๐Principal AI/ML Engineer โ 13 years ยท Expert-Vetted (Top 1% on Upwork)
I build production AI systems end to end โ from the bare-metal GPU infrastructure all the way up to the product your users actually touch. Not prototypes that die in a notebook: real, deployed, monitored systems that hold up under load.
For 13 years I've designed, trained and shipped AI across large language models, generative AI, computer vision, speech and NLP โ for clients in insurance, healthcare, finance, public safety and media. Today I run the on-prem GPU infrastructure behind a national AI platform, serving a 753-billion-parameter language model (GLM-5.2) across a 32-GPU NVIDIA B200 cluster that handles 1,000+ users at once.
โญ What I can do for you
๐น LLM serving & cost optimization โ Kill your per-token API bill. Self-host open models (GLM, Qwen, Llama, Mistral, Kimi) on your hardware or cloud with vLLM/SGLang: tensor and expert parallelism, FP8 quantization, high concurrency, low latency, predictable cost.
๐น Fine-tuning & custom models โ SFT, LoRA / QLoRA and full fine-tunes tailored to your domain and language, including hard low-resource languages. (I fine-tuned Whisper for Uzbek to 10.5% WER and built custom neural TTS voices from scratch.)
๐น RAG & knowledge systems โ RAG with hybrid dense+sparse retrieval, rerankers, vector and graph DBs (Qdrant, Pinecone, Neo4j, NebulaGraph), plus evaluation so you can prove it got better.
๐น Computer vision โ Vision and speech, not just chatbots. Face analytics, object detection and tracking, OCR and document pipelines, health-from-video (heart rate, SpO2, BMI), real-time multi-camera video, streaming voice agents, AI calling systems, voice cloning, image and video generation.
๐น AI agents & automation โ Multi-agent systems, document processing, LLM-powered classification and extraction, and end-to-end workflow automation.
๐น Generative AI โ Image and video generation, avatars, voice cloning, text-to-speech and speech-to-text. GPU infrastructure that stays up. Bare-metal and cloud clusters, CUDA, multi-node inference, autoscaling, load balancing, monitoring, CI/CD. The layer most freelancers leave you holding.
๐ฆ HOW ENGAGEMENTS START
โข Cost audit โ I look at what you spend on tokens or cloud GPUs and tell you what self-hosting or a smaller fine-tune would actually cost.
โข Prototype-to-production rescue โ it works in a notebook or a demo; I make it survive real users, real load, real uptime.
โข Build from zero โ model choice, infra, backend, deployment, monitoring, handover docs.
โณ๏ธ HOW I WORK
โข We agree on the target first: latency, cost per request, accuracy, concurrency. Numbers, not vibes.
โข I build inside your environment: your cloud or your hardware, your repo, your keys. You own all of it.
โข You get infrastructure-as-code, a runbook and working monitoring, not a model file and good luck.
โข You talk to the person writing the code. No account manager, no team behind me.
โข Straight answers. If a smaller model, cheaper hardware or no AI at all is the right call, I say so before you spend.

DATA SCIENTIST โ everything I build, you can verify the math.
I deliver transparent, auditable data models where every number can be checked. Specializing in quantitative research, statistical modeling, Data insights and automation.
QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH & PORTFOLIO CONSTRUCTION :
I build and backtest equities, with live execution and kill switches on Alpaca where needed. Position sizing, risk allocation, rebalancing logic, all of it grounded in the math, not gut feel.
Quick example of how I think: a momentum strategy covering 145 stocks was delivering 41% CAGR. Expanding to 245 stocks dropped it to 36%. Counterintuitive. The root cause: New stocks were selected on hot recent momentum, so by entry their cycle was already done. Built a 5-filter Monte Carlo system, tested 700+ parameter combinations, to identify which satellites are early-cycle vs peaked. Result: 43%+ CAGR with lower drawdown than the 145-only baseline. The problem wasn't the strategy. It was the timing of entry.
Another example: I built a live MBS (Mortgage-Backed Securities) forecasting and trading system for a fund client, covering 265+ cohort securities across weekly, monthly, and quarterly return horizons. The interesting part wasn't the ML, it was the feature design. Standard technical indicators on bond prices are noise. What actually drives MBS price movements is duration, convexity, prepayment rates, regime variables like curve steepness, VIX, and Fed MBS holdings. Every feature built from first principles, nothing borrowed from a vendor that can't be verified.
This is where I spend most of my time. Systematic backtests, portfolio construction, Monte Carlo optimization. No black boxes, no ML hype every output can be checked in a spreadsheet.
Not "add more data." Find the actual structure driving returns, and build features that reflect it.
DATA SCIENCE & ANALYTICS
I've worked across real estate, e-commerce, and financial analytics, usually called in when a team has data but no clear answer yet. I focus on getting to a decision you can act on, not a 40-slide deck.
Results worth mentioning:
ML automation cut a client's data processing from 286 days to 1 day, after they'd run the same manual process for two years without realizing it was automatable
Ad spend attribution model that improved campaign ROI by 25%
WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT
โธ I show my work. Every model, every analysis, every number comes with the method behind it, so you're never trusting a black box
โธ I'd rather tell you a strategy doesn't hold up than build you something that looks good and fails in real world.
โธ I scope real problems fast: send me what you're working with and I'll tell you within 24 hours if and how I can help
