What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build production-grade AI platforms and scalable backends in agile, cross-functional teams—owning RAG/GenAI, distributed systems, and cloud deployments end-to-end, with room to grow into deeper AI architecture leadership.

I’m an AI & Backend Engineer with 3+ years of experience architecting scalable systems and production-grade AI solutions. I specialize in Python (FastAPI, Django) and Java, bringing hands-on experience across Generative AI, RAG architectures, and NLP pipelines.

I deliver end-to-end products—building REST APIs, microservices, and cloud-native systems on AWS/GCP—and I’m comfortable owning distributed-system challenges from design through deployment. In my current role, I architect scalable AI-driven backends and orchestrate cloud deployments using serverless and containerized solutions.

I also lead end-to-end Generative AI initiatives, building RAG solutions and agent-oriented AI workflows that connect LLMs with enterprise APIs for contextual reasoning and real-time natural language operations. Most importantly, I led the deployment of a production AI conversational platform that enabled natural language access to scientific documentation and reduced research retrieval time by ~30–35%.
