Machine Learning Engineer Agentic AI Systems Sunnyvale, CA

Writing & building agentic AI systems that reason, act, and hold up.

Machine learning engineer focused on production reasoning engines, agent memory, and event-driven RL. I turn ML research into deployable agentic systems: tool use, orchestration, evaluation, and robustness when conditions shift.
