I am a Lead Machine Learning Engineer and Applied Data Scientist with a Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence, specializing in Natural Language Processing (NLP), and a strong foundation in Computer Science. My work is centered on the research and application of advanced Machine Learning and Deep Learning techniques, with a primary focus on NLP. Throughout my career, I have contributed to all phases of the ML project lifecycle—including R&D, RFP, PDP, SDP, development, and production. I have extensive experience designing, developing, and maintaining end-to-end ML and data science pipelines in cloud-based environments. My domain expertise includes a wide range of NLP applications such as information retrieval, feature engineering and embeddings, text classification, generative AI, summarization, conversational AI and chatbots, question answering, semantic search, and recommender systems. With over a decade of experience in both research and industry, I bring a strong ability to work both independently and collaboratively. I am skilled in developing innovative solutions, leading technical initiatives, and driving projects from concept to deployment.
