“Machine Learning Intern at Docsumo who delivered a customer-facing fraud-detection solution end-to-end: rebuilt the pipeline, deployed a Random Forest model, and shipped a Python/Flask microservice on AWS SageMaker. Drove measurable production impact (precision +30%, processing time cut in half, manual review -60%, customer satisfaction +15%) and demonstrated strong customer integration and live-incident response skills.”

“LLM-focused engineer who has shipped multiple production-grade AI reliability systems: an LLM output validation/monitoring service (FastAPI) with prompt versioning and failure analytics, plus a RAG feature using embeddings/vector DBs with retrieval thresholds, schema/context validation, and safe fallbacks. Strong in evaluation loops (groundedness, schema accuracy, human review) and scalable pipelines for messy document ingestion with observability and early detection of data quality issues.”

“Built and deployed a live production LLM document Q&A platform (DocumindAI) with an adaptive RAG pipeline (Claude + Cohere embeddings + pgvector), source-cited structured outputs, and engineered fallbacks for reliability and sub-2s latency. Also has enterprise integration experience at Tech Mahindra working with messy IFS ERP XML integrations, using validation/normalization and JTA transactions to prevent partial writes and data corruption.”

“Data engineer with Wells Fargo experience owning an end-to-end lakehouse ETL pipeline on Databricks/Azure Data Factory, processing ~480GB daily and implementing robust data quality/reconciliation across 40+ tables to reach ~99.3% reliability. Strong in performance optimization (cut runtime 5.5h→3.8h), CI/CD and monitoring, and resilient external/API ingestion with retries, schema validation, and backfills.”
