experience

Sepal AI

Dec 2025 – present

Data Engineer · Observability & DevOps

  • Designed and operated a closed-loop LLM evaluation platform, with automated grading pipelines on ClickHouse, Grafana, and Prometheus. Validated grader accuracy across model iterations, on multi-tenant infrastructure.
  • Shipped evaluation methods into CI/CD pipelines (Great Expectations, contract tests, anomaly monitoring). Broken runs fell about 70%. Safety measurement ran continuously during model training.
  • Built a high-scale telemetry generation pipeline with user-behavior simulation, for RCA workflows. The coverage gaps it surfaced informed model improvements upstream.

EncryptMyWork

Aug 2025 – Dec 2025

Data Engineer

  • Stood up the multi-stage classification and ranking services (PyTorch, TensorFlow) behind abuse detection and content moderation. Optimized precision-recall to reduce false negatives on adversarial inputs.
  • Designed a real-time evaluation feedback pipeline on Kafka and Flink, with a human in the loop. Harm patterns from human review became automated model evaluation signals.
  • Wrote the evaluation observability dashboards (FastAPI, React, SSE, Grafana), with drill-down on model behavior across user segments at 99.9% uptime. They showed systematic benchmark gaps. Proposed red-team test sets against those gaps.

Kenexai

Jan 2021 – Aug 2023

Data Engineer

  • Built the real-time data processing architecture on Kafka, Flink, and Spark. It handled billions of events a day at 99.9% availability. Designed the data-quality checks in front of it, so inputs to the production scoring models stayed representative and unbiased.
  • Deployed and operated production ML models on AWS SageMaker, behind end-to-end validation pipelines. Built evaluation harnesses for drift, prediction quality, and failure modes (+35% revenue, +20% CSAT).
  • Expanded an Iceberg/Snowflake lakehouse to carry multimodal GenAI training data. Built lineage and validation layers under it, and latency fell about 60%. Drift-monitoring dashboards caught model regressions.

ZF Group

Apr 2020 – Dec 2020

Software Engineer Intern · Data and ML Platform

  • Debugged Linux production servers and analyzed network trace logs. Incident resolution time fell 18%. Wrote the readiness documents for those investigations.
  • Extended the Python-based auto-detection systems. Anomaly detection speed went up 19%, and false positives went down.
  • Automated the SQL and Python workflows over structured and unstructured data. Manual reporting time fell 22%.

projects

K8s Control Panel

Python · Kubernetes Python Client · Streamlit · Docker

A web-based Kubernetes management interface: deployment scaling, pod lifecycle operations, namespace-scoped RBAC. It removes the direct kubectl dependency for day-to-day cluster operations.

PTP Timed Risk with ClickHouse Replay

Rust · Tokio · ClickHouse · Prometheus · Grafana

A real-time risk and telemetry engine that streams synthetic venue data and runs pre-trade credit and price-collar checks. Ticks and decisions go to ClickHouse, with deterministic replay and minute TCA exports to a cold path. Zero packet loss across 10M messages. The risk gate itself runs live in the hall of demos ↗.

HPC LDM Content Generation & Retrieval Engine

U-Net · VAE · CLIP · ONNX · TensorRT

A latent-diffusion pipeline with point-in-time content embeddings and a context-aware latent space. Training ran on an HPC cluster of 10 H100 nodes, over the full Artbench and OpenImage data. Reduced FID 20% and brought inference latency to 1.84s.
