AI operations and ML platform engineer at NETFLIX building production LLM agents, MCP integrations, and AI spend dashboards.

Message

At NETFLIX, I build production LLM agents and internal automations in Python and TypeScript, extending an MCP server to connect Claude with internal data sources and enforce authentication and department-level access controls. I’ve also developed reusable LangGraph agent frameworks and RAG pipelines, and created dashboards that show AI adoption and spend by department.

Earlier at NETFLIX, I engineered cloud platforms and deployment systems across AWS, GCP, and Azure, and built observability and security controls for production workloads. At AMAZON, I worked on Prime acquisition and signup services; at ZOPE CORPORATION, I built e-commerce applications, REST APIs, and data integration pipelines. I hold a B.S. in Computer Science and certifications in AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, and Azure AI.
