What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build and ship production AI systems that combine NLP/RAG with event-driven Python backends—prioritizing measurable business impact, scalable vector search, and strong observability for reliable operations.

I’m a Senior Applied AI Engineer with 6+ years building and shipping production AI systems and Python backend platforms. My work focuses on the intersection of NLP, event-driven infrastructure, and enterprise automation—shipping OCR pipelines, RAG-powered knowledge systems, and semantic compliance engines used in live logistics and customs operations.

I’ve led backend architecture for production AI platforms, including a logistics orchestration engine, a customs NLP compliance system, and an enterprise RAG knowledge base built with Python/Django and Kafka for async processing at 50K+ events/day. I also built AutoTrip for shipment planning—using geospatial clustering, vehicle-capacity optimization, and route planning—to reduce delivery trips by 18% and improve fleet utilization by 25%.

I design AI orchestration workflows with vector-search systems and observability-enabled infrastructure for high-volume operational processing. From deploying an OpenAI GPT-4 + ChromaDB RAG platform that answers from 10K+ internal documents in under 30 seconds, to reducing incident detection time from hours to minutes with Prometheus/Grafana/Loki, I aim to deliver reliable, measurable impact.
