Building enterprise AI safety systems and MLOps platforms that protect millions of users.

About

Senior AI/ML Software Engineer at Cisco with a track record of shipping enterprise-scale AI safety systems and MLOps platforms. I lead cross-functional teams to deliver production ML solutions—from LLM guardrails protecting millions of users to synthetic data pipelines that cut development time by 90%. I'm looking for technical leadership roles where I can drive high-impact AI initiatives from conception to production.
