AI/ML Engineer | Fine-Tuning, Self-Hosted LLMs, Full Stack

I am an AI/ML engineer with 3+ years building production machine-learning systems, backed by a research track record: two accepted peer-reviewed papers, a two-time Google Summer of Code contributor, and published GPU work. What I can build for you: • LLM & vision-language fine-tuning — QLoRA/PEFT, dataset creation, evaluation, deployment-ready inference. • Self-hosted & open-source LLM deployment — running models on your own GPU servers for privacy, control, and lower cost. • RAG systems & AI agents — retrieval grounded in your documents, data, and tools, with evaluation and monitoring so it stays reliable in production, not just in a demo. • GPU & scientific computing — CUDA/CuPy/JAX acceleration, profiling, and pipelines that process terabytes of data • Full-stack delivery — FastAPI backends, React/Electron front-ends, Docker/Kubernetes, so the model ships as a real product your team can run How I work: define the use case, build the smallest reliable version first, test the edge cases, document everything, and hand you code your team can maintain after the contract ends. Core stack: Python, PyTorch, Hugging Face, CUDA/CuPy, FastAPI, React, Docker, Kubernetes. I am Top Rated Plus with 100% Job Success and I reply within a few hours. Tell me what you're trying to build and I will build it for you.
