Applied AI engineer with 7+ years of hands-on delivery, most of it embedded with client and stakeholder teams — from McKinsey's QuantumBlack and Toptal engagements to biotech, hedge-fund, and trading clients. Works the whole path: scoping the highest-value use case, choosing the architecture (models, agents, retrieval, guardrails), shipping a prototype fast, proving it with evals, and hardening it for production.
Production AI systems. Built an end-to-end pathology ML system on AWS for a global biobank; a 50+ agent autonomous trading platform running live capital behind a fail-closed governance layer; conversational agents that plan and act through browser and desktop automation (Pydantic AI, Playwright); and RAG and semantic search backends (LangChain, LlamaIndex, FastAPI) on Azure. Fine-tunes open-source foundation models with LoRA/PEFT and SFT — H-Optimus-0 (vision), Kimi-Audio (audio), FinGPT and FinRobot (finance) — and serves them with vLLM and NVIDIA Triton.
Evaluation. Treats evals as the backbone of any AI launch: representative datasets, programmatic graders and rubric checks, reference solutions and negative controls, and repeated-rollout analysis (pass@k, trajectories, failure modes). Most recently designed RL environments and verifiable tasks for evaluating frontier coding agents, contributing to Toptal's ExpertCrowd SWE Benchmark.
Reliability, cost, and governance. Cut LLM pipeline token costs 50% with the OpenAI Batch API, rewrote latency-critical paths in Rust, and runs MLOps automation (Kubeflow, Vertex AI, MLflow, CI/CD) for continuous training and monitoring. Designs for enterprise requirements from day one — access control, zero-trust networking, encryption, audit trails, and data-usage policies.
Has led data and MLOps teams, mentored engineers, and translated technical results into business decisions for executives — on GCP, AWS, and Azure, in Python, TypeScript, Go, and Rust.

ExpertCrowd SWE Benchmark, built on the HUD platform. Designed and shipped RL environments and verifiable tasks used to train and evaluate frontier coding agents — owning each task end to end, from reproducible sandbox setup through grader design, validation, and deployment. Tasks were contributed to Toptal's ExpertCrowd SWE Benchmark dataset, built and evaluated on HUD's RL environment platform.
Impact: Runner-up contributor to Toptal's ExpertCrowd SWE Benchmark dataset, ranked on accepted, high-quality RL tasks.
