Experience
Senior AI Engineer, Agentic Systems | Nimbus AI Labs
- Designed a multi-agent customer-support system (planner + tool-use + critique loop) that resolved 38% of tickets without human escalation.
- Built a RAG pipeline over 1.2M internal documents with hybrid BM25+dense retrieval; lifted answer faithfulness from 71% to 92% on internal eval set.
- Established an LLM-as-judge evaluation harness covering 14 task families; cut regression detection time from 3 days to 25 minutes.
- Reduced inference cost 41% via prompt caching, smaller routing models, and selective LoRA fine-tunes.
Machine Learning Engineer | BlueOrbit Data
- Shipped 6 production ML models for fraud, ranking, and recommendation across 3 product surfaces.
- Owned the feature store and online model-serving stack on Kubernetes; sustained p99 latency under 80ms at 25K RPS.
- Mentored 4 junior MLEs and led the team’s migration from TensorFlow 1.x to PyTorch.
AI Projects & Automation
OpenAgentBench
- Open-source benchmark for multi-step tool-using agents with 22 tasks across coding, web, and analysis.
- Reproducible eval harness compares Claude, GPT, and open-weight models on success rate and cost.
