Who's Building This?
Applied AI Engineer and Data Scientist with a strong Software Engineering foundation, specializing in building production-grade LLM systems, multimodal AI solutions, and scalable cloud infrastructure.
With 3+ years of experience across AI engineering and software development, I deliver measurable business impact through end-to-end ML pipelines, agentic frameworks, and enterprise deployments.
- Developed LangGraph-based agentic systems with GPT-4/Claude routing, achieving 35% cost reduction and 90% automation in enterprise workflows, deployed via FastAPI microservices and AWS Bedrock.
- Engineered production ML models (XGBoost, DBSCAN clustering) with MLflow tracking and A/B testing, delivering 15% conversion lift and building scalable ETL pipelines processing 100K+ daily records on AWS (Airflow, Lambda, EMR).
- AWS Solutions Architect certified with hands-on expertise in cloud-native architectures using Terraform, Kubernetes (EKS), serverless computing, and compliance frameworks (GDPR, HIPAA).
