> AI/ML Engineer at OpenAI | LLM Training & Alignment (SFT, RLHF) | Distributed Systems (PyTorch, DeepSpeed) | GenAI & AI Safety | 5+ Years Experience

Location: Detroit Metropolitan Area, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/bandhavya

I’m an AI/ML Engineer with 5+ years of experience building scalable large language model (LLM) training, alignment, and real-time ML systems used in high-impact production environments.


At OpenAI, I work on multi-billion parameter Transformer training, Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT), and Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) pipelines to improve reasoning depth, factual consistency, and safe-response alignment. I’ve helped improve human evaluation scores by 25%+ while reducing training time by 30–35% using distributed multi-GPU optimization with PyTorch and DeepSpeed.


Previously at HCLTech, I led development of a real-time fraud detection platform processing 5M+ transactions daily with <200ms latency, improving fraud detection rates by 24% while reducing false positives.


My core strengths include:


• Multi-GPU distributed LLM training

 • SFT & RLHF workflow implementation

 • AI safety guardrails & evaluation frameworks

 • Large-scale data curation (100M+ samples)

 • Quantization, distillation & inference optimization

 • Real-time ML systems (Kafka, Spark)

 • Production-grade MLOps & cloud deployment


I specialize in taking advanced AI research systems and turning them into scalable, production-ready platforms that serve millions of users reliably and safely.


Open to Senior AI roles in LLMs, GenAI Infrastructure, and AI Alignment.
