Principal Cloud & GenAI engineer delivering scalable, production-ready AI and DevOps platforms.
What I'm looking for
I am a strategic, detail-driven software engineer and principal Cloud & GenAI engineer who builds scalable, modular platforms across cloud, DevOps, and Generative AI. I design end-to-end GenAI ingestion-query systems that integrate LLMs, agentic technologies, and real-time data to deliver reproducible, enterprise-grade solutions.
I led architecture and implementation of a modular GenAI Knowledge Assistant that automates document parsing, semantic indexing, and query workflows using multi-cloud vector storage and MCP-based agent orchestration. I architected vector database solutions (Weaviate, Pinecone, ChromaDB), hybrid search pipelines, and standardized tool integration to enable Retrieval-Augmented Generation and reliable multi-LLM routing.
I also drive DevOps best practices: building CI/CD pipelines, zero-downtime cloud migrations, and reusable onboarding templates that accelerate delivery and reduce operational burden. I mentor teams, emphasize testable modular design, and champion future-proofing through traceability, documentation, and reproducible templates.
