Gen AI / ML Engineer · building LLM applications, RAG systems, and production machine learning pipelines on Azure and AWS.
I build Retrieval-Augmented Generation apps with Azure OpenAI, LangChain, and Azure AI Search, ship ML models behind FastAPI services, and care about the parts that make AI trustworthy in production: grounding, guardrails, evaluation, and monitoring.
- Generative AI: RAG over enterprise documents with Azure OpenAI, LangChain, LangGraph, Prompt Flow, and Azure AI Search; prompt engineering with grounding, conversation memory, and guardrails that cut hallucinations by 20%.
- Document AI: ingestion pipelines with Azure AI Document Intelligence, OCR, and chunking for semantic and vector search.
- Machine learning: supervised models for risk, fraud, segmentation, and forecasting with scikit-learn, XGBoost, and Amazon SageMaker, tracked with MLflow.
- Production: FastAPI and Flask inference APIs, Docker, Azure App Service, AWS Lambda, CI/CD with GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps, plus monitoring in Azure Monitor, CloudWatch, and Power BI.

Customer churn early-warning system. Compares logistic regression, random forest, and XGBoost (ROC-AUC 0.845), reaches 50% of churners by calling the top 20% of risk scores, and serves predictions with plain-language risk drivers through a FastAPI service. |
Credit-risk early warning for two-year financial distress. Class-weighted CatBoost beats a logistic baseline (test ROC-AUC 0.867), and the approve/decline threshold minimizes expected loss in dollars instead of defaulting to 0.5. |
|
Predictive maintenance for a CNC milling cell. A glass-box failure model, conformal triage bands with a measured coverage guarantee, survival-based tool-life budgets, and cost-optimal alert thresholds. |
Hourly bike-share demand forecasting. LightGBM reaches R² 0.91 and cuts mean error from 102 to 43 bikes per hour against the seasonal baseline, validated on a strictly chronological hold-out. |
|
Concrete compressive-strength regression (R² 0.93), run in reverse to find the lowest-carbon mix that still meets a target strength. |
Crop recommendation engine (99.5% held-out accuracy) with an advisory layer that explains soil-nutrient shortfalls in plain language. Optuna tuning and Pandera data validation. |
|
Python conversational voice assistant with speech recognition, text-to-speech, and NLP-driven intent handling for weather, news, Wikipedia, messaging, translation, and system control. |
