Building Soda to monitor from data to decision

I love talking about: machine learning, data quality, decision making, post deployment data science, performance estimation, and bunch of other stuff. 

Always open to have a chat 🙂

I am a passionate AI Engineer specializing in building and deploying production-grade AI systems, with deep expertise in Large Language Models (LLMs), MLOps, and cloud architecture. I leverage the full spectrum of the AI lifecycle—from data preprocessing and model fine-tuning to deploying scalable, secure APIs—to solve complex business problems.My core competency lies in developing Classical ML models and advanced NLP solutions, including LLM fine-tuning, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems, and AI orchestration, deployed on cloud platforms like AWS and Azure.Here are some highlights of my work:LLM Deployment &amp; Fine-tuning: Deployed the DeepSeek R1 model on Azure with vLLM, achieving high-throughput inference. Fine-tuned Meta's Llama2-7b on financial data using AWS SageMaker to adapt it for domain-specific tasks.Advanced RAG &amp; AI Orchestration: Built a sophisticated RAG-powered chatbot using Llama3 and a vector database, improving retrieval accuracy by 30%. End-to-End MLOps &amp; Deployment: Established robust MLOps pipelines using MLflow, Docker, and CI/CD (e.g., GitHub Actions) to deploy models as scalable FastAPI microservices on AWS Lambda and Kubernetes (EKS), ensuring reliability and ease of maintenance.Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Designed and deployed highly available, secure cloud infrastructure on AWS using Terraform and CloudFormation, adhering to DevOps best practices.Technical Stack:Languages &amp; Frameworks: Python, SQL, FastAPI, Flask, LangChain, LlamaIndex, PyTorch, Scikit-learn, Node.jsCloud &amp; ML Platforms: AWS (SageMaker, Lambda, EKS, S3), Azure (AI Search, OpenAI, VMs), Google CloudTools &amp; Technologies: Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, MLflow, Airflow, PostgreSQL, Cassandra, Qdrant, vLLMI am a collaborative and driven professional, constantly seeking to leverage cutting-edge technology to create innovative, data-driven solutions that deliver tangible impact. I am open to discussing challenging opportunities in AI and ML engineering.
