By day I’m a Systems Engineer; by night (and most early mornings) I spend 25–30 extra hours a week experimenting with ML frameworks, reading new papers, and pushing projects from prototype to containerized deployment. I am finishing an M.S. in ECE, and I’m eager to bring this momentum to a team where applied machine learning is the core mission.
This is a snapshot of the tools and technologies I work with. I'm always learning and expanding this list!
| Category | Technologies |
|---|---|
| Languages & Data | Python SQL C++ R pandas NumPy |
| ML / GenAI / CV | PyTorch Scikit-learn TensorFlow LangChain Hugging Face YOLOv8 OpenCV SAM2 TensorRT |
| CI/CD & Automation | Git GitHub GitHub Actions |
| Cloud & Provisioning | GCP (Cloud Run, GCS, Artifact Registry, Secret Manager AWS (S3, SageMaker) Terraform Docker |
| Frameworks & Testing | FastAPI pytest flake8 black CometML |
Here are a couple of projects I'm proud of. They showcase my journey from data ingestion and model training to deployment.
| Project | Description | Tech Stack |
|---|---|---|
| 🧠 Intelligent Knowledge-Retrieval (RAG) System | An end-to-end MLOps Project for a RAG system.Features include a complete CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions for automated testing and image publishing. The entire cloud infrastructure, including a serverless API on Google Cloud Run, is defines and deployed using Terraform. | Terraform GCP GitHub Actions Docker FastAPI LangChaing FAISS unstructured |
| 🎯 Aim-Trainer Performance Analyzer | An end-to-end Computer Vision system that analyzes gameplay footage. Features a custom-trained YOLOv8 model (98% mAP) and a custom semi-automated data labeling pipeline using a hybrid model system (YOLOv8 and SAM2). | YOLOv8 OpenCV PaddleOCR PyTorch SAM2 |
I believe in building in public and contributing back to the community. I'm an active contributor to:
- 💪 MLGym: | Contributed an additional task to Metas MLGym framework (kaggle titanic survival task), an experimental framework that provides a gym environment intended to benchmark AI agents in a variety of ML/data science tasks
I'm always open to connecting with other developers, researchers, and potential collaborators. Feel free to reach out!
