- Introduced internal ML automation using code-generation tools to accelerate routine pipeline scripting and tooling, cutting engineering turnaround on recurring tasks and improving developer productivity.
- Optimized production inference pipelines through MLflow experiment tracking, hyperparameter tuning, CI/CD integration and AWS monitoring, improving inference efficiency and deployment reliability by 22%.
- Built and evaluated Scikit-learn and XGBoost models on policy and claims datasets to identify retention drivers and improve risk prediction, increasing model accuracy by 16%.
- Processed high-volume structured and unstructured insurance records using SQL, PySpark and Azure Synapse Analytics to feed underwriting models and enterprise reporting.
- Applied Azure AI Named Entity Recognition to extract financial and policy entities from documents, automating parts of document review and reducing manual extraction effort.
- Designed a regulatory compliance RAG pipeline using LangChain, ChromaDB and Azure AI Search for enterprise document indexing and cross-referencing of policy language, cutting manual lookup time by 30%.
- Implemented model monitoring and explainability using Azure Monitor and SHAP reports and integrated Azure DevOps CI/CD, reducing validation and deployment turnaround by 28%.
- Accelerated pipeline scripting and unit-test coverage using GitHub Copilot, shortening development cycles for validation jobs and automation scripts.
- Developed predictive analytics solutions using Scikit-learn and XGBoost to forecast customer behavior and operational trends, improving decision-making accuracy by 22% for enterprise reporting.
- Consolidated large-scale transactional and operational datasets from PostgreSQL, MongoDB and data warehouse environments to support forecasting and KPI analysis pipelines.
- Built classification and regression pipelines using Random Forests and SVM with feature engineering to strengthen customer segmentation and operational performance analysis.
- Migrated legacy reporting into automated ETL pipelines using AWS Glue, Pandas and SQL, reducing manual reporting effort by 40% across analytics teams.
- Configured MLflow, Docker and CI/CD pipelines to maintain model versioning and streamline deployments, improving release efficiency for enterprise ML applications.
- Delivered interactive BI dashboards with Power BI and Tableau to monitor operational metrics and accelerate reporting turnaround by 30% for cross-functional stakeholders.
Projects
- Built a Retrieval-Augmented Generation platform using LangChain for LLM orchestration and LlamaIndex for document indexing to enable contextual retrieval across enterprise documentation.
- Implemented semantic search and vector storage with Pinecone, used PostgreSQL for metadata and caching strategies to improve response relevance for internal knowledge queries.
- Containerized LLM workflows and tracked experiments using Docker and MLflow to support scalable deployment and monitoring of AI-powered search services.
- Designed a real-time recommendation engine using PyTorch with Neo4j graph modeling to personalize content ranking based on user interactions.
- Orchestrated streaming pipelines with AWS Kinesis and PySpark to process high-volume engagement events and update recommendations dynamically.
- Tuned collaborative filtering and ranking models with Optuna and Scikit-learn to improve click-through rate by 18% in prototype deployments.
- Engineered automated ML deployment workflows using MLflow, Docker and Kubernetes to streamline model versioning and container orchestration across clouds.
- Provisioned training and inference environments on GCP Vertex AI and implemented monitoring to reduce model degradation incidents and improve stability.
- Automated validation and CI/CD processes with Jenkins and pipeline scripts to accelerate reliable releases in multi-cloud environments.

Documentation- Free Job BoardFree
Verified jobs, posted in the last 3 days
verified openings crawled ATS-by-ATS from 100,000+ real company career pages across 35 ATS platforms. Shows the true posting date from the source ATS — not when a listing was indexed — and deletes every general listing 3 days after it was actually posted. No ghost jobs, no ad-sponsored listings, no staffing reposts, no account needed.
Documentation - Job Hunt ProgramFrom $199.99
We run your job hunt for you
managed job hunting, a one-time purchase from $199.99. JobScout matches verified roles to your real experience band, Blend AI writes a uniquely tailored resume and cover letter for every application, and the Autofill extension fills the form — or Let Us Apply submits it for you.
