Medical-imaging AI on on-prem GPU edge devices. Models radiologists work from every day.

  • Cut inference latency 13× (2s to 150ms per scan) at 10K+ scans a day with no loss in precision, by converting PyTorch models to TensorRT and rebuilding model serving as containerized FastAPI services on on-prem GPU edge devices.
  • Cut model release-candidate turnaround from 4 weeks to 1 by building ML CI/CD with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Docker and Kubernetes, an MLflow model registry, and regression tests on a locked validation set.
  • Monitored drift and model health for the 10K+ scans/day service with Prometheus and Grafana, tracking data drift, service health and per-subgroup model performance to give early visibility into model and service issues.
  • Made every training run reproducible over 500GB+ of imaging data with Spark and Kafka pipelines, schema validation and automated data-quality gates feeding AWS SageMaker training jobs.
  • Trained models across 5 hospitals with zero patient images moved, by building the client-side training and evaluation pipeline for a federated learning pilot (Flower).
  • Helped cut radiologist review time 35% in an LLM pilot by building the LLMOps layer for a LangGraph report-drafting pipeline on Azure OpenAI: LangSmith tracing and automated checks for unsupported statements.

AI/ML Engineer, Fraud & Risk

Real-time fraud scoring where every flagged transaction has to make sense to an RBI auditor.

  • Served 5M+ real-time fraud scores a day at under 100 ms and 99.9% uptime by deploying containerized model endpoints on Azure ML and Kubernetes.
  • Turned model updates into scheduled, automated releases by building Kubeflow retraining pipelines with MLflow experiment tracking and model versioning, feature and score drift detection, and automated rollback.
  • Cut false-positive alerts 30% at 95% recall and fraud losses 35% by partnering with data scientists and fraud analysts to productionize an LSTM, Transformer and graph neural network ensemble.
  • Cut fraud investigation time 40% by attaching SHAP explanations to every flagged transaction and auto-generating case summaries in the format required by RBI auditors.
  • Improved model F1 22% with Pandas and Dask feature engineering pipelines over 1M+ labeled transactions.
