What I'm looking for

I want to build production enterprise AI—owning architecture for agentic RAG and Text-to-SQL, integrating secure privacy controls, and delivering measurable impact from deployment through iteration.

I’m a Senior AI Engineer focused on architecting production enterprise AI systems—especially LLM-agnostic platforms delivering Agentic RAG, multi-agent orchestration, and Text-to-SQL at scale. At 8bit.ai, I built semantic/keyword/hybrid enterprise search with Milvus and Elasticsearch, and engineered ReAct-style multi-agent workflows that enabled reasoning, query decomposition, tool use, and autonomous operations.

I also drive model and system performance through fine-tuning and efficient inference using vLLM and SGLang, deploying open-source models on GPU clusters within a model-agnostic architecture. I’ve delivered solutions to 4 enterprise customers, including chatbot-driven workflows built with Activepieces that reduced operational workload by 27% and improved analytics turnaround time.
