Python · MLflow · Streamlit

Topic Classification

An MLflow pipeline for training, hyperparameter tuning, prediction, class and slice evaluation, and experiment tracking. Streamlit views for data, performance, and inference.

Python · ChromaDB · Sentence Transformers

IMDb Semantic Search

Movie discovery by meaning, using all-MiniLM-L6-v2 sentence embeddings and ChromaDB to retrieve related movie metadata through a Streamlit interface.

02 / About

The engineering
around the AI.

I work at the point where machine-learning experiments become usable software. I care about model behavior, data quality, latency, failure handling, and the engineering work needed to move a feature into a product.

I work best with clear outcomes, technical ownership, focused execution, and purposeful collaboration across product and engineering teams.

Earlier, at Code Experts, I built Angular and Ionic interfaces for video-on-demand and taxi-booking products, contributed Node.js backend work, and built a WebSocket chat feature connecting drivers and riders.
