## About

```text
At Pathrel, I designed and built a workspace-based system builder that lets owners define data models, views, agents, and workflows, with a dedicated PostgreSQL schema generated for each workspace.

I built a custom DDL engine for metadata-driven PostgreSQL schemas and made AI agents part of the product, with policy-controlled tools and live output. I deployed the platform on Google Cloud and helped cut schema provisioning from minutes to seconds.

At NvisionHR, I led architecture and development of an enterprise HR platform spanning ATS, CRM, and employee management. I also built autonomous agents into its modules for tasks including ATS screening and CRM workflow automation.
