Senior AI/ML Infrastructure Architect
& MLOps Engineer
13+ years building production-grade LLM platforms, RAG systems, and scalable hybrid AI infrastructure that actually ships.
Senior AI/ML Infrastructure Architect and MLOps Engineer with 13+ years designing, deploying, and optimizing scalable hybrid cloud and on-prem AI platforms. I specialize in production LLM serving, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems, vector databases, and custom LLM solutions in Python, Rust, and C++.
I’ve led MLOps transformations that delivered 70–80% faster deployments, 99.99% uptime, and substantial cost and performance gains across enterprise environments.
Currently at Naturally Artificial of Pennsylvania, I architect bare-metal LLM inference platforms and containerized AI products that power real customer workloads at scale. Previously I led machine learning teams at PNC and drove major containerization and CI/CD initiatives at BNY Mellon.
Architecting and deploying scalable hybrid bare-metal LLM inference platforms integrated with containerized applications and APIs. Supporting 100k+ daily inferences with sub-500ms latency (3× speedup).
Led a cross-functional team of 4 engineers building and deploying production ML models and MLOps pipelines for financial analytics and risk applications.
Led major modernization of release engineering and infrastructure in highly regulated environments.
Principal build and automation engineer for enterprise financial reporting platforms.
Custom Retrieval-Augmented Generation system for executive decision support. Built full RAG architecture with specialized high-accuracy variants for marketing, form generation, and strategic analysis using vector databases and advanced prompting. Achieved 95% retrieval accuracy and 65% latency reduction.
Production hybrid platform combining bare-metal GPU inference with containerized front-ends and APIs. Supports 100k+ daily inferences at sub-500ms latency. Full MLOps lifecycle automation with comprehensive SecOps controls (zero-trust, encryption, AI-powered gates).
