Machine Learning Engineer | SaaS Veteran

Bridging 15+ years of scalable SaaS experience with 18 years of AI research.

About Me

I’ve always been fascinated by intelligent systems. Long before AI was mainstream, I was experimenting with neural networks, genetic algorithms, and producing hybrid prototypes. With 15+ years of SaaS engineering and a Master’s in AI, I now bridge research-level AI with production-grade software practices.

  • 2007–2025: Staff/Senior Software Engineer in SaaS
  • 2006–Present: Independent AI research (neural nets, conv nets, ICA/PCA, evolutionary algorithms)
  • 2021–2024: Master’s in Artificial Intelligence
  • 2024–Present: Transition to ML Engineering

Projects

Financial Market Signal Decomposition

Pipeline using PCA + rolling ICA to isolate latent return components from OHLCV data.

Repo TBD

Hybrid Transformer-LSTM Forecasting

Transformer encodes volatility & price → initializes LSTM → predicts mean & deviation.

Repo TBD

Learnable Fuzzy Logic Layer

Custom fuzzy layer built on clustered latent embeddings for interpretable decision-making.

Repo TBD

Why Hire Me

I bring something rare: the ability to merge research-level AI with enterprise-scale software engineering.

  • Production-Grade Engineering: 15 years building SaaS systems
  • Depth in AI: 18 years of independent study + Master’s degree
  • End-to-End Builder: From research → prototyping → deployment
  • Interpretable Thinking: Designing models for both accuracy and transparency
