WORK HISTORY
Principal Machine Learning Engineer @Palo Alto Networks
At Palo Alto Networks, I design scalable ML pipelines for threat detection, leveraging GenAI and LLM-based embeddings in production. My work integrates transformer based feature extraction models to build deep semantic representations of real-world data. I’ve architected solutions combining approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) search with vector databases for large-scale deduplication and similarity analysis, using tools like Vertex AI, Kubeflow, and FAISS. Focused on efficiency and impact, I enable continuous retraining, model optimization, and secure deployment across millions of evolving samples.
