Context

Elevating a culinary platform with AI-driven recommendations
I collaborated with Tastet, a local gourmet guide focusing on equity, diversity, and personalization.
Together, we worked on creating an innovative approach to culinary exploration.

Outcome

In our collaboration, we designed a comprehensive tech stack, orchestrating a seamless end-to-end pipeline for AI-driven recommendations. From data collection in a Google Storage bucket to a Docker container hosting a real-time recommendation API, every step was meticulously crafted for optimal performance.

How I Work

Ship It: I focus on getting AI systems into production — not just building prototypes. Research matters, but deployed systems matter more.
End-to-End Ownership: From data pipelines and model development to API deployment and monitoring, I own the full lifecycle of ML projects.
Iterative Engineering: I build in tight feedback loops — ship early, measure, improve. Continuous iteration leads to better systems.
Adaptability: Every problem is different. I move between LLMs, classical ML, computer vision, and full-stack development depending on what the problem demands.
