Senior Software Engineer
- Collinear AI builds the infrastructure and feedback loops that make LLMs safer, smarter, and more enterprise-ready.
- Its suite of products β Assess, Weaver, Guard, and Improve β cover the full lifecycle: generation β evaluation β safety β optimization β deployment. It is focused on fine-tuning, evaluating, and deploying Large Language Models (LLMs) for safe and high-performance use in enterprise environments.
- Its mission is to make LLMs more reliable, controllable, and domain-specific through continuous evaluation, reinforcement, and optimization loops.
- The company builds both developer-facing tools (SDKs, APIs) and enterprise products that integrate with existing data pipelines and infrastructure.
It was built for enterprise AI teams β specifically:
- AI/ML engineers fine-tuning and deploying foundation models in regulated industries (finance, healthcare, legal, pharma).
- AI safety & governance teams needing visibility into model behavior.
- Developers building internal copilots, RAG pipelines, or evaluation dashboards.
Example clients included large enterprises using private LLMs (GPT-4, Claude, or open-weight models like Llama-3, Mistral, etc.) and needing control, explainability, and compliance guarantees.
Main Features and Capabilities
- π LLM Evaluation Framework (Assess): Automated multi-criteria scoring for outputs.
- π‘οΈ Real-time Safety Layer (Guard): Output filtering, PII detection, compliance enforcement.
- π§© Synthetic Data Generation (Weaver): Multi-agent pipeline to augment fine-tuning datasets.
- βοΈ Continuous Fine-tuning (Improve): Feedback-driven retraining and reinforcement.
- π Dashboard & Metrics: Factuality, hallucination rate, toxicity, and drift tracking.
- π§ Multi-model Support: Works with OpenAI, Anthropic, Hugging Face, or self-hosted LLMs.
- π§° Developer SDK + API: Python SDK, REST, and GraphQL APIs for automation.
- At Collinear AI, I led the design and implementation of our Agentic AI and LLM platform architecture spanning evaluation, fine-tuning, and deployment pipelines.
- I built and managed multi-agent systems that automated red-teaming, data synthesis, and evaluation using LLMs-as-judges.
- I also implemented Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) workflows for factual grounding and contextual response evaluation across 100+ enterprise data sources.
- On the model side, I managed the fine-tuning and optimization pipeline using LoRA, QLoRA, and reinforcement fine-tuning (RFT) to continually improve our in-house and client-specific models.
- I designed and deployed scalable LLM inference services (FastAPI + vLLM/TGI) with monitoring, autoscaling, and cost tracking on AWS and GCP GPU clusters.
- Spearheaded the design, development, and deployment of the company's core Generative AI products, leveraging Python (FastAPI, PyTorch, Hugging Face Transformers, LangChain, MLflow) for backend and inference pipelines, and React.js, Next.js, TailwindCSS for scalable, user-friendly frontend interfaces.
- Championed CI/CD workflows using GitHub Actions, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and Helm, and implemented infrastructure-as-code (IaC) practices to automate end-to-end deployments across AWS/GCP GPU clusters, optimizing resource allocation and reducing model training iteration time by 40%.
- Engineered a backend experimentation and orchestration framework for synthetic data generation, multi-model evaluation, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, and self-instruct tuning, enabling rapid prototyping and deployment of agentic AI copilots and autonomous workflows.
- Implemented advanced LLM red-teaming and jailbreak detection pipelines, utilizing LLM-as-a-Judge, Langfuse, and adversarial prompt injection frameworks to automatically evaluate safety, robustness, and alignment of generative models against real-world attack vectors.
- Collaborated cross-functionally with research, product, compliance, and design teams to deliver safe, explainable, and regulatory-compliant GenAI solutions, incorporating observability (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana) and data privacy best practices for enterprise adoption.
- Overall, my strength was bridging AI research with production engineering β turning experimental LLM workflows into reliable, secure, and high-performance systems for enterprise deployment.
