Full Stack Developer at SME Careers building on-premise AI for Gertrude’s Children’s Hospital and enterprise RAG systems.

At SME Careers, I built and optimized agentic AI systems and Retrieval-Augmented Generation pipelines for enterprise use. For Gertrude’s Children’s Hospital, I architected and deployed an on-premise AI agent that processes sensitive healthcare data locally.

At Gertrude’s Children’s Hospital, I owned the hospital platform’s architecture end to end and developed an offline-capable PWA for inpatient and outpatient care. Replacing the outsourced ERP with an in-house system saved more than $190,000 a year in licence fees.

Earlier, at Bossing Up Inc, I built a business listing platform for New York businesses and a multi-vendor marketplace. I also created Itisha, a personal PWA project for QR-code ordering and payments with offline resilience.
