What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead and build AI-first products and resilient cloud-native systems, applying production Generative AI, agentic workflows, RAG, and machine learning to meaningful fintech, banking, and digital-product challenges.

I've built high-throughput fintech and banking systems for more than 20 years, with recent work centered on production Generative AI, agentic architectures, and RAG pipelines.

At NowNow Digital, I drive technology vision through hands-on prototypes for AI-first capabilities, digital twins, and multi-agent orchestration. Previously at Polaris Bank, I led LLM-assisted development adoption and modernization of enterprise applications into microservices and event-driven systems.

As Head of Engineering at ALAT Digital Bank, I led a 45-person cross-functional team while directing microservices refactoring onto Azure Kubernetes Service and shipping an OpenAPI platform for third-party B2B integrations. I also developed three production ML models serving roughly 700,000 monthly active users, including churn, segmentation, and recommendation systems.

I'm currently building PrepAI, a stateful technical-interview agent using LangGraph, Vertex AI Vector Search, Gemini 1.5 Flash, FastAPI, and Next.js. My work connects AI theory to cloud-native production realities, from retrieval relevance and latency telemetry to resilient multi-agent workflows.
