AI/ML ENGINEER @ Optum

About

AI/ML Engineer with 5+ years of experience designing and deploying enterprise-scale machine learning and Generative AI systems across healthcare and financial domains. I specialize in building end-to-end intelligent platforms — from data ingestion and feature engineering to model deployment and real-time monitoring — using cloud-native architectures and distributed compute environments. I have led development of production AI solutions that: Increased model performance by up to 18% Reduced inference latency by 40% Improved pipeline throughput by 35% Processed datasets exceeding 50+ TB Cut manual operational effort by 40% My technical strengths include RAG architectures, LLM optimization, clinical NLP, domain-adapted transformers, predictive modeling, and MLOps automation. I’m experienced in deploying scalable AI systems using Databricks, PySpark, Kubernetes, MLflow, Airflow, and Azure AI services, with strong emphasis on governance, fairness, and regulatory compliance (HIPAA, PHI handling). I enjoy solving complex real-world problems using AI and collaborating cross-functionally with engineers, product leaders, and domain experts to deliver solutions that are technically robust, interpretable, and production-ready.

● Using Python, Jupyter Notebook, TensorFlow, PASCAL VOC, and Selenium, I was able to provide significant outcomes in object detection and image processing during my internship. I demonstrated my adeptness in web scraping and data acquisition by skillfully extracting large-scale image data from several online sources using the Selenium web driver. I showed a resolute dedication to accuracy in item tagging by carefully using the PASCAL VOC annotation standard. I demonstrated my proficiency in data preprocessing and quality control by ensuring annotation uniformity using tools like labelImg and VGG Image Annotator. ● My expertise included sophisticated data pretreatment methods and a thorough comprehension of the YOLOv4 object detection concept.where I achieved excellent accuracy by using transfer learning to fine-tune the model. By assessing model performance using measures such as mean average precision, I demonstrated my adeptness in analysis. I contributed to real-world deployment by showcasing my expertise in testing and evaluating models. I stayed up to date on AI breakthroughs since I'm committed to ongoing improvement, which improved workflow efficiency. I successfully shared my work and insights in a cooperative team setting, which helped the project succeed.
