What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build LLM-powered, production-grade systems—RAG, agentic workflows, and enterprise automation—that cut manual work while preserving auditability, reliability, and measurable business impact across real operational workflows.

I’m an AI Engineer and computer scientist with production experience building LLM-powered systems, agentic workflows, and enterprise automation. I consistently translate complex technical architectures into scalable, business-ready solutions, reducing manual effort by 80%+ while maintaining data integrity and auditability.

My graduate research focused on LLM fine-tuning (LoRA, QLoRA) on custom domain-specific datasets and LangChain-based RAG pipeline development for code generation. I used PyTorch and Hugging Face to improve output accuracy by combining vector retrieval with context-augmented generation.

In industry, I’ve deployed GPT and Copilot Studio systems for knowledge automation and built integrations across financial operations (including NetSuite API/SuiteScript workflows). I also lead end-to-end automation projects—authoring requirements, mapping system architecture, and coordinating cross-functional delivery to deliver measurable operational improvements.
