What I'm looking for

I’m looking to own AI-powered features end-to-end—building agentic LLM/RAG systems, shipping reliable backend APIs, and running production DevOps with measurable performance, uptime, and autonomy.

I’m a Sydney-based Software Engineer who builds AI-powered products end-to-end—LLM APIs, RAG pipelines, and agentic workflows—then ships them reliably with strong backend engineering and DevOps ownership. I focus on turning complex integrations into maintainable systems that perform in production.

At Oribo.org, I architected and owned a community platform serving 200+ members across 3 cities, including authentication, social feeds, event workflows, and community tooling. I shipped RESTful backend APIs and relational database models for 1,000+ concurrent operations, ran end-to-end CI/CD with an observability stack, cut incident resolution time by 60%, and achieved 99.9% uptime.

Previously at Workzen Inc, I led system architecture, infrastructure, and DevOps as the sole engineer for an AI-powered hiring platform adopted by 20+ HR firms—scaling from 0 to acquisition in 16 months. I built agentic LLM pipelines for resume parsing and candidate evaluation (cutting manual screening by 70% and processing 5,000+ candidate profiles), integrated ATS/calendar/email/Slack via REST APIs and event-driven webhooks, and owned the full MLOps and production observability lifecycle from day one.
