“AI/LLM engineer who built a production autonomous GenAI content ecosystem that generates short-form scripts, extracts viral highlights from long-form video, and dubs content into 33+ languages. Focused on making LLM outputs production-safe via schema enforcement, token-to-time alignment, critic-agent verification, and scalable async orchestration—cutting manual workflows by ~90% and saving $200k+ annually.”

“Healthcare data/ML practitioner with experience at UnitedHealth Group building production ETL and streaming pipelines (Python, BigQuery, Kafka) that unify EHR, IoT device, and lab data for patient risk prediction. Also implemented embedding-based semantic search/linking for noisy clinical notes via domain adaptation and rigorous validation with clinical stakeholders; previously built churn prediction at DirecTV using XGBoost.”

“ML/LLM practitioner who has deployed a production RAG-based trouble-call identifier using multiple datasets (device, network, past complaints). Experienced in end-to-end MLOps (FastAPI + Docker + Kubernetes with HPA) and in evaluating/monitoring LLM behavior to reduce hallucinations, with additional applied work in forecasting/anomaly detection and churn prediction for retention campaigns.”

“Built an autonomous decision analytics LLM agent for end-to-end tabular binary classification, using RAG (FAISS) to retain context across multi-step queries. Deployed as a FastAPI service with production-style reliability features (schema-aware validation, fallbacks, retries, structured outputs) plus offline/online evaluation and monitoring to reduce analysis time and improve consistency versus stateless approaches.”

“At KPMG, built and productionized a secure RAG-based LLM assistant that lets business and risk stakeholders query data warehouses in natural language, reducing dependence on data engineers for ad-hoc analysis. Demonstrates strong production rigor (Airflow orchestration, CI/CD, containerization), retrieval/embedding tuning (rechunking, semantic abstraction for structured data), and reliability controls (confidence thresholds, refusal behavior, monitoring and canary evals).”

“Built production LLM systems including a real-time customer feedback analysis and workflow automation platform using RAG and multi-agent orchestration with confidence-based human escalation, addressing privacy and legacy integration challenges. Also automated ML operations with Airflow/Kubernetes (e.g., daily churn model retraining) cutting retraining time to under 30 minutes, and demonstrates a rigorous testing/monitoring approach plus strong non-technical stakeholder collaboration.”
