What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can own AI-first full-stack delivery—building production systems, automating LLM/agent workflows, and improving reliability/performance end to end across cloud environments, with room to iterate fast and ship measurable outcomes.

I’m an AI-first full-stack web developer and LLM workflow specialist with 4+ years building and maintaining production web applications and internal systems. I’m hands-on with end-to-end delivery—from first commit to production—across AWS, Azure, and GCP environments.

In recent roles, I focused on improving AI evaluation consistency and reliability by decomposing complex task specifications into structured annotator workflows, validating multi-turn logs at scale, and automating ingestion and aggregation pipelines against OpenAI and Anthropic APIs. I also standardized documentation and process guides to reduce onboarding time for new evaluators.

Previously, I engineered backends and data workflows that removed manual effort and improved performance: I built a FastAPI caching and cache-invalidation system with a 48+ test pytest suite, eliminated stale search results through automated invalidation, and reduced database load with a thread-safe bounded TTL cache. I also deployed and monitored services with Docker on AWS EC2.

Earlier in my career, I delivered responsive web interfaces and automation tooling that replaced a 4-hour daily workflow with a 15-minute automated process (94% time reduction) using Selenium and Playwright. I bring a technical, self-directed mindset, strong REST API integration, and a bias toward measurable outcomes.
