Summary

I am an associate researcher at Huawei with a PhD in electrical engineering and computer science from York University, specializing in applying artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning operations (MLOps) to modernize energy systems. At Huawei, my primary focus is implementing and optimizing MLOps practices for energy efficiency and sustainability solutions. My responsibilities include
designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines for ML models,
automating model deployment processes and
ensuring seamless integration of AI solutions into existing energy management systems.
My leadership is evident in the development of scalable infrastructure for data processing and model training. I utilize technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes for containerization and orchestration, ensuring efficient and effective operations.

In addition to my MLOps work, I contribute to developing advanced predictive analytics algorithms and integrating quantum computing techniques for energy optimization. My expertise spans various programming languages and technologies, including Python, Julia, TensorFlow, and cloud platforms. I leverage this technical knowledge to implement robust monitoring and logging systems for ML models in production, ensuring their reliability and performance in real-world energy applications. Previously, I served as a Teaching Assistant at York University, where I shared my expertise in algorithm design and analysis with undergraduate students, further honing my skills in explaining complex technical concepts.
