Key Strengths

  • Designed scalable, low-latency FastAPI backend using Redis + BigQuery; reduced response time ~40%
  • Built data validation layer with TensorFlow Data Validation to catch anomalies and prevent schema/latency issues
  • Improved API performance and stability via async processing and Redis key-expiration tuning (avg latency ~1.8s to ~1.0s)
  • Led monolith-to-microservices refactor using Flask and Kafka with blue-green deployment and versioned APIs; reduced downtime 62%
  • Implemented production security: Google OAuth, JWT, RBAC via dependency injection, query-level row security, AES encryption, HTTPS/CORS
  • Identified ML edge case (neutral misclassified as positive); improved sentiment accuracy 78% to 85% using stratified sampling + confidence thresholds
  • Built and deployed a production LLM-based personalized AI tutor (financial education) with citations/safety focus
  • Performance optimization on Cloud Run (request batching, TTL caching, warm pool, token streaming) reducing latency from ~2.8s to ~1.1s
  • Designs reliable AI workflows with SLAs/KPIs, modular components, and robust testing (unit/integration, synthetic data)
  • Experienced orchestrating ML/GenAI pipelines with Airflow and AWS Step Functions (dependency management, retries, alerting, scalable components)
  • Strong model/retrieval selection approach (dense vs sparse vs hybrid; cost/latency tradeoffs; prompting iteration)
  • Effective collaboration with non-technical stakeholders via workshops, prototypes, and dashboards; aligned AI objectives to domain goals
