Hire the Best Unsupervised Learning Specialists

OVERVIEW I'm an Expert-Vetted (Top 1%) Fractional CTO and founder of Torchstack, an AI product studio. I help startups and mid-market companies make high-leverage technical decisions and ship real products. 100% Job Success on Upwork. 12 studio projects delivered. NVIDIA Inception Program member. WHO AM I? During my PhD training (AI x biomedical), I published 7+ papers in top-tier journals such as Nature Communications and secured $100K+ in NIH and DOE research grants. Since then, I've spent my career as a data scientist, software engineer, and technical lead - building AI/ML systems, deploying applications to production, and working with the latest and greatest in AI, including computer vision, large language models, and AI agents. Results from that work: payment anomaly detection saving >$100K/year for a government AI system. Drug discovery timelines cut by 6+ months in biotech R&D. 15+ startups guided from concept to market and funded. Technical orgs built from scratch to 10+ engineers. WORKING TOGETHER I work two ways, depending on what you need: • Advisory: You get me directly, 1:1. Technical strategy, data and software architecture, due diligence, investor prep, AI roadmap, and all. Best for founders with a team who need senior technical judgment to steer it. Typically 5-10 hrs/month at $120/hr. • Build: I architect the solution and bring in vetted Torchstack specialists (engineers, designers, data scientists) who execute under my direct oversight. I stay your single point of contact. Team rates are $60-$100/hr, depending on role. Most engagements start with a paid AI Strategy Assessment, which is a 2-week audit of your current systems with a prioritized roadmap. It's the fastest way for both of us to figure out what you actually need. Either way, I'm on every call, reviewing every deliverable, and owning the outcome. FAQs Q: What tech stack do you work with? A: We're stack-agnostic, and we choose what fits your stage and budget. Examples of tech stacks used in past projects include AI/ML (LLMs, computer vision, predictive analytics), Python, React/Next.js, Node.js, AWS/GCP/Azure, microservices, and data infrastructure. Q: What if we need to move fast? A: I have a vetted team ready to go. We've delivered full builds from kickoff to launch, and we run sprints with weekly demos, so you can follow progress. Q: What makes you different from other fractional CTOs? A: Three things: 1. I solve problems based on first principles, bringing in my research background and my previous experiences working with companies/startups. 2. I run an AI product studio, and we can go from strategy to shipped product without you managing additional contractors or vendors. 3. Our team balances using the latest-and-greatest in AI with internally-built processes that have been refined over each engagement, resulting in faster deliveries and higher quality outcomes.

Top Rated Plus | Top 10 Machine Learning Agency on Upwork | $500K+ Earned | 8+ Years in AI & Software Engineering I'm an AI Engineer building production-grade AI agent and RAG systems, not simple prompt wrappers. With 8+ years in software engineering and AI development and $500K+ earned on Upwork, I hold Top Rated Plus status and our team is ranked among the Top 10 Machine Learning agencies on the platform. I work with companies that need an AI system to actually run in production, handle real user traffic, and stay accurate, not a demo that breaks on the first edge case. As an AI Engineer, my core work covers retrieval-augmented generation pipelines, agentic workflows with tool calling and structured outputs, prompt engineering, and LLM integration with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini APIs. This is the kind of system clients need an AI Engineer for: not a chatbot that answers FAQs, but an agent that retrieves the right information, calls the right tools, and follows through on what the user actually needs, with hallucination reduction and evaluation built in from the start. As a Machine Learning Engineer and Data Scientist, I build systems for structured and time-series data: demand forecasting, anomaly detection, biomedical signal analysis, and structural health monitoring. My data scientist workflow covers Python, scikit-learn, pandas, NumPy, and SciPy alongside deep learning frameworks including TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Keras, with experiment tracking and evaluation metrics to ensure models perform consistently in production. When a project needs predictive or classification models alongside the AI agent itself, I own that layer too as a Machine Learning Engineer. As a Computer Vision Engineer and software engineer, I build object detection, multi-object tracking, pose estimation, and image segmentation systems using OpenCV, YOLO, and deep learning architectures. Where this intersects with the AI Engineer work is in multimodal systems and computer vision agents: I work with Vision Language Models (VLMs) to build AI pipelines that understand images and video, not just text. Most AI Engineers only work with text. I bring production computer vision and deep learning experience on top of the LLM layer, which matters for any product where the AI needs to see, not just read. On the engineering side, I work as a Python developer and software engineer building backend services with FastAPI, vector databases including Pinecone and pgvector, and LangChain or custom orchestration for multi-step agent logic. When a project needs full ownership of both the AI layer and the surrounding application, I work as a Full Stack AI Developer, handling backend APIs, database design, and frontend integration so the AI system ships as a complete product, not just a backend script. I work with a specialized team that includes a computer vision PhD, deep learning researchers, and mathematical optimization specialists. This lets me scope larger systems, split orchestration, retrieval, and evaluation work across the team, and deliver a full AI Engineer and Machine Learning Engineer engagement faster than a solo contributor could, with the software engineering discipline of clean APIs, logging, and testing baked in from day one. Clients typically work with me when they need: - an AI Engineer to build a RAG pipeline, AI agent, or chatbot that actually works in production - a Machine Learning Engineer or Data Scientist to build predictive models or structured data pipelines - a Computer Vision Engineer to add visual understanding or VLM-based reasoning to an AI product - a Software Engineer who understands LLM orchestration, tool calling, vector search, and backend architecture - a Python developer who can own the full stack from model training to deployed API If you need an AI Engineer and a software engineer with the full stack from prompt design to production deployment, let's talk. Main stack: Python, OpenAI API, Anthropic Claude, Gemini, LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, FastAPI, Pinecone, pgvector, TensorFlow, PyTorch, Keras, OpenCV, YOLO, Docker, PostgreSQL, JavaScript, Git.

As experienced employees retire, critical knowledge is being lost. AI is transforming how organizations create and deliver learning, while many companies continue to struggle with outdated training, disconnected systems, and programs that fail to improve performance. Most organizations know they need to modernize—they just aren't sure where to start. That's where I come in. I help leaders make informed decisions about learning, technology, AI, and workforce development by evaluating emerging technologies, preserving institutional knowledge, modernizing learning ecosystems, and building scalable solutions that accelerate onboarding, improve performance, reduce risk, and support long-term organizational growth. Whether you need to modernize legacy training, capture critical expertise before it's lost, build engaging eLearning, produce professional training videos, implement an LMS, or develop an enterprise learning strategy, I provide practical guidance backed by real-world execution. Clients partner with me because they need more than someone who builds courses—they need an experienced learning strategist who understands both the business and technology behind workforce development. With 20 years of instructional design experience and more than $1 million earned on Upwork, I've partnered with startups, Fortune 1000/500/100 companies, government agencies, healthcare systems, nonprofits, and higher education institutions to solve complex learning and performance challenges.
