What I'm looking for
Senior AI Engineer with 7+ years building production systems from zero to scale. I work across the full stack but go deepest on AI engineering and backend infrastructure.
Core expertise: Python, Go, TypeScript. Built production AI systems including RAG pipelines achieving 95%+ accuracy, multi-agent orchestration with MCP and tool use, conversational agents with guardrails, and document intelligence platforms processing millions of documents. Experience with OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, LangChain, LlamaIndex, vector databases (Pinecone, Qdrant, pgvector), and fine-tuning with LoRA/QLoRA.
I've built end-to-end: from React/Next.js frontends to FastAPI/Node backends to Kafka event pipelines to Kubernetes deployments. Strong experience with PostgreSQL, Redis, and cloud infrastructure on AWS/GCP/Azure.
What I bring: I think from first principles, ship fast, and own problems end-to-end. Comfortable being dropped into complex codebases, debugging production issues, and working directly with customers to understand what actually needs to be built. I've led teams, mentored engineers, and delivered systems that handle real scale.
Looking for AI engineering, full-stack, or forward-deployed roles where I can solve hard problems and ship things that matter. Remote preferred.
