Summary

Machine Learning Engineer with over 5 years of experience managing and executing end-to-end machine learning projects. I possess a robust technical background in Python and AWS, having deployed advanced solutions that include classification, segmentation, inference, feature extraction, and natural language processing (NLP). My expertise spans the entire ML lifecycle—from model evaluation with benchmarks, architecture selection and optimization, to production deployment and monitoring. I have also served as an ML Technical Lead for 2 years, utilizing project management tools such as Jira and Azure DevOps. I implement GitFlow for version control and employ CI/CD practices via GitHub and GitLab.
