About

ML/LLM infrastructure-focused engineer who built a production stateful LLM inference service that cuts latency and GPU compute for repeated/overlapping prompts via caching with correctness guardrails. Strong in Kubernetes-based deployment and reliability engineering, using A/B testing and similarity-based evaluation to quantify performance gains without sacrificing output quality.

Key Strengths

  • Built and deployed a stateful LLM inference service to reduce latency and GPU cost for overlapping prompts
  • Balances correctness vs performance using similarity thresholds and automatic cache bypass
  • Strong production reliability focus (bounded caches, eviction strategies, memory pressure monitoring to prevent OOM)
  • Metrics-driven evaluation using controlled A/B experiments (latency, cache hit rate, GPU savings, output similarity distributions)
  • Hands-on container orchestration in Kubernetes (resource limits/requests, scheduling, restart policies, horizontal scaling)
  • Designs AI agents as observable, composable, idempotent stages with measurable contracts and guardrails
  • Pragmatic model/retrieval/prompting selection driven by constraints and empirical validation (offline eval + A/B tests)
