Senior AI/ML Engineer at Flywire
June 1, 2023 - June 1, 2026
Architected an AWS Bedrock document intelligence platform using Knowledge Bases, Lambda, API Gateway, and S3 with RAG, semantic search, and a curated document taxonomy to extract, classify, and validate 150,000+ documents monthly. Built end-to-end RAG pipelines with LangChain and LlamaIndex, benchmarking OpenSearch Serverless, Pinecone, and Faiss with evaluation loops and production guardrails. Designed and published a domain ontology in RDF/RDFS/OWL with SHACL validation and SPARQL endpoints using GraphDB and Stardog, enabling retrieval and validation against governed semantic definitions. Reduced document processing time by 75% using Python/FastAPI layers over Bedrock and multiple model providers. Built AI support assistants and internal full-stack Streamlit applications and orchestrated multi-step agents with LangGraph/DSPy and MCP integrations. Scaled GenAI microservices on Kubernetes/ECS with 250,000+ daily requests at ~800ms p95 and implemented verification/grounding and fallback
Machine Learning Engineer at Quantexa
December 1, 2019 - June 1, 2023
Developed supervised ML models for classification, regression, and time-series forecasting powering predictive analytics and risk modeling, improving accuracy by 10% over baselines using Scikit-learn and XGBoost. Built distributed feature engineering and training pipelines in PySpark on Databricks from Kafka streams processing 100M+ records daily, reducing preparation time by 60%. Developed knowledge graphs on Neo4j with entity-resolved customer/counterparty/transaction data and Cypher traversals to surface risk signals for downstream models. Productionized Python REST inference APIs handling 2M+ predictions/day with low latency. Implemented MLOps with MLflow and SageMaker including experiment tracking, model versioning, and CI/CD; reduced release cycles from 4 weeks to 3 days. Automated monitoring and drift detection across 50 models, improving time-to-detect from 7 days to 4 hours, and reduced training compute costs by 30%.
Python Developer at Lendable
July 1, 2015 - December 1, 2019
Delivered full-stack internal tooling and workflow automation using Django/Flask with Node.js and React/TypeScript front ends, supporting 500+ internal users. Streamlined ETL/ELT workflows and relational/NoSQL data access layers using SQLAlchemy and PostgreSQL/Oracle; owned data modeling and reference taxonomies, preparing 10M+ records per day for analytics and AI-ready processing with 99.5% reliability. Optimized SQL and PL/SQL queries by 70% through indexing and execution-plan analysis, and reduced API response times by 50% using Redis caching and performance profiling. Automated operations in Python on Linux, eliminating 15+ hours/week of manual work.
