Building Reliable AI Solutions Backed by Cutting-Edge Research Looking for an AI solution that goes beyond a basic model or prototype? I’m a Machine Learning Engineer and Computer Science PhD researcher specializing in Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Computer Vision, LLMs, Multimodal AI, and Medical AI. I help startups, businesses, and research teams turn complex ideas and data into reliable, practical AI solutions. I can help you with: • Machine Learning & Deep Learning — custom models, prediction systems, classification, and optimization • Computer Vision — image classification, medical imaging, feature extraction, and deep learning pipelines • LLMs & Generative AI — LLM-based applications, NLP pipelines, and intelligent AI systems • Multimodal AI — solutions combining images, text, tabular data, or other modalities • Medical & Healthcare AI — medical image analysis, robust AI models, and research-driven implementations • AI Research & Implementation — reproducing research papers, implementing novel methods, experimentation, and evaluation • Technical AI Consulting — architecture decisions, model selection, project roadmaps, and research direction Why work with me? My work combines research-level AI expertise with practical implementation. Rather than simply training a model, I focus on understanding your problem, selecting the right methodology, building a clean and reproducible pipeline, evaluating it properly, and delivering a solution you can actually use or extend. My technical stack includes Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn, OpenCV, and modern deep learning and AI frameworks. Whether you already have a well-defined project or just an idea and need help determining the best technical direction, I’d be happy to discuss it. Send me a message or book a consultation, and let’s turn your AI idea into a practical solution.

I build AI that works in production. Not demos. Two things I do most. Custom ML and AI builds (scoring models, NLP, RAG, GPT-4 and Claude integrations). And making operational tools smart with automation and AI agents. ClickUp is where I do a lot of this, but the same approach works for any workflow tool your team lives in. I mostly work with startups and small-to-mid sized teams (10-50 people) who have outgrown spreadsheets and manual processes but are not ready to hire a full data team. A couple of examples. A 35-person marketing agency hired me to fix their ClickUp. I rebuilt the whole workspace. New structure, automated handoffs across six departments, AI briefing summaries. Saved them 15+ hours a week and cut handoff mistakes by more than half. For another client I built a RAG system on top of their internal docs so their support team could answer customer questions in seconds instead of digging through Notion for 20 minutes. Stack I use most: Python, scikit-learn, XGBoost, spaCy, HuggingFace, OpenAI, Anthropic, Streamlit. Cursor and Claude every day for shipping faster. Next.js, Postgres, Make, n8n when the project needs it. I document everything and hand it off properly. Nothing I build falls apart when I leave. Clean code, real docs, support after delivery so your team owns it. If any of this sounds like what you need, send me a message and tell me what you are trying to fix. I will tell you honestly if I am the right person for it.
