Skills

Core capabilities across model development, systems, and cloud delivery.

My technical foundation spans the full machine learning engineering stack: designing and fine-tuning deep learning models in PyTorch, building production generative AI and RAG pipelines with LangChain and vector databases, and deploying scalable MLOps infrastructure on Kubernetes and AWS. I work across model development, backend systems, and cloud tooling — from data ingestion and experiment tracking through to serving and monitoring in production.
