What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can architect cloud-native, scalable platforms and lead end-to-end delivery—combining .NET engineering with practical AI (LLMs, RAG, and voice/computer-vision) while collaborating with strong teams and clear business goals.

I’m a Technical Architect / AI Engineer with over 15 years of experience architecting, engineering, and delivering large-scale enterprise solutions across SaaS, ERP, CRM, Telecom, Insurance, and Healthcare. I focus on designing resilient, scalable, cloud-native architectures and aligning end-to-end delivery with business objectives and performance standards.

I build with .NET Core and modern web platforms (ASP.NET MVC, Web API, React.js, Angular) and deploy using AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, Helm, and CI/CD (including Azure DevOps). I’ve led distributed Agile teams, implemented robust pipelines, integrated complex third-party APIs, and governed architecture decisions to deliver enterprise-grade outcomes—often with automated reporting and orchestration through Power BI and Power Automate.

My AI work centers on practical, production-ready systems: Generative AI and LLM-based solutions, RAG architectures, and voice-enabled experiences. I’ve designed retrieval pipelines (e.g., exact/fuzzy matching plus vector similarity), built text-to-SQL using prompt engineering and schema-aware context, and developed computer vision pipelines (YOLOv8 detection, tracking, and event detection) with scalable, modular backend engineering.
