Professional Summary

I architect AI systems that bridge the gap between high-dimensional sensor data and production-ready intelligence. My career has been defined by a single mission: translating complex physical-world challenges into scalable Deep Learning solutions.

With a PhD and 5+ years of experience across the full ML lifecycleβ€”from fundamental research in Computer Vision and Transformers to building automated MLOps pipelinesβ€”I specialize in “Multimodal AI & Sensor Fusion.” My expertise lies in bridging the gap between theoretical deep learning and real-world deployment on cloud (AWS) and edge (IoT/UAV) platforms.

  • Deep Learning & GenAI: Architecture design using PyTorch/TensorFlow, Transformers, CNNs, and Time-Series forecasting (LSTM/XGBoost).
  • MLOps & Infrastructure: End-to-end model ownership using AWS SageMaker, MLflow, and Snowflake to build robust, automated data pipelines.
  • Computer Vision: Document AI (OCR), object detection, and high-resolution image analysis optimized for real-time inference.
  • Edge Intelligence: Deploying optimized models for autonomous systems, robotics, and UAV-based inspection.

Currently at GA Telesis, I lead the development of demand-forecasting MVPs and Document AI frameworks, focusing on reducing latency and maximizing model accuracy in production environments. I thrive at the intersection of complex engineering and high-performance computing, where the goal is to deliver measurable ROI through technical innovation.
