AI Software Engineer building RAG and LLM solutions for real-world knowledge assistants.
What I'm looking for
I'm an AI Engineer and Software Engineer with 10 years of experience building production applications, cloud infrastructure, and automation solutions. I currently design and develop an AI-powered Retrieval-Augmented Generation platform that helps CAD engineering teams search, understand, and reuse technical knowledge and Intellectual Property from previous projects.
I cover the full lifecycle of applied AI systems—Python and FastAPI backend development, secure REST APIs, RAG pipeline design and optimization, and LLM and vector database integration for semantic search, ranking, and context generation. Before specializing in AI, I delivered large-scale AWS migrations and private-cloud automation, which helps me bridge AI development, backend engineering, and real-world business operations with a product-oriented mindset.
