  • Theoretical knowledge in LLM/GenAI (RAG, Vector DB, Embedding, Fine Tuning, ReAct reasoning, LoRA, Prompt Engineering).

  • Proven experience to deploy LLM models with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure) and machine learning workbenches for robust and scalable productionisation.

  • Good knowledge of effective training and optimising language models to fit for internal infrastructure and ensure seamless integration.
