Lead AI Engineer & Data Scientist | Machine Learning | Building Scalable AI Solutions | 25+ Yrs Full-Lifecycle Development

As a Lead AI Engineer and Data Scientist, I bring a unique and powerful combination: over 25 years of comprehensive, full-lifecycle software development and architecture experience, now sharply focused on designing, building, and deploying impactful, scalable AI solutions. My extensive background isn't just about coding; it's about understanding how to engineer robust, maintainable, and high-performance systems – a critical foundation often missing when moving AI from prototype to production. This deep engineering discipline is my core strength and a significant asset in the complex world of AI/ML.

My recent work centers on the practical application of AI and Machine Learning. I architect and implement solutions involving:

AI/ML Model Development & Integration: Hands-on experience with Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Scikit-learn to build predictive models, integrate and fine-tune Large Language Models (LLMs like GPT-4) for enterprise applications (e.g., automation, content generation), and develop computer vision systems.
Data Science & Analytics: Proficient in extracting, cleaning, analyzing, and interpreting complex datasets using SQL, Pandas, and statistical methods to uncover actionable insights that drive strategy and model improvements.
MLOps & Scalable Deployment: Designing and implementing CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, etc.) tailored for ML, containerizing models (Docker), managing deployments (Kubernetes concepts), and establishing monitoring for performance and drift, ensuring models operate reliably at scale on cloud platforms (AWS SageMaker, Azure ML).
High-Performance Engineering: Leveraging C++ and WASM where needed for performance-critical components, ensuring AI solutions are not just intelligent but also efficient.
Throughout my career, I've consistently led technical initiatives, mentored engineering teams, and collaborated effectively across functions (product, design, backend) to translate complex business needs into successful technology implementations. I thrive on tackling challenging problems and am passionate about leveraging the power of data and AI, grounded in solid engineering principles, to build innovative and valuable solutions.

I am actively seeking opportunities where I can apply my unique blend of deep engineering experience and AI/ML expertise to lead the development of next-generation intelligent systems. Let's connect to discuss how my background can drive your AI initiatives forward.
