Generative AI and Machine Learning Engineer focused on shipping reliable, monitored, low-latency AI systems in production. I build retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and agentic/multi-agent LLM workflows that are grounded, source-cited, and evaluated with offline quality and faithfulness metrics. I have nearly 4 years of experience orchestrating LLM applications with LangChain/LangGraph, implementing RAG retrieval and evaluation, and delivering production ML/LLMOps on AWS and Azure. I’m especially interested in turning deep-learning foundations (forecasting, anomaly detection) into practical, measurable impact for support and operations teams.

Work Experience

AI/ML Engineer at Uber
December 1, 2025 - Present
Built a production retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipeline over a ~30K-document internal knowledge base using FAISS dense retrieval with cross-encoder reranking. Replaced legacy keyword search to deliver grounded, source-cited answers for support and operations teams. Developed LangGraph multi-agent workflows with stateful message handling and tool calling to resolve multi-step operational queries, reducing manual back-and-forth. Implemented an offline evaluation harness measuring faithfulness and context precision/recall to catch grounding and retrieval regressions before release across ~2,000 daily queries. Containerized inference services with Docker on AWS EKS, serving retrieval under 300ms and reducing p95 response latency by 35% via Redis caching. Added guardrails and source-citation validation to curb ungrounded responses. Instrumented MLflow tracking and Prometheus monitoring across multiple drift and quality metrics to detect retrieval degradation in production.
Data Consultant – AI/ML at Dell Technologies
September 1, 2020 - August 1, 2023
Built churn and retention models using RNN and XGBoost on 120K+ customer records, improving early identification of at-risk accounts and raising churn-model F1 from ~0.64 to ~0.79. Engineered 25+ behavioral and temporal features using Python, SQL, and Pandas to strengthen model performance on sequential-learning tasks. Built PySpark and Apache Airflow ETL to process 2M+ records per cycle and consolidate data from 8+ business systems, reducing data-prep time and improving training consistency. Delivered prediction services via Flask and FastAPI, integrating six supervised models with CRM platforms and supporting 1K+ weekly requests with low-latency serving.
