> PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Generative AI Engineer (Remote) | Reality AI Lab – San Francisco, USA

Jan 2025 – Sept 2025
  • Workflow Orchestration: Designed complex ML workflows with multi-step dependencies using FastAPI and LangChain, ensuring deterministic execution, retry logic, and failure isolation.
  • Unified Model Serving: Integrated Vertex AI and custom model endpoints behind a common serving layer, optimising throughput and tail-latency.
  • Reproducibility & Validation: Implemented structured validation of model inputs and outputs, enabling consistent evaluation.
  • Data Pipelines: Built automated ETL workflows to ingest, clean, and version unstructured datasets for downstream ML usage.

AI Engineer & Mathematical Evaluation Specialist (Remote) | TELUS Digital – USA

Oct 2024 – Jan 2025
  • Model Benchmarking: Designed mathematically grounded benchmarks to evaluate reasoning and failure modes in large language models.
  • Reproducible Evaluation: Built repeatable evaluation pipelines with clear metrics and versioned datasets.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Worked closely with researchers to translate evaluation insights into actionable improvements.

Machine Learning Engineer (Remote) | MoniMoore – London, UK

Jun 2023 – Nov 2024
  • End-to-End ML Pipelines: Architected reusable ML pipelines covering training, validation, deployment, and monitoring using AWS SageMaker, reducing manual intervention by 90%.
  • Compute Efficiency: Redesigned cloud compute strategy using spot instances and autoscaling, achieving £100k (20%) annual cost savings.
  • RAG Systems: Built production-grade Retrieval Augmented Generation pipelines integrated with Pinecone (BERTScore: 87%).
  • Production Robustness: Deployed comprehensive monitoring (CloudWatch + custom metrics), reducing system downtime by 25%.
