With over 15 years in applied engineering, I specialize in AI/ML, computer vision, cloud migration, and data platforms. I help teams deliver measurable results with practical, production-ready solutions. AI/ML Engineering & GenAI: Supervised/unsupervised modeling, LLM/RAG apps with grounded citations, prompt/eval/guardrails, and task automation. Experience fine-tuning, distillation, and benchmarking so models are accurate and cost-effective. Computer Vision: Object detection/segmentation (YOLO/RT-DETR), pose estimation (MoveNet/RTMPose/MediaPipe), action recognition, OCR/receipt parsing, and video analytics. End-to-end dataset work (collection, labeling, Roboflow), augmentation, and on-device/edge export (Core ML/TFLite) when needed. MLOps & Deployment: Reproducible training, experiment tracking, registries, CI/CD for models, scalable inference (FastAPI/Triton), and monitoring/drift alerts across AWS/GCP/Azure. Cloud Migration & Data Engineering: Lift-and-shift and re-platforming to AWS/GCP/Azure with minimal downtime; ELT/ETL pipelines, lakehouse stacks, and analytical models in Snowflake/BigQuery/Databricks. Dashboards and KPI reporting that tie directly to business goals. SAP ERP & Enterprise Integration: Implementation and customization to streamline processes, with data pipelines that connect SAP to analytics and AI use cases. Iโm pragmatic, detail-oriented, and focused on client outcomesโclear communication, small milestones, and results you can measure. Letโs discuss your goals and map the fastest path to value.
