SEEKING WORK

Email: rchrh.hn@gmail.com

ML Engineer and Data Scientist with 10+ years of experience helping early-stage organizations build ML/AI products from the ground up. I specialize in the data and model layer—RAG pipelines, evaluation frameworks, ML infrastructure and orchestration—working alongside other engineers handling agent applications and their orchestration. Experience includes MVP to production LLM integration, 0→1 ML infrastructure development, building and deploying end-to-end model pipelines from laptop to cloud.

Open to short-term projects and ongoing contracts, part and full-time with a preference for the former (fractional).
