I’m seeking a software engineering role focused on building production-ready applications, with a strong interest in AI and Generative AI. I want to apply my full-stack, cloud, API, LLM, RAG, and AI-agent experience to solve meaningful business problems and build scalable, reliable products.
Joel Vance Gonzales
@vangonz
Senior AI engineer building RAG, AI agents, and secure full-stack platforms on AWS and FastAPI for enterprise document intelligence.
What I'm looking for
I build enterprise AI applications end-to-end, from Python FastAPI backends to React/Next.js dashboards, like the document intelligence and compliance platform at Collaborate Solutions. I’ve designed production RAG pipelines with LangChain and Amazon Bedrock/OpenAI models, plus AI agent workflows for document analysis and automated compliance.
I also ship reliable systems on AWS—ECS, Lambda, S3, Aurora PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, and OpenSearch—backed by microservices, secure APIs (authentication/authorization/RBAC), and CI/CD with automated testing and monitoring. Earlier, at PrimeIT and Suzuki Philippines Incorporated, I developed scalable full-stack SaaS and internal business workflow automation, including REST APIs, database optimization, and production support.
