What I'm looking for

Remote Applied AI / LLM engineering roles where I own production systems end to end: RAG and retrieval, evaluation harnesses, agents and tool use. Comfortable working async across time zones (IST overlaps EU hours). Open to full-time through an employer of record, or contract.

At ZeFlash, I’m the sole owner of PartnerAI, a production RAG assistant inside a multi-tenant ERP. I built its Python/FastAPI gateway and hybrid retrieval, with a grounding layer that resolves every screen, action, and field ID against a verified registry.

I also built PartnerAI’s evaluation stack, expanding its test suite from 532 to 1,920 tests. Prompt caching cut synthesis input cost by 45%, and I wrote a tree-sitter AST compiler over the Go backend that turned enforcement rules into judge-verified knowledge cards.

Previously, at qikfox Cybersecurity Systems, I was the sole owner of blockchain R&D and designed a purpose-built Layer-1 in Rust. My research has also included benchmarking LLMs as driving decision-makers and fine-tuning CLIP for cross-modal retrieval.
