Senior Machine Learning Engineer
Jul 2026 - Present
- Tech Lead, Agentic Infrastructure: Lead the infrastructure work behind production agents, from evaluation and deployment to observability and day-to-day operation
- Built and shipped AI Shopping Assistant serving a 200K-user experiment -- a Python/LangGraph agent with product card integration with shoppable product cards (catalog search, web search, 4.2M normalized images at 18x cost efficiency), episode-based conversation history (DynamoDB + S3), and production observability (Opik, OpenTelemetry, Grafana), deployed on AWS ECS Fargate
- Built end-to-end LLM evaluation system -- a continuous improvement loop connecting offline evaluation (golden dataset), online monitoring (production traces), and human annotation (judge calibration), with CI/CD deploy gating that blocks releases on quality regression
- Led Multi-Agent Matching Framework: cross-functional team of 4 engineers; improved match rates by 3.1-3.3 percentage points (73.8%→76.9%) unlocking $165M in GMV; achieved 15% full automation with LLM-as-a-Judge guardrails at 97% accuracy, automating 50+ hours of manual operations to 2 minutes
- Developed 3-agent annotation workflow using LangGraph with LLM annotation at 80%+ accuracy to reduce double-annotation to single annotator, cutting total annotation workload by 40% while maintaining dataset quality through human tie-breaking on disagreements
- Fully automated RAG pipeline to flag incorrect product matches at 95% recall, protecting ~$800K in GMV annually; replaced manual workflow, reducing daily effort from 8 hours to 15 minutes and saving 40 hours weekly
