I build production Generative AI agents and scalable Python backend platforms.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At Roku, I architect reusable Python services and REST APIs with FastAPI, Django, and Django REST Framework, reducing targeted API response latency by approximately 20%.
I led the launch of a Generative AI natural-language search product using GPT, LangChain, and RAG, reducing engineering information-discovery time by approximately 35%. I operationalized RAG and agent-based workflows with LangGraph, multi-agent patterns, and MCP concepts to improve grounded-response relevance and retrieval quality.
Previously at Akamai, I built Python and Django REST Framework services for enterprise-security and Zero Trust workflows, while strengthening automation and CI/CD across AWS, Linux, Docker, Jenkins, and Groovy.
My foundation was built at Microsoft, where I developed Python and C++ services for distributed, virtualized platforms, improved throughput and reliability, automated validation, and mentored teammates through complex system debugging.
