Director-level Engineering Leader specializing in AI and EdTech platforms

San Mateo, CA21y exp

“Has been on the receiving end of a VC investment and took responsibility for significant parts of the diligence process, drawing parallels to hands-on work with security compliance and auditors. Approaches entrepreneurship and idea selection with a structured framework (leverage, resources/runway, passion) and a sustainability-first mindset around risk and personal/family well-being.”

“Built a production agentic AI system to automate data science work using a layered architecture (executive-summary handling, tool-based execution, and on-the-fly code generation). Demonstrates strong end-to-end agent development practices including RAG with vector databases, prompt engineering, and multi-method evaluation (LLM-as-judge/human/code-based), plus Airflow-based orchestration for ML data pipelines and close collaboration with business end users.”

“Built and deployed a production LLM/RAG fraud investigation system to replace manual investigator workflows, combining transaction data, historical cases, and policy documents with agent-style steps and LoRA fine-tuning. Demonstrates strong reliability engineering (grounding, citations, abstention paths), performance optimization (retrieval/indexing/caching), and end-to-end MLOps orchestration using Azure ML Pipelines/MLflow plus Kubernetes/Argo with canary and rollback deployments.”

“LLM/MLOps engineer who has shipped production systems for complaint intelligence and contact-center NLU, including LoRA/RLHF-tuned LLaMA models deployed on GKE with vLLM and Vertex AI batch pipelines to BigQuery. Demonstrates strong practical focus on hallucination control, data imbalance mitigation, and production monitoring (Langfuse) with regression testing and canary rollouts, plus experience orchestrating complex workflows with AWS Step Functions.”

“Built and shipped a production LLM-powered RAG assistant for enterprise internal document search (PDFs, knowledge bases, structured data), addressing real-world issues like noisy documents, hallucinations, and latency with grounded prompting, retrieval-confidence fallbacks, and performance optimizations. Also partnered with compliance and business teams at JPMc to deliver a solution aligned with regulatory constraints, supported by monitoring, feedback loops, and systematic evaluation.”

“AI/ML engineer (Cognizant) who built a production, real-time credit card fraud detection platform combining deep-learning anomaly detection with an LLM-based explanation layer. Strong focus on regulated deployment: addressed class imbalance and feature drift, and added guardrails (SHAP/structured inputs, fine-tuning on analyst reports, rule-based validation) to keep explanations accurate and compliant. Orchestrated the full pipeline with Airflow + Databricks/Spark and used MLflow/Prometheus plus A/B and shadow deployments for measurable reliability.”

“Data/ML engineer with experience across pharma (Dr. Reddy Laboratories) and financial services (Cincinnati Financial, Capital One), building production NLP and entity-resolution systems that connect messy unstructured text with enterprise SQL data. Delivered semantic search with BERT + vector DB and domain fine-tuning (reported ~35% relevance lift), and builds robust pipelines using Airflow/dbt/Spark with strong validation, monitoring, and stakeholder-aligned rollout practices.”
