• Cost Savings – Saved over $120,000/year by aggressively optimizing Airflow DAGs, BigQuery costs, and GCP compute workloads.
• Speed Improvements – Reduced execution time by 80% by rewriting bloated Python ETL jobs into async, caching-heavy microservices.
• AI Moderation – Built self-learning AI moderation engine with CNN+RNN hybrid models to detect offensive content across platforms.
• Security – Uncovered critical security holes in data ingestion layer—patched before they reached production.
• Scalability – Scaled event processing from 50K/day to 10M+/day, implementing autoscaling queues and zero-downtime deploys.
• Genomics – Designed serverless genome analysis system for biomedical data using Lambda, Batch, S3, and 50-step Step Functions.
• DevOps – Migrated monolith to microservices and reduced CI/CD deploy time from 60 mins to 4.5 mins.
• Leadership – Led high-stakes client negotiations with C-levels on ML infrastructure, compliance, and performance SLAs.
• Airflow Optimization – Refactored legacy Airflow DAGs with dynamic mapping & XCom suppression — halved orchestration overhead.
• API Modernization – Rewrote fragile Flask API into robust FastAPI backend with typed endpoints and 5× faster response time.
• Team Building – Hired, mentored, and scaled elite teams of Python, ML, and DevOps engineers across 4 countries.
• Computer Vision – Designed real-time image classification flow using TensorFlow Lite + OpenCV, used in moderation pipelines.
• Financial ETL – Reduced financial data reconciliation latency by 94%, implementing parallelized async pipelines across 3 cloud regions with transactional guarantees.
• LLM Integration – Integrated LLM-powered assistants into internal tools — accelerated analyst workflows by 6× and reduced support tickets by 70%.
• FinTech ML – Led cross-border rollout of a risk scoring engine for financial institutions, blending real-time Kafka streams and explainable ML models.
• Product Thinking – Collaborated directly with VC-backed C-suite execs, translating vague business ideas into scalable, cloud-native architectures with zero vendor lock-in.
• Model Maintenance – Developed AI feedback loop retraining system for production models based on user signals & drift detection.
• Automation – Reverse-engineered undocumented APIs and built full automation wrappers around them in under a week.
• Internal Tools – Created internal service marketplace — sold 6+ tools to partner teams, increasing org-wide reusability.
