What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build scalable, production-oriented AI products—especially LLM/RAG, document intelligence, and semantic search—using FastAPI backends. I want strong ownership, measurable impact, and teams focused on user experience.

I build production-ready AI backend systems—especially LLM powered applications, OCR/IDP workflows, semantic search pipelines, and FastAPI architectures. I focus on turning model capability into reliable services that work for real users.

At Blackcoffer, I developed FastAPI REST APIs from scratch for an AI presentation platform, integrating OpenAI GPT models, speech/avatars, translation workflows, and third-party AI systems. I also researched and evaluated open source and proprietary LLMs for medical OCR and intelligent document processing, and designed embedding pipelines with ChromaDB for semantic retrieval.

My projects reflect how I think: grounded answers, scalable retrieval, and modular production design. I engineered a production-style RAG system with hybrid retrieval (BM25 + vector search), Reciprocal Rank Fusion, and cross-encoder reranking, wrapped in a FastAPI backend with vector search and citation-based responses.
