Senior Data Scientist
Optimizely
ML-focused Software Engineering Leader with 7+ years of experience specializing in NLP, Agentic AI, and Recommender Systems. I build production ML systems serving 10M+ users across enterprise and government organizations.
Currently at Optimizely, I architect full-stack ML systems including AI evaluation frameworks, agent memory systems, contextual bandit recommendation engines, and LLM-powered platforms. I lead cross-functional teams and drive measurable business impact through AI innovation.
My work spans the full ML lifecycle — from research and prototyping to production deployment at scale on GCP/GKE, with expertise in FastAPI, LangChain, RAG architectures, and MLOps.
Previously, I built healthcare NLP systems processing 500K+ patient records at Infolytx, and secured $2.5M+ contracts with international organizations including IOM, UNDP, UNODC, and WFP as a Business Analyst.
I hold a BSc in Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering from MIST and am pursuing an MSc in Computer Science & Engineering at UIU (4.0 CGPA).
