What I'm looking for

I want to build production AI/LLM systems that scale with real users—fast APIs, async pipelines, and measurable quality gains. I’m looking for teams that value reliability, clean engineering, and shipping AI features end-to-end.

I’m a Software Engineer / AI Engineer with 5+ years of production experience, specializing in AI and LLM integration (for the past 3 years). I build async, scalable systems that turn user workflows and datasets into dependable AI-driven products.

At Xref, I built an AWS Bedrock insights engine on FastAPI serving 10,000+ daily users, using SQS/Lambda-powered async pipelines processing 20,000+ daily tasks. I also migrated a 10+ year-old Django monolith to microservices, splitting 5+ tightly coupled services to remove cross-team deployment bottlenecks.

I integrate LLM capabilities where they deliver measurable outcomes—OpenAI APIs for AI writing assistance and automated QA test generation cut manual QA by 30%. I also engineered Elasticsearch indexing pipelines to improve search accuracy and query performance across large HR datasets.

Previously at Squibler AI, I helped build the backend for an AI-powered book writing platform with real-time document collaboration for 3,000+ writers, and supported revenue impact through features like Version History. I’m equally hands-on with end-to-end AI product work through projects like PakGPT, Vidora, and Uplix.
