  • Expert proficiency in Python modern ML/LLM frameworks (PyTorch, Hugging Face, LangChain, LlamaIndex), and strong SQL/data pipeline skills.
  • Proven hands-on experience fine-tuning LLMs, building RAG pipelines, and creating agentic AI workflows (e.g., multi-step reasoning, autonomous agents, internal AI copilots).

  • Mentorship & Skill Uplift: Coach data scientists, analysts, and engineers in LLM concepts, evaluation design, RAG patterns, and applied AI/ML best practices.
  • Full AI Lifecycle Ownership: Design, fine-tune, evaluate, and deploy ML/LLM models for both product-facing features and internal AI assistants, with a focus on scalability, safety, and maintainability.
  • Agentic AI Infrastructure: Architect and implement workflows for agentic AI systems — including multi-agent coordination, tool integration, memory management, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) — enabling autonomous and semi-autonomous AI-powered decisioning.
