evaluation, deployment, and monitoring. I design scalable ML infrastructure, vector stores, and retrieval systems, and I have hands-on experience delivering production-ready AI features in web apps with CI/CD.
