Principal Software Engineer building AI-enabled, scalable web platforms with React and LLM workflows.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Principal Software Engineer with 9+ years architecting and shipping production-grade web applications across startups, consulting, and enterprise environments. I combine React/Next.js full-stack delivery with deep AI/LLM integration to build intelligent, automated workflows that perform at scale.
Recently, I architected an AI-powered content automation platform using OpenAI and Gemini—improving user engagement by 30%—and delivered a production multi-tenant SaaS platform with strict per-tenant isolation for 15+ enterprise clients. I’ve also led LLM orchestration pipelines (LangChain, FastAPI, RAG), engineered high-throughput REST/GraphQL services with Redis caching (reducing latency 40%), and provisioned cloud-native infrastructure on AWS/GCP using Terraform/Ansible (cutting costs 25%), while mentoring teams and driving Agile execution.
