About Me
I'm a passionate about crafting enterprise-scale AI systems that blend cutting-edge research with robust engineering. My favorite work lies at the intersection of AI architecture and distributed systems, creating solutions that not only perform exceptionally but are meticulously built for scale and reliability.
Currently, I'm a Lead AI Software Engineer at U.S. News & World Report, where I act as the primary point of contact for cross-functional product teams, leading end-to-end design and execution of centralized AI hosting platforms serving millions of users daily.
In the past, I've had the opportunity to build AI systems at Forbes and Greedy AI, working on everything from propensity models to agentic frameworks. Additionally, I'm pursuing a PhD focusing on AI-driven HCI and enterprise AI adoption.

Experience
Lead AI Software Engineer @ U.S. News & World Report
Sep 2024 – Present
- Architected a centralized AI platform powering GenAI features across 5+ product lines and directed a distributed pod of internal and vendor SWEs.
- Engineered a multi-modal Generative AI system scaling to 100K+ daily users, driving ~$4M in projected annual revenue.
- Scaled a production Live AI Agent to 1M+ daily interactions with sub-second latency through INT8/FP16 quantization, cutting cloud costs by 30%.
- Developed AI Agent workflows and automated Model Evaluation (XAI) frameworks, saving 2000+ manual hours and $80k+ in OpEx.
Featured Projects
Hybrid AI Development & Inference Platform
Deployed on-premise AI environment serving fine-tuned models (Gemma, Qwen) with a high-throughput, multi-modal data ingestion pipeline processing 1TB+ of unstructured data daily from Jira, Git, and Confluence to support continuous model fine-tuning and all internal CI/CD and AI workloads.
