AI/ML Expert | Startup Technologist | Builder of Scalable, Intelligent Systems

I’m an AI/ML specialist with deep experience building intelligent systems that scale—from zero to production—in fast-paced startup environments. Over the past 8+ years, I’ve helped early-stage teams turn raw data into market-ready products using applied machine learning, cloud-native tools, and lean, iterative development.

At my core, I’m a builder. I thrive at the intersection of data science, software engineering, and product strategy—designing models that not only work, but fit the business. Whether it’s powering real-time personalization, predictive engines, or intelligent automation, I focus on delivering measurable value, fast.

Key Strengths:

Startup-Proven ML Expertise: Built and deployed ML systems from scratch—recommendation engines, customer scoring, NLP pipelines, and more.

End-to-End Delivery: From data ingestion and feature engineering to model training, evaluation, deployment, and monitoring.

Lean ML Operations: Agile ML development with rapid experimentation, A/B testing, and CI/CD automation.

Product-First Mindset: Partnered closely with founders, PMs, and engineers to ship features that drive growth and retention.

Responsible AI Advocate: Embedded fairness, explainability, and trust into every model we shipped.

Tech Stack: Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn, SQL, AWS (SageMaker, Lambda), Docker, FastAPI, MLflow, dbt

I’m excited by bold ideas, messy data, and the chance to turn prototypes into production. Let’s build something impactful.

Work Experience

Senior Machine Learning Scientist
ScaleForge AI June 13, 2021 - Present Led the design and deployment of a multi-tenant ML platform used by enterprise customers for predictive analytics and personalization. Developed real-time recommendation engines and LLM-powered assistants using OpenAI APIs, LangChain, and in-house fine-tuned models. Implemented scalable training and deployment pipelines using SageMaker, Kubernetes, and MLflow, reducing model iteration time by 40%. Championed responsible AI practices including bias audits, explainability dashboards (SHAP), and custom fairness metrics for client-facing models. Mentored a team of 4 ML engineers and collaborated closely with product and design teams to launch ML-driven features.
Machine Learning Engineer
Zetaly Analytics January 10, 2018 - May 16, 2021 Built end-to-end predictive models for credit scoring, fraud detection, and churn prediction using XGBoost, deep neural networks, and autoencoders. Set up MLOps pipelines and batch inference workflows with Airflow and Docker, reducing deployment time from days to hours. Led data strategy efforts, working with PMs and data engineers to create robust feature stores and labeled datasets. Helped scale the engineering team and co-authored the company’s internal ML framework used in multiple products.
