What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build and scale enterprise LLM/RAG products—evaluations, multi-tenant architectures, and distributed pipelines—where strong engineering meets measurable AI performance in a collaborative team.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years building scalable full-stack applications and production AI systems. I specialize in LLM-powered platforms, delivering enterprise-grade Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) experiences with semantic chunking, multi-tenant deployments, and robust evaluation pipelines.

In recent roles, I’ve built RAG platforms and AI agent workflows using LangChain and LangGraph, including synthetic data pipelines, distributed annotation systems, and cost-optimized embedding strategies. I pair strong API and system design fundamentals with cloud and DevOps execution—shipping across AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, and production observability to help teams move from prototypes to reliable AI.
