What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can own the full AI product—from architecture through production delivery—balance quality with latency and cost, and iterate quickly with strong evaluation and feedback loops.

I’m an AI Product Engineer who spots the real bottleneck, makes the architecture and scope calls, and ships production systems from 0→1. I’ve built end-to-end AI platforms—autonomous agents, production RAG, and multi-agent workflows—inside fast-moving AI teams where ambiguity is the default.

At xDan AI, I identified when off-the-shelf LLM Q&A couldn’t handle domain-specific financial queries, then evaluated retrieval vs. fine-tuning vs. prompt engineering and led the production RAG work that became the default answer path. I also recognized manual annotation as the true bottleneck and built an automated synthetic data generation pipeline—producing 100K+ instructions—to accelerate improvement.

I’ve owned evaluation and deployment decisions as well: I designed an end-to-end LLM evaluation framework using MT-Bench and C-Eval, enabling stakeholders to benchmark 20+ candidate models before go-live and cutting evaluation cycle time by 60%. I partnered with research to turn multi-agent orchestration (task planning, tool integration, memory, and execution replay) into a production system robust enough to run daily.

Earlier, I built and shipped data products and prediction systems—from AWS pipelines for on-demand access to UN Comtrade data, to manufacturing risk prediction using NLP plus XGBoost/Random Forest ensembles (55% to 73%). I also founded an autonomous recruiting and interview scheduling agent that coordinated sourcing, evaluation, scheduling, interviews, and hiring decisions end-to-end in 30 days—backed by resume parsing, candidate assessment, secure storage, and recruiter collaboration workflows.

AI Solutions Engineer

xDan AI

Jul 2023 - Present (3 years)

Led production RAG for domain-specific financial Q&A by comparing retrieval vs fine-tuning vs prompt-engineering and establishing the default answer path. Built an automated synthetic data pipeline, an LLM evaluation framework (MT-Bench, C-Eval), and productionized multi-agent orchestration for daily execution.
