What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead end-to-end Generative AI and backend system design—building RAG/LLM solutions, optimizing cost and latency, and scaling distributed microservices with strong team execution and cross-functional collaboration.

I’m a Technical Lead with 10+ years of experience building and scaling distributed systems and AI-driven platforms, with a strong focus on Generative AI and backend architecture.

For the past 2+ years, I’ve driven end-to-end Generative AI initiatives—building RAG pipelines, integrating LLMs, and delivering intelligent automation systems that work in real production environments.

I lead teams of engineers across AI, backend, and frontend, and I build solutions that reduce cost and improve user experience. In my current role, I optimized LLM usage through caching, prompt design, and workflow improvements—cutting inference costs by 30% and improving response latency by 50%.

I’m equally focused on system reliability and scale: I architect scalable backend services for high-throughput AI workloads and real-time interactions, set engineering best practices that improve productivity (reducing delivery cycle time by 30%), and partner with cross-functional stakeholders to translate complex requirements into robust microservices.
