What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build reliable, high-load backend and agent systems where observability, incident response, and cost-aware design are first-class. I want to apply RAG, memory patterns, and failure-mode stress testing to production-grade AI infrastructure.

I’m a Senior Backend Engineer with 6+ years building production-grade agent infrastructure and high-load distributed systems. I independently designed and shipped a multi-stage web agent (Stagehand + Playwright + LLM orchestration) with token-usage accounting, learning loops, and cost controls—now indexing hundreds of targets daily.

I bring deep experience with agent memory patterns, RAG pipelines, non-deterministic system design, and observability-driven reliability. I focus on building systems that can tolerate uncertainty, measure what matters, and recover gracefully in production.

Recently, I architected end-to-end observability for scheduled workloads (CloudWatch → SNS → Slack), with reusable CDK alarm wiring and runbook links embedded into alerts. I also improved reliability and correctness by eliminating order nonce collision errors and strengthening transaction validation, reducing failed orders by 90% across 5k daily transactions.

I also delivered platform and data capabilities as a Founding Engineer, including unified Neo4j-backed middleware for scaling, public API reliability (99.9% SLA across 250 endpoints), and agent-focused crawling pipelines with token accounting, learning loops, and cost controls. I’m currently researching AI alignment, agent identity surfaces, and failure-mode stress testing in production-like settings.
