Work Experience

Senior Associate, AI/ML Engineer III at JPMorgan Chase
November 1, 2021 - Present
Designed, built, and shipped production AI services (batch and real-time) and LLM application workflows (Agentic RAG, tool calling, structured outputs) on AWS (Bedrock, ECS) using PyTorch, FastAPI, and LangGraph. Architected automated evaluation harnesses (RAGAS, LangSmith) and offline metrics pipelines embedded in CI/CD release gates to monitor prompt quality, model reliability, and safety regressions prior to production deployment. Built data ingestion and feature pipelines to connect training data with live model behavior, supporting ongoing feedback and RLHF-style alignment workflows. Supported NLP tasks including classification, summarization, information extraction, and content/compliance moderation for high-throughput enterprise applications. Integrated inference APIs with enterprise infrastructure, establishing human-in-the-loop review mechanisms and audit logging. Improved response accuracy by 25%, reduced execution failures/hallucinations by 40%, and cut p95 inference latency
