I’m an Applied AI Engineer with 5+ years of experience building and deploying production-grade AI/ML and Generative AI systems. I’ve worked across Machine Learning, RAG, Agentic AI, LLM inference, recommendation systems, forecasting, and MLOps. Previously at Samsung R&D, I worked on production AI systems involving Agentic RAG, hybrid retrieval, reranking, LLM evaluation, and LLM inference using Llama 70B, vLLM, Kubernetes, and AWS EKS. I’ve built systems operating at scale, including RAG platforms over 10K+ financial reports and AI applications supporting 3K+ customer tickets per day. My experience also includes building ML solutions for demand forecasting, recommendation systems, marketing optimization, and experimentation, giving me a strong foundation across both traditional ML and modern GenAI. On Topmate, I help aspiring and transitioning AI Engineers build the right skills, choose the right projects, understand production-grade AI architecture, prepare for technical interviews, and navigate their transition into AI/GenAI roles.
