AI & Machine Learning Engineer

Building production AI systems that remember, recommend, and moderate at scale.

I design and ship applied AI products across RAG, GraphRAG, recommender systems, content moderation, computer vision, and scalable ML infrastructure.

Proof of scale

Systems shipped where reliability, latency, and trust matter.

1.4M+ User graph nodes modeled for recommendations
70K+ Daily comments routed through ML moderation
25K+ Daily short-form videos processed by AI safety systems
22K+ Unstructured files transformed into searchable knowledge

Selected systems

Applied AI work shaped as products, not demos.

Each system connects modeling choices to product outcomes: retrieval quality, schema validity, safety throughput, ranking performance, and stakeholder trust.

AideMeet

Persistent GraphRAG meeting intelligence

Built a meeting-memory layer that turns transcripts from sales, HR, onboarding, support, and 1:1s into grounded Q&A, action items, follow-ups, and evolving contact memory.

  • LangGraph multi-agent orchestration
  • Pinecone and ChromaDB retrieval backends
  • Evaluation across faithfulness, latency, WER, and schema validity
Pingtop

Creator recommendation and ranking engine

Architected a hybrid recommendation system combining matrix factorization, graph neural networks, content signals, vector search, and LightGBM ranking.

  • 1.4M+ user nodes and 10M+ relationships
  • Neo4j graph mapping with Qdrant embeddings
  • 120% growth in follow engagement
AI safety systems

High-throughput moderation pipelines

Scaled ML moderation for video, comments, and profile images with transformer models, confidence calibration, asynchronous queues, and cloud deployment.

  • 25K+ videos and 70K+ comments processed daily
  • ViT classifiers with Logistic Regression and SVM thresholds
  • Google Vertex AI, Pub/Sub, AWS EKS, and SQS

Experience

A track record across AI infrastructure, ML products, and data-heavy workflows.

From early data science work to production-grade AI platforms, the throughline is turning messy operational problems into reliable ML systems.
