What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build production-grade LLM/RAG systems and automation workflows with a reliability-first mindset—clear scoping, strong evaluation, and engineering discipline. I want teams that value quality, iteration, and measurable impact.

I’m a Senior AI / Python Engineer who builds LLM-powered products with Python, FastAPI, LangChain, and LangGraph—owning backend architecture and end-to-end delivery. I focus on measurable quality by driving offline evals and model integration, not just demos.

I’ve led RAG-oriented flows, including retrieval logic and output validation, and I treat reliability as a first-class feature. I translate technical design and scoping into predictable delivery through pytest, Ruff, pre-commit, CI/CD, Docker, and Kubernetes.

Previously, I served as Head of Automation, leading internal automation and digital transformation platforms. I analyzed processes, identified high-value opportunities, and built scalable solutions across OCR, NLP, data extraction, classification, and computer vision using Tesseract, PyTorch, Transformers, TensorFlow, OpenCV, and DeepFace.
