What I'm looking for

I want to build production-grade GenAI/RAG and multi-agent systems on Azure—focused on accuracy, evaluation/observability, and cost/compliance (including fairness). I value teams where I can mentor and ship measurable outcomes end-to-end.

I’m a Principal AI Engineer with 12+ years shipping production systems and 3+ years owning Generative AI and LLM products end-to-end. I design agentic RAG architectures from stakeholder discovery through Azure deployment, turning prototypes into reliable, measurable customer solutions.

Across healthcare, consumer travel, and banking/FinTech, I’ve improved retrieval accuracy by 30–40% and reduced response latency by ~25%. In regulated settings, I delivered FCA-compliant multi-agent pipelines with guaranteed compliance gates and demographic fairness evaluation, including deterministic compliance routing and audit-ready APIs.

I’m also hands-on with evaluation and observability—RAGAS for continuous quality scoring and Arize Phoenix for span-level visibility into retrieval, hallucination risk, tool calls, and cost. I mentor engineers across AI, backend, and mobile, and I’m driven by building systems that are accurate, compliant, and cost-optimized in production.
