“Cloud/ML engineer with production deployment experience on Azure (Dockerized models, managed APIs, data pipelines) who has repeatedly stabilized unreliable systems—e.g., taking an API-driven analytics pipeline from ~60% to 98% reliability and an Azure ML service from ~80% to 97% by addressing rate limits, container memory, and gateway timeouts. Also built an explainable contract-risk model for entertainment bookings (Transformers + SHAP) and integrated it into a legacy booking system via a Flask REST API, plus prior IoT work at Nissan processing CAN bus sensor streams for diagnostics/anomaly insights.”

“Internship project at Builder Market: built an end-to-end production multimodal LLM application that estimates renovation/replacement costs from appliance photos (CLIP embeddings) or text descriptions, combining fine-tuning with agentic RAG. Focused heavily on real-world performance constraints—latency and cost—using parallel agent workflows, model routing to smaller/open-source models, re-ranking, and retrieval chunking, and collaborated closely with CEO/co-founders to deliver the solution.”

“Full-stack developer with Manulife experience building and scaling a customer-facing digital wealth portfolio tracker and a complex React/TypeScript portfolio dashboard. Strong track record improving mobile UX and reliability with measurable impact (30% lower mobile bounce rate; ~20–22% fewer Stripe payment errors) through CI/CD automation, A/B testing, and monitored incremental rollouts.”

“ML/LLM engineer with production experience building a RAG-based LLM support assistant (FastAPI, Redis, Kafka) with multi-layer validation and human-in-the-loop feedback loops to improve accuracy over time. Has orchestration and MLOps depth using Airflow and Kubeflow on Kubernetes (autoscaling, alerting, monitoring) and delivered measurable ops impact (40% ticket efficiency improvement) by partnering closely with customer support teams.”

“Backend/ML platform engineer who owns end-to-end delivery of ML-serving APIs (FastAPI + TensorFlow) and runs them reliably on Kubernetes using ArgoCD GitOps. Has hands-on experience solving production-only issues (probe tuning for model warm-up, resource profiling) and building scalable Kafka streaming pipelines, plus supporting phased on-prem to AWS migrations with dependency discovery and recreation of hidden jobs/workflows.”

“Built an LLM-powered agent within the Nora AI analytics platform to automate e-commerce product performance analysis and generate actionable recommendations (pricing/inventory), designed with production-grade reliability patterns and observability. Emphasizes predictable, schema-validated tool/function-calling pipelines with robust fallbacks, idempotency, and guardrails for messy operational data.”
