AI-focused software engineer building LLM microservices and optimized backend systems.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m an AI-focused software engineer who builds scalable backend systems for Generative AI. At CAI, I developed and scaled microservices for LLM applications, including an orchestration layer that dynamically routes requests across multiple LLM providers. I also engineered cross-format document parsing and resume-to-job matching using semantic analysis, plus a secure LLM code execution service with containerized Docker sandbox environments for validation and runtime isolation.
I bring strong performance and reliability improvements from production AI work. At GlobalLogic, I contributed to large-scale LLM training, validation, and optimization—driving a 22% improvement in factual accuracy and reducing latency by 5% while improving helpfulness by 4.23%. Previously at Amazon, I implemented MLOps practices in Python, built RESTful APIs for AI model dashboards, and integrated production monitoring using self-adjusting graphs across Python, JavaScript, and Java.
