AI Platform Engineering
End-to-end AI platform work — not just an API call to OpenAI behind a chat widget. Data pipelines, model selection or fine-tuning, evaluation, and the MLOps to keep it from regressing in production.

What this looks like
Models & fine-tuning
- Foundation model selection (open + closed weights) by task fit and cost
- Fine-tuning, LoRA, and instruction-tuning where it earns its keep
- Classical ML and neural-net models when LLMs are the wrong tool
Pipelines & RAG
- Data prep, embedding, and vector store design
- Retrieval-augmented generation with chunking + reranking
- Agent orchestration with tool use, memory, and guardrails
MLOps & evaluation
- Eval harnesses with regression tests on prompt + model changes
- Tracing, observability, cost attribution per request
- Model promotion gates and rollback paths
