I build resilient backend and applied AI systems serving millions of users.
What I'm looking for
I've built applied AI platforms at xAI and Clari, including real-time search for Grok that improved citation accuracy from 70% to 94% and AskClari, a LangChain and RAG platform serving 1,000+ organizations across 100M+ documents.
I design agent orchestration, incident-response tooling, data pipelines, and high-availability backend services. My work includes reducing model-quality detection time from three days to two hours and orchestrating 50+ cross-functional data streams with Airflow.
Previously at Zeta, Drishti Labs, BigBasket, Spoyl, and Happay, I built event-sourced systems, authorization modules, payments workflows, observability standards, and performance improvements for platforms serving up to 15M+ monthly active users.
