What I'm looking for

I'm looking to keep building reliable production LLM and AI systems, especially RAG, agentic workflows, evaluation, and ML platforms where I can turn real user needs into scalable solutions.

I've built production AI systems and LLM platforms across Zion International University, Outlier AI, and Orion Press, supporting real users, complex workflows, and data-driven decisions.

At Zion International University, I built an LLM-powered academic assistant with LangChain and the OpenAI API, engineered RAG and semantic-search pipelines, and created agentic workflows for multi-step academic processes. I also developed predictive models to identify at-risk students and deployed scalable services across AWS, GCP, Firebase, Docker, and Kubernetes.

At Outlier AI, I evaluated model behavior across Python, JavaScript, and SQL, ran prompt-engineering experiments, and traced hallucinations, failure modes, and code-quality issues back to their root causes. I built repeatable evaluation methods and feedback loops that informed model training improvements.

Today, I build ETL pipelines, data models, dashboards, monitoring, and self-service analytics at Orion Press while pursuing an M.S. in Data Science and a certificate in Generative & Agentic AI. I believe in learning by building and focus on shipping systems that work reliably at scale.
