What I Do

AI/ML Engineering, End to End

From model/API selection to production deployment — I deliver AI features that are grounded, monitored, and maintainable, not just demos.

🧠

LLM Integration & Agents

Multi-turn dialogue, intent handling, tool use, and multi-agent orchestration built on GPT, BERT, Codex, DialoGPT, and DALL-E-based flows.
