Experience
- ML Engineering: Designed a scalable AI model backend service (DB, API) using an event-driven serverless architecture. Established a Kubernetes-based model deployment, reducing costs by 80%. Developed and extended open-source Python SDKs for interacting with the platform.
- Cloud Engineering: Led the migration of a heterogeneous legacy AWS stack to Kubernetes using Terraform (IaC), resulting in a 60% cost reduction, enhanced fault tolerance, and streamlined maintenance. Established compliance rules within the organization (SOC2).
- DevOps: Maintained and expanded CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, ArgoCD) for backend and application deployments, and introduced coding standards to increase agility.
- AI Research: Investigated and implemented AI solutions to address customer challenges, utilizing state-of-the-art large language models (LLM) for text matching and information extraction applied to millions of records.
