Contributed significantly to startup success by assuming multifaceted roles with strong focus on leadership, management expertise, and ongoing professional development.
- Agentic Content Workflow: Designed and built an agentic blog-post generation workflow that autonomously navigates hundreds of videos, identifies the most relevant moments, and assembles them into ready-to-publish clips with accompanying articles.
- Multi-Agent Orchestration: Architected multi-agent orchestration with LangGraph and the Claude Agent SDK, coordinating tool-calling agents and MCP-based integrations through stateful, human-in-the-loop agentic pipelines.
- End-to-End AI Pipelines: Built and productionized end-to-end AI pipelines spanning ingestion, model inference, and post-processing, with orchestration for reliable retries, observability, and low-latency throughput at scale.
- Streamer Detection (VLMs): Developed a streamer face detection and localization system using VLMs and project-specific configured models, with an additional real-vs-fake person classification stage.
- LLM/SLM/VLM Fine-tuning: Customized and fine-tuned LLMs, SLMs and VLMs (Phi, Gemma, Qwen, GPT, LLaMA families) for project-specific tasks. Built an efficient custom LLM pipeline for context recognition.
- Brand Safety System: Created text-based brand safety detection including STT, sentiment analysis, context translation, and a fine-tuned SLM that understands safety rules and generates output scores.
- Computer Vision: Built a multi-purpose unique asset-obstacle recognition and segmentation system using Segment Anything, feature extraction, and custom algorithms.
- Infrastructure & DevOps: Achieved significant cost reductions in AWS, Azure and GCP through strategic automation. Deployed and maintained solutions on microservices with CI/CD pipelines.
- Engineering Practices: Wrote clean code, unit and integration tests, and crafted comprehensive project documentation.
- Awards: Led LIVAD Studio to win IAB MIXX Awards '23 Gold and Brandverse Awards '23 Silver for In-Game Ads.
