Summary
I build machine learning systems that improve both model quality and production efficiency, with hands-on work across inference, recommendation, search ads, and applied NLP. I built a production inference engine from the ground up and implemented high-performance GEMM, sparse-attention, and fused kernels, improving inference performance by up to 200%, while enabling 10+ newly released model families for production.
I also develop practical ML solutions that move business metrics. My work has improved latency, throughput, impressions, content consumption, retention, and automated resolution rates through recommendation models, graph retrieval, knowledge distillation, and NLP pipelines. My background in analytics and mathematics helps me turn complex models into reliable systems that perform well at scale.
