What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build production-ready agentic AI and automation platforms—multi-agent orchestration, RAG, and cloud-native backends—focused on reliability, low latency, and measurable reductions in operational overhead at scale.

I’m a systems-oriented AI Engineer and Automation Architect with 11+ years of experience designing, deploying, and scaling enterprise-grade automation platforms and intelligent AI-driven systems. I specialize in multi-agent orchestration, autonomous reasoning workflows, and RAG, with a strong focus on building production-ready AI that reduces operational overhead and improves data reliability.

Across roles from Senior AI Architect to Full Stack/Automation engineering, I’ve delivered resilient, event-driven architectures and high-throughput Python orchestration services. I’ve modernized legacy knowledge and workflow systems, achieving measurable outcomes like 40% less data fragmentation and sub-second enterprise insight retrieval with 98% citation accuracy.
