About

I’m a Machine Learning Engineer with a background in computer science and an MSBA from UC Davis. I’ve worked at Novo Nordisk (Oct 2021–Jul 2023), where I built predictive models that boosted sales, optimized large-scale data pipelines to cut cloud costs, and deployed scalable ETL workflows for real-time analytics. At INFORMS, I developed real-time sentiment analysis systems and LLM-powered agents that automated processes and improved engagement. Currently, I’m contributing at KindKart by building applied AI products that streamline operations and decision-making.

My skills include Python, SQL, R, TensorFlow, PyTorch, Hugging Face, LangChain, and cloud platforms like AWS and GCP. I’ve designed and deployed LLM agents, fine-tuned transformer models, and built production-ready pipelines that deliver measurable business value.

I focus on LLMs, production ML systems, and NLP, combining technical depth with business insight to create scalable AI solutions that solve real problems.
