Summary

I’m an AI/ML Engineer with a background in Computer Engineering and hands-on experience building production-grade machine learning and LLM-powered systems. My work spans intelligent automation, large language model integrations, and applied ML pipelines across enterprise and startup environments.

I’ve designed and implemented systems that combine LLM reasoning with real-world data sources and APIs, including intelligent ticket handling, codebase assistance, and ML-driven automation tools. I’m currently a Senior AI Engineer at AAA, building AI-powered automation and LLM-driven applications.
