I'm a Machine Learning Engineer II with 4+ years building production ML systems at the intersection of model architecture, systems engineering, and user experience.
I have strong architectural understanding of ViT-based vision models and convolutional detectors like YOLO. I've deployed foundation models (SAM 2 / SAM 3) in human-in-the-loop, real-time workflows where precision matters more than automation. 🎯
When I'm not optimizing inference latency or building React frontends with WebGL visualizations, you'll find me at my desk with that foggy mountain wallpaper, probably debugging why my Docker container refuses to cooperate.

Led R&D for AI-assisted digitization workflows, integrating Segment Anything Model (SAM) into a geospatial platform for prompt-based, real-time segmentation of drone imagery.
Designed a high-concurrency RTI server using parallel, async WebSockets for low-latency, hover-based prediction interactions. Smooth like butter.
Optimized model pipelines for 2x performance improvement, enabling use of lower-cost GPU instances and significantly reducing infrastructure overhead.
Reduced end-to-end inference to sub-100ms by re-engineering SAM2 state management and freezing the image encoder. Speed is a feature.
Mentored a cross-functional team on production ML standards, leading the transition from research PoC to horizontally scalable cloud infrastructure.
Architected and delivered 10+ production ML workflows, consolidating fragmented models into a unified pipeline. 75% faster model onboarding.
Fine-tuned a ViT-based multimodal architecture using LoRA adapters, extending RGB vision pipeline with DEM modality via mid-fusion architecture.
Improved inference throughput by 33% by strategically merging LoRA layer weights back into base model. Fewer FLOPs, same quality.
Led hyperparameter optimization for complex unsupervised ML algorithms, achieving 20% direct improvement in model accuracy.
Implemented feature-specific post-processing algorithm: immediate accuracy ↑. Visual consistency for high-stakes client demos. 💼
Designed a cross-platform, Docker-based inference ecosystem with memory-safe tiling and batching for multi-gigabyte GeoTIFF processing.
Fine-tuned a YOLO-based object detection model for domain-specific targets, achieving 93% detection accuracy through dataset curation.
