    • Proven ability to lead cross-functional initiatives, communicate effectively, and collaborate in team-oriented environments.
    • A strong background in distributed systems, cloud computing, and MLOps, with hands-on experience in working with transformers and other deep learning architectures.
    • Bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and production-ready AI systems.
