Machine Learning Developer

As a machine learning engineer with a 5-year track record of designing ML products, I specialize in creating and deploying cutting-edge AI models and scalable systems. My work covers designing novel algorithms, optimizing workflows, and building robust, cost-effective cloud-based infrastructures. While I’m proud of the results I’ve achieved, I approach each project as a learning opportunity and with a collaborative spirit. ### Highlights of My Expertise: - **Model Development & Optimization:** I recently designed *SpectruMS*, a 1B parameter multimodal model for Pangea Bio. This involved creating a unified chemical vocabulary, leveraging large-scale unsupervised pretraining, and optimizing fine-tuning processes. - **Big Data Engineering:** At Pangea Bio, I engineered a pipeline to curate and process 90GB of tandem mass spectrometry data from 800TB of raw files using Python, AWS Lambda, and EC2. - **Performance Acceleration:** Developed *SimMS*, a GPU-accelerated cosine similarity tool that’s up to 1000x faster than existing solutions, significantly reducing cloud computing costs. - **End-to-End AI Systems:** For Scalexa, I revamped the AI backend of the *VIMAGE* app, achieving a 10x performance improvement through model optimization and transitioning workflows to Vertex AI. ### Competitions & Open-Source: I thrive on collaboration and problem-solving, as seen during the Neural Wave hackathon where I led a team to 2nd place with a retrieval-augmented chatbot. The project was published as open source, and its methods were shared with industry stakeholders. ### Skills: - **Programming:** Python, CUDA C++, Bash - **Cloud & Infrastructure:** Google Cloud, AWS, Docker, UNIX, Slurm - **AI Frameworks:** PyTorch, Hugging Face, Flax I take pride in delivering efficient solutions tailored to your needs while prioritizing clarity and transparency throughout the process. Whether it's building complex systems, optimizing models, or solving unique challenges, I look forward to contributing to your project's success.
