[Post-Training | ML Systems & Performance | Optimization]
Results-oriented machine learning engineer with several years of experience building optimization and machine learning applications. Proven ability to drive technical vision, mentor engineering teams, and deliver impactful solutions leveraging large language models (LLMs), MLOps, containerization, and orchestration technologies. Experienced in project management, personnel training, development and mentoring of young engineers.
I am focusing on AI/machine learning, optimization frameworks, and high-performance computing. To build better models, I am expanding my knowledge of LLM fine-tuning and alignment techniques through Hugging Face courses: Smol Course , LLM Course and reading related LLM research papers.
1. LLM Alignment Evaluation & Optimization Framework (Self study HuggingFace Course: Smol Course)
- Target Focus: LLM Fine-Tuning, Instruction Tuning, Preference Alignment, DPO, Reinforcement Learning / ML Systems
- Core Tech: Python, PyTorch, PEFT (QLoRA), Transformers, TRL
2. Cloud-Native Distributed High-dimensional Simulation and Optimization Engine (Large-scale multi-year project)
- Target Focus: ML Systems & Performance / Stochastic Optimization / High-dimensional simulation
- Core Tech: Python, Kubernetes (GKE), Docker, Microservices, REST APIs
- System Capabilities: Some aspects of the project are described in my published paper: "Taming Complexity: Building and Deploying a 270KLOC Integrated Scientific Application" (Presented at ELS'26).
- Scale: Containerized, multi-threaded worker pools on Kubernetes designed for massive, automated parallel exploration of high-dimensional parameter spaces.
- Repo. (Note: The project's repository is not hosted publicly due to restrictions, so the link shows a Gource visualization of the repository.)
- Data analysis Analysis of Docker images build times and Kubernetes (K8s) manifest synchronization times.
- Infrastructure & MLOps: Kubernetes (GKE), Docker, Ray, High-Performance Computing (HPC), Microservices
- Languages: Python, Go, Common Lisp (Symbolic Knowledge Systems)
