experience
Sepal AI
Dec 2025 – presentData Engineer · Observability & DevOps
- Designed and operated a closed-loop LLM evaluation platform, with automated grading pipelines on ClickHouse, Grafana, and Prometheus. Validated grader accuracy across model iterations, on multi-tenant infrastructure.
- Shipped evaluation methods into CI/CD pipelines (Great Expectations, contract tests, anomaly monitoring). Broken runs fell about 70%. Safety measurement ran continuously during model training.
- Built a high-scale telemetry generation pipeline with user-behavior simulation, for RCA workflows. The coverage gaps it surfaced informed model improvements upstream.
EncryptMyWork
Aug 2025 – Dec 2025Data Engineer
- Stood up the multi-stage classification and ranking services (PyTorch, TensorFlow) behind abuse detection and content moderation. Optimized precision-recall to reduce false negatives on adversarial inputs.
- Designed a real-time evaluation feedback pipeline on Kafka and Flink, with a human in the loop. Harm patterns from human review became automated model evaluation signals.
- Wrote the evaluation observability dashboards (FastAPI, React, SSE, Grafana), with drill-down on model behavior across user segments at 99.9% uptime. They showed systematic benchmark gaps. Proposed red-team test sets against those gaps.
Kenexai
Jan 2021 – Aug 2023Data Engineer
- Built the real-time data processing architecture on Kafka, Flink, and Spark. It handled billions of events a day at 99.9% availability. Designed the data-quality checks in front of it, so inputs to the production scoring models stayed representative and unbiased.
- Deployed and operated production ML models on AWS SageMaker, behind end-to-end validation pipelines. Built evaluation harnesses for drift, prediction quality, and failure modes (+35% revenue, +20% CSAT).
- Expanded an Iceberg/Snowflake lakehouse to carry multimodal GenAI training data. Built lineage and validation layers under it, and latency fell about 60%. Drift-monitoring dashboards caught model regressions.
ZF Group
Apr 2020 – Dec 2020Software Engineer Intern · Data and ML Platform
- Debugged Linux production servers and analyzed network trace logs. Incident resolution time fell 18%. Wrote the readiness documents for those investigations.
- Extended the Python-based auto-detection systems. Anomaly detection speed went up 19%, and false positives went down.
- Automated the SQL and Python workflows over structured and unstructured data. Manual reporting time fell 22%.
projects
K8s Control Panel
Python · Kubernetes Python Client · Streamlit · Docker
A web-based Kubernetes management interface: deployment scaling, pod lifecycle operations, namespace-scoped RBAC. It removes the direct kubectl dependency for day-to-day cluster operations.
PTP Timed Risk with ClickHouse Replay
Rust · Tokio · ClickHouse · Prometheus · Grafana
A real-time risk and telemetry engine that streams synthetic venue data and runs pre-trade credit and price-collar checks. Ticks and decisions go to ClickHouse, with deterministic replay and minute TCA exports to a cold path. Zero packet loss across 10M messages. The risk gate itself runs live in the hall of demos ↗.
HPC LDM Content Generation & Retrieval Engine
U-Net · VAE · CLIP · ONNX · TensorRT
A latent-diffusion pipeline with point-in-time content embeddings and a context-aware latent space. Training ran on an HPC cluster of 10 H100 nodes, over the full Artbench and OpenImage data. Reduced FID 20% and brought inference latency to 1.84s.
