What I'm looking for

I’m looking to join immediately and build production-ready AI products—LLM/RAG systems and scalable web applications—in a collaborative environment, with room for continuous improvement. I’m flexible for hybrid, onsite, or remote work.

I’m a Software Engineer with 4+ years of experience building scalable web and AI-driven applications using Python and JavaScript/TypeScript across production systems.

I specialize in LLM-based solutions—especially Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), prompt engineering (zero-shot and few-shot), and continuous learning to improve real outcomes. I’ve built vector embedding pipelines and retrieval via vector index search, then integrated GPT models with web search and external APIs for more up-to-date responses.

In my current role at Fraunhofer FOKUS, I develop and maintain an internal HCM platform using TypeScript and React.js for 200+ employees, and I delivered an internal LLM chatbot pilot. I also built an NLP sentiment analysis model for review classification and optimized MySQL queries to improve response speed and usability by 40%.

Previously at Cognizant, I led end-to-end development, built backend interfaces for LLM API workflows (including tool-calling patterns), and mentored 5 junior developers. I’ve also automated CI/CD with GitLab, resolved production issues with structured debugging and Postman, and continuously collaborate in Agile Scrum environments with code reviews, sprint planning, and architectural discussions.
