I build production AI agents and legal NLP systems that improve decisions.
What I'm looking for
At Quantistry, I lead the architecture and delivery of production multi-agent services, including a conversational AI gateway that turns research goals into simulation pipelines and a text-to-SQL retrieval agent. I reduced inference across 74% of simulation traffic and cut end-to-end latency by about 65% by engineering a deterministic fast-path router.
Previously, on Clearlaw, I built the NLP core for contract analysis: clause classification, NER, relation extraction, and structured fact and obligation extraction across 660 clause classes and 80 fact classes. I fine-tuned legal transformers, shipped an on-premise ML stack, and built an auto-tagging annotation pipeline that cut annotation time by 80% for a five-person team.
Across legal tech, HR recommendations, insurance, media, and chemical manufacturing, I've taken ML work from research and experimentation through production deployment. I'm looking to bring this hands-on depth in AI agents, deep learning, NLP, and end-to-end ML systems to challenging new problems.
Experience
Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
- Provided technical leadership on the multi-agent services: scoped the architecture, drove design decisions, and coordinated cross-team collaboration with different teams in a company.
- Developed two production agentic services: platform's primary conversational AI gateway based on multi-agent service (Python, pydantic-ai, FastAPI, PostgreSQL) that allows users translate their research goals an
