About
I’m a Principal ML Engineer at Cleo AI in London, leading AI strategy for our financial assistant: LLM post-training, agentic architecture and evaluation. Before that I spent five years at Meta as an ML Lead in ads ranking, six years at Flipkart in search, and co-founded two startups.
I also sit on the other side of the table. I interview Staff+ level ML candidates and run mock interviews for engineers preparing for big-tech loops, so I know exactly where strong candidates lose points.
Who I work best with
Mid-to-senior ML engineers preparing for Senior/Staff interviews at FAANG-level companies or top startups
Senior engineers aiming for Staff, Principal or a tech-lead/manager move
Engineers moving between big tech and startups, in either direction
How I can help
ML & LLM system design: realistic mock rounds (ranking, recommendations, RAG, agents) with written feedback
Project deep-dives: shaping your past work into a Staff-level story with clear scope, trade-offs and impact
Behavioural interviews: building a story bank that shows leadership and influence
Career strategy: what Staff+ actually looks like day to day, and how to get promoted or hired into it
