I am a seasoned Machine Learning Engineer and Technical Lead with over a decade of experience in AI/ML technologies, specializing in NLP, distributed systems, and MLOps. With a strong background in operationalizing ML models, I excel at designing robust data pipelines, optimizing model serving, and implementing governance frameworks to ensure scalable and reliable AI systems.

In my role as a Principal Machine Learning Engineer at Arbisoft and KAYAK, I’ve led cross-functional teams to deliver impactful solutions such as:

•   NLP Systems for Travel Platforms: Developed multilingual topic extraction models for travel reviews, improving SEO rankings and user comprehension.
•   Image Processing Pipelines: Created automated image enhancement systems that improved user engagement and platform performance.
•   Recommendation Systems: Engineered personalized hotel room classification models that boosted conversion rates.
•   Data-Driven Translation Models: Enhanced multilingual capabilities for global user expansion.

I combine technical leadership with a “player-coach” mindset, actively mentoring engineers while aligning technical roadmaps to product goals. My passion lies in building scalable NLP solutions, particularly in areas like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), fine-tuning, and evaluation.

I’m currently pursuing a Master of Science in Data Science at the University of Colorado Boulder to deepen my expertise in mathematics, statistics, and data science methodologies.

I’m seeking new opportunities where I can leverage my technical skills, leadership experience, and passion for AI to drive impactful innovation.
