Machine Learning / AI Engineer with 4+ years of experience owning the full model lifecycle—from problem framing and feature engineering through training, deployment, and production monitoring—for enterprise ML and LLM systems. Skilled in building production-grade APIs, containerized deployments, and CI/CD pipelines. I build scalable data processing and MLOps workflows, including model versioning, drift monitoring, and observability (MLflow, Prometheus, Grafana). I partner with product, data engineering, and software teams in Agile environments, and I document architecture and operational runbooks while communicating trade-offs to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
