What I'm looking for

I'm looking for remote or relocation opportunities where I can lead production agentic AI and LLM systems, partner directly with product and client teams, and ship reliable customer-facing AI products.

At Coding Cops, I lead architecture and delivery for enterprise agentic AI products, building LangGraph-based agents, persistent memory, vector-search pipelines, and MCP integrations for customer-facing releases.

I've led Ronin for 2Quip, a Claude-powered voice and chat agent platform across four product surfaces, and Calculum, an AI procurement-negotiation SaaS using self-hosted Qwen, LangGraph, Qdrant, and FastAPI. I also built Lango, a real-time healthcare voice AI platform using WebRTC, Kafka, Pinecone, and LangGraph.

Before AI-focused work, I built event-driven backend systems at Strategic Systems International and production platforms in logistics, real estate, and cloud applications. I bring seven years of software experience, four-plus years in applied AI/ML, and an MS in Artificial Intelligence from LUMS.
