Lead GenAI/ML Engineer | Agentic Workflows | Cloud Native AI
As a Lead GenAI Engineer at Transporeon, I architect and deliver enterprise-scale AI solutions that transform how global supply chains operate. With 7+ years of experience spanning ML research to production leadership, I specialize in designing LLM-driven agentic systems, RAG frameworks, and multi-agent orchestration that solve complex business challenges at scale.
I lead cross-functional teams through the entire AI lifecycle, from translating product vision into cloud-native microservices architectures to implementing robust CI/CD pipelines and production monitoring with Datadog and Databricks. My approach balances innovation with pragmatism: leveraging cutting-edge GenAI capabilities while ensuring security, data integrity, and operational excellence across multiple time zones.
In this fast-evolving field, I stay at the forefront of LLM innovations including fine-tuning, RLHF, prompt engineering, and emerging agent frameworks. I'm equally committed to team enablement: mentoring junior engineers, driving knowledge sharing, and fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous learning.
Beyond my day-to-day leadership, I actively contribute to the GenAI community through open-source projects on GitHub and technical articles on Medium, believing that collaborative innovation is key to advancing the field.
