Led the development of a secure, enterprise-grade AI document processing platform using Python and Hugging Face Transformers to extract and classify data from millions of unstructured documents. Designed and deployed a scalable microservices architecture on AWS with Docker and Kubernetes for high availability and low-latency processing. Spearheaded a proprietary NLP model for sentiment analysis and regulatory monitoring from financial news and internal reports (fine-tuned BERT/Longformer). Led a team of eight engineers building an internal LLM-powered intelligent assistant using Retrieval-Augmented Generation on a vector database to provide context-aware trader responses. Implemented a robust feature store and real-time data pipelines with Kafka and Redis; integrated ML monitoring and automated retraining with Kubeflow; established CI/CD pipelines with GitLab/Jenkins; optimized inference costs via quantization and pruning for TensorFlow Lite.
Senior AI/ML Engineer at Evergreen Healthcare Partners
February 1, 2019 - November 1, 2022
Developed predictive analytics for patient readmission risk, integrated with Epic EHR to deliver real-time risk scores for care teams. Built backend APIs with Django REST Framework and PostgreSQL with HIPAA-compliant data handling. Designed a clinical decision support system using deep learning on longitudinal data to personalize treatment plans. Led data engineering to build a unified data warehouse with Apache Airflow and AWS Glue; pioneered federated learning to train models across multiple sites without centralizing data. Deployed services with Docker and ECS; collaborated with clinicians to validate performance metrics; refactored ML code into modular Python/PyTorch components; migrated a major imaging project from PoC to production with CNN-based analysis for radiology.
Senior Machine Learning Engineer at Revere Health
December 1, 2017 - January 1, 2019
