What I'm looking for

I seek roles building production LLM/AI backends and platforms with strong emphasis on reliability, low-latency performance, and scalable cloud-native architecture, in teams that value engineering best practices and knowledge sharing.

I am an AI engineer with 4+ years designing and deploying cloud-native, production-grade systems for LLM-powered applications, focused on reliability, observability, and real-time performance.

I have built scalable FastAPI backends, RAG architectures, and multi-agent pipelines on Azure and GCP, delivering measurable improvements such as a 93% reduction in reprocessing time and sub-second response times with custom caching.

I lead engineering practices and knowledge sharing—introducing Scrumban, running workshops, and improving delivery predictability—while contributing research and published datasets in IoT/Intrusion Detection.
