AI & Machine Learning Architectures
Expertise in Deep Learning, Sequence Models (RNNs, LSTMs for NLP), CNNs, Reinforcement Learning, MLOps Pipelines, Model Evaluation Frameworks, as well as LLM and Prompt Engineering Foundations. Formal training through the Deep Learning Specialization (Coursera, Andrew Ng) with a grade of 96.67%.

GPU Inference & LLM Serving
Hands-on experience commissioning and optimizing bare-metal NVIDIA HGX H200 inference servers, deploying large language models via vLLM with tensor/expert parallelism, building highly available LLM gateways using LiteLLM, HAProxy, keepalived/VRRP, Patroni/etcd PostgreSQL clusters, Redis Sentinel, and observability stacks with DCGM/Prometheus/Grafana. NVIDIA-Certified Associate in both AI Infrastructure & Operations and Generative AI LLMs.

Cloud & Distributed Systems
Proven track record architecting and deploying high-performance distributed systems on the Microsoft Azure Ecosystem, including Azure Batch, Compute Fleet, Scale Sets, Databricks, Data Factory, and App Services. Orchestration of compute fleets with up to 8,000 vCPUs, leveraging Docker, Kubernetes (Polyaxon, Kubeflow), and Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA).

Engineering & Automation
Strong background in Data Pipeline Engineering, Workflow Automation, Numeric Determinism, High-Performance Computing, Algorithm Optimization, and CI/CD Templates. Designed custom post-parallel ordering deterministic reduction strategies to guarantee bit-wise identical numerical results across varying compute scales.

Programming Languages & Tools
Proficiency in C#, C/C++, Python (TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-learn, Pandas, NumPy), MATLAB, JavaScript/TypeScript, SQL, Grafana, and Power BI. Applied across production pipelines, algorithm development, and data science workflows.

Reinforcement Learning & Multi-Agent Systems
Architecture of robust Reinforcement Learning agents for complex multi-agent environments, including end-to-end data pipelines, feature engineering layers, action masking, distributed training paradigms, and custom evaluation frameworks.

MLOps & Model Deployment
Design and launch of end-to-end scalable MLOps and machine learning data pipelines, transitioning experimental models into production-ready containerized solutions using MLflow, Polyaxon, and Kubeflow on bare-metal cluster servers.

Transfer Learning & Computer Vision
Application of transfer learning and advanced supervised deep learning to architect high-performance models for automated optical inspection, achieving significant reduction of false positives while maintaining strict recall targets.

Bare-Metal Provisioning & Platform Tuning
Experience with MAAS bare-metal provisioning, BIOS and platform settings tuning for GPU throughput (NUMA/NPS1, IOMMU passthrough, ACS, Resizable BAR, power and C-state configuration), and Ansible/GitOps deployment automation.

Project history

AI System Engineer (Freelance)

Yoursafe BV
Commissioned and optimized a bare-metal NVIDIA HGX H200 inference server (8x H200) for a DNB-regulated fintech, deploying Qwen3.5-397B via vLLM with tensor/expert parallelism, 262k context and chunked prefill, tuned through structured load benchmarking (AIPerf). Tuned BIOS and platform settings for GPU throughput. Built a highly available LLM gateway with dual LiteLLM nodes behind HAProxy with keepalived/VRRP, a Patroni/etcd PostgreSQL cluster and Redis Sentinel, deployed via Ansible/GitOps with DCGM/Prometheus/Grafana observability. Deployed and debugged an OpenClaw-based AI agent fleet on approximately 200 Apple Mac Mini nodes.

Lead Distributed Systems & Compute Architect (Freelance)

ASR Nederland NV
Architected, designed, and deployed the core framework of a high-performance distributed calculation engine for complex risk models, migrating legacy structures onto the new platform. Orchestrated a massive compute fleet using Azure Batch, Compute Fleets, and Scale Sets. Resolved critical multi-threaded floating-point drift issues by designing a custom post-parallel ordering deterministic reduction strategy. Provided technical leadership and mentorship to junior and mid-level model developers.

Cloud Migration & Enterprise Infrastructure Specialist (Freelance)

PACCAR
Led the architectural transition of the after-sales department mission-critical repair and maintenance applications from legacy on-premise Microsoft servers to Microsoft Azure. Reconfigured and modernized multiple underlying app services to support secure, seamless enterprise authentication. Established secure network infrastructures by configuring cloud firewalls, access rules, and secure environment settings.

Algorithm Developer

ASML
Translated intricate functional specifications for advanced optical asymmetry corrections into high-quality, maintainable C# code within the YieldStar metrology processing ecosystem. Collaborated within a large, multidisciplinary engineering team to integrate specialized technical logic into automated, reliable production pipelines. Engineered custom noise-defense mechanisms and outlier detection layers to fortify the processing pipeline against sensor anomalies and data noise.

Software Architect & Data Scientist / Product Line Manager

Prodrive Technologies
Designed and launched end-to-end scalable MLOps and machine learning data pipelines, transitioning experimental models into production-ready containerized solutions using MLflow, Polyaxon, and Kubeflow on bare-metal Zeus cluster servers. Leveraged transfer learning and advanced supervised deep learning to architect high-performance models for automated optical inspection, reducing false positives from 11% to 5.6%. Integrated Microsoft Azure Databricks and Azure Data Factory to automate high-volume data ingestion, structuring, and feature engineering workflows. Architected an in-house manufacturing execution system (MES) as part of a large, service-oriented architecture (SOA). Served as Product Line Manager within the Data Science team.
