I bridge the theory with the production-grade.
Machine Learning Engineer with 2.5+ years building Generative AI, RAG architectures, and cloud-native AI for fintech and healthcare. My favourite systems are the ones that think in one modality and speak in another — a phone call that becomes a database row, a stack of PDFs that becomes a conversation.
Right now I'm at Leapfrog Technology, deep in AWS Bedrock, Claude, and Amazon Nova. Before that, Fusemachines and E.K. Solutions, where I cut my teeth on retrieval, prompt engineering, and the unromantic art of making transformers fit inside a budget.
Off-hours I live outside — trekking Langtang, following waterfalls, photographing the mountains that raised me. The thing I believe about engineering: you ship better systems if you remember how small you are.
I like working on problems that don't already have a clean answer. Ambiguity is where the interesting engineering lives. If that sounds like your weekend, let's talk.
