Developed ML models for classification, ranking, and semantic similarity using TensorFlow, Scikit-learn, and Transformers, supporting 25K+ daily inferences with sub-250 ms latency.Built vector search pipelines with FAISS + custom embedding stores, reducing lookup latency from 420 ms → 240 ms and enabling 18K+ additional successful retrievals/month.Created end-to-end training pipelines for structured and unstructured data using Python, Pandas, NumPy, and tokenization workflows, reducing failed training runs by 150–180 per quarter.Performed large-scale conversational analytics using NLP preprocessing, embedding similarity checks, and drift analysis, reducing hallucination-type errors by ~1,300 per month.Authored ML documentation, schema maps,
