About

Professional summary

I am an AI/ML Engineer specializing in large language models, generative AI, retrieval-augmented generation, and production machine learning systems.

I design LLM-powered applications, intelligent assistants, AI agents, and enterprise knowledge-discovery workflows. My experience includes document ingestion, semantic retrieval, reranking, context construction, structured generation, and grounded answers.

I have strong hands-on expertise in Python, deep learning, transformer architectures, model fine-tuning, pretraining, and reinforcement learning. I work with SFT, LoRA, QLoRA, PEFT, RLHF, and reward-model-based optimization workflows.

I have built distributed model-training and evaluation pipelines using multi-GPU infrastructure, mixed precision, and FSDP. I focus on improving model quality, retrieval relevance, reliability, latency, and inference cost.

I am experienced with production AI infrastructure, including Docker, Kubernetes, Linux, cloud platforms, vector databases, API and database integrations, observability, and MLOps. I enjoy delivering scalable, monitored AI systems from experimentation through deployment.

Career history

AI / LLM Engineer Ineffable Intelligence

Designed LLM-powered applications integrating retrieval, embeddings, structured generation, and backend services. Architected enterprise RAG workflows covering document ingestion, chunking, retrieval, reranking, context construction, and grounded generation.

Reduced fine-tuning GPU memory consumption by approximately 60% through QLoRA, enabling larger models to train on available infrastructure. Developed evaluation workflows for answer quality, retrieval relevance, latency, reliability, and cost, and built production multi-agent workflows using MCP and Hermes Agent with API/database integrations, memory, planning, error recovery, and monitoring.

LLM / Data Engineer Imobisoft

Designed a distributed Transformer pretraining pipeline using PyTorch, FSDP, mixed precision, and multi-GPU training. The pipeline processed more than 1.2 billion training tokens per day.

Fine-tuned open-source LLMs using SFT, LoRA, QLoRA, and PEFT for domain-specific instruction-following tasks. Also reduced unnecessary LLM calls by approximately 28% for high-volume agent workloads and experimented with reward-model-based training and reinforcement-learning workflows.

AI Engineer Dynamo AI

Developed Transformer-based NLP systems for document classification, information extraction, semantic similarity, and question answering. Fine-tuned BERT and other Transformer models on domain-specific datasets.

Built automated benchmark pipelines to evaluate instruction following, reasoning, extraction, summarization, and other domain-specific tasks. Improved document-classification F1 score from 82% to 93% through data augmentation, fine-tuning, and hyperparameter optimization.
