I’m a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with a passion for building high-impact, scalable AI systems that solve real business challenges. With expertise spanning recommendation engines, search optimization, and NLP, I specialize in bridging research innovations with production-ready applications that deliver measurable results.
My Journey
Currently at Disney+, I’m scaling recommendation, search and personalization systems that serve 125 Million paid users across global markets. I’ve engineered ML pipelines that not only improve content discovery but significantly boost user engagement metrics. My work also includes using LLMs that transform content categorization, enabling more intuitive discovery experiences.
At Salesforce, I joined a brand new team tasked with building the commerce search platform from absolute zero. I built and scaled this critical system from initial concept to a robust platform handling thousands of transactions per second. This “0 to 1” journey included developing an intelligent search rules engine that dynamically re-ranks products and implementing semantic search with BERT embeddings. Taking a new idea and transforming it into a production-grade platform that directly generates revenue showcases my ability to navigate ambiguity and deliver business-critical systems at scale.
My foundation in infrastructure engineering at Dell-EMC and data platform work at John Deere provided me with a comprehensive understanding of building resilient, scalable systems—skills that prove invaluable when deploying ML models to production environments where reliability is non-negotiable.
What Sets Me Apart
I thrive in the dynamic tech ecosystem where innovation meets practical implementation. While I’m comfortable with cutting-edge model architectures, my true strength lies in making AI work reliably at scale. I excel at:
- Architecting ML platforms that can scale from proof-of-concept to production
- Building recommendation, search, NLP applications and systems that balance exploration and personalization
- Optimizing cloud infrastructure for high-throughput ML workloads
- Leading cross-functional initiatives and mentoring engineering teams
My experience building systems from scratch has honed my ability to make the right technical trade-offs, advocate for engineering best practices, and lead initiatives that span multiple teams. I’m interested in tackling broader technical challenges, shape engineering culture, and lead teams toward solving increasingly complex problems.
