What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable production AI systems with strong CI/CD practices, collaborative cross-functional teams, and opportunities to optimize performance and drive measurable product impact.

I am a Senior AI Engineer with deep experience building and deploying production-ready AI solutions, specializing in LLM evaluation, RAG systems, vector databases, and AI agent infrastructure. I consistently translate complex technical requirements into high-value business outcomes while working remotely across time zones.

My background includes architecting AI agent frameworks, diagnosing performance bottlenecks to achieve 55–90% reductions in token generation, and designing CI/CD pipelines with Docker and Kubernetes for seamless production deployments. I have engineered RAG-based platforms, voice-enabled AI systems, and high-concurrency services with sub-second response times.

I contribute to open-source projects and prioritize measurable impact: 100% Upwork Job Success across 25+ projects, core contributions to a 16K+ star framework, and enterprise deployments with 99.9% uptime. I write clear technical documentation and collaborate cross-functionally to deliver scalable, reliable AI products.
