What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build production-grade applied AI systems and microservices with strong reliability. I want to own architecture decisions, ship measurable improvements in cost/latency, and develop robust test automation that reduces manual QA.

I’m a Software Engineer specializing in Applied AI and full-stack development, with a focus on building production-grade AI systems that teams can trust. I enjoy architecting solutions end-to-end—from orchestration and APIs to reliability-focused QA.

In my current role, I architected a custom Model Context Protocol (MCP) client from scratch and integrated Azure Server MCP to enable seamless AI model orchestration across distributed systems. I also built an end-to-end QA automation agent in Python with intelligent test generation and self-healing capabilities, reducing manual testing effort by 60%.

I consistently optimize for measurable results: I implemented semantic hashing to cut API costs by 45% without sacrificing test coverage, and added semantic caching to achieve 3x faster test execution for repeated scenarios. For engineering quality, I integrated Playwright MCP for automated browser testing with action recording and reusable regression scripts.

Previously, I led AI development work as a Team Lead for a period of full-stack AI delivery, architecting microservices with FastAPI and deploying Redis caching for faster, dependable APIs. I’ve also built AI-powered apps with React/Next.js and Python during training and internship stages, and I bring that same delivery mindset to collaborative teams, code reviews, and architecture decisions.
