Enterprise AI teams hire me to build language models that stay reliable at scale. I design production LLM systems: fine-tuning pipelines (Qwen, GPT-4o Mini, DistilBERT with PEFT/LoRA), multi-agent orchestration (CrewAI, LangChain, DSPy), and retrieval-augmented generation that minimizes hallucination through grounded retrieval and semantic consistency testing. I've shipped 52+ AI projects across healthcare, renewable energy, and enterprise infrastructure and currently lead AI/ML T4 enigneer batches at Virtusa focused on healthcare AI automation. With 7+ years delivering AI systems for energy, finance, and SaaS clients, I've shipped solutions ranging from EU AI Act compliance frameworks to smart grid optimization models using PyPSA. I co-founded the Omdena Sri Lanka Chapter (40+ engineers) and have presented technical findings at 60+ global conferences including the Professional Fellow Conference, Washington DC, AIMDA Conference(Artificial Intelligence Multi Disciplinary Applications) so I communicate clearly to both engineers and executives with over mentoring 500 beginners to professionals across 30+ countries. Where I add the most value: — Fine-tuning open-source LLMs for domain-specific accuracy — Agentic and multi-agent systems (.NET, Python, Angular) — AI safety audits and governance frameworks aligned to EU AI Act — RAG pipelines with measurable reliability improvements If your AI build is stalled, underperforming, or needs to pass a compliance review, message me with your challenge and I'll respond within 24 hours.
