About

LLMOps-focused technical leader who took an LLM use case from prototype to production for a non-technical customer by combining trust-building and structured enablement with a robust AWS/Kubernetes-based MLOps stack. Built observability and rollback mechanisms (Grafana + MLflow) to troubleshoot in real time, and scaled delivery by hiring a 5-person team while partnering with sales to manage expectations and drive adoption across departments.

Key Strengths

  • Took LLM prototype to production for a non-technical customer using a structured enablement approach
  • Designed and operated an end-to-end LLMOps stack (AWS + K8s + Grafana + Prefect + MLflow + BentoML + CI/CD + API Gateway)
  • Real-time issue diagnosis via observability and safe rollback/model re-promotion using MLflow
  • Strong customer management: decomposed work into small wins, managed frustration, and built trust
  • Program/project execution discipline using Jira plus Gantt and burndown tracking to hit timelines
  • Scaled delivery by hiring and ramping a team of 5 to support the initiative
  • Tailors technical demos/workshops to audience context (legacy vs cloud-native developer audiences)
  • Partners effectively with sales to manage expectations and drive adoption
