## About

```text
At New Work SE, I architected a multi-period VAT calculation engine for dynamic tax rates across billing cycles and an automation system for B2B tax compliance using EU VIES integration.

I also designed an event-driven callback architecture and built enterprise billing dashboards with React and GraphQL. Earlier, at eSpace, I re-architected Rwaq as a multi-tenant MOOC platform and designed core LMS features, including a custom payment gateway.

In 2026, through the Turing College AI Engineering program, I designed, built, and shipped four LLM applications covering semantic search, teaching agents, documentation assistance, and job description analysis. Each has its own evaluation harness, and I worked as architect and reviewer, setting data models, failure behavior, and evaluation while reviewing AI-generated TypeScript and Next.js implementation.

My core stack is Ruby on Rails and PostgreSQL, alongside experience with RAG, tool-calling agents, and semantic search.
