What I'm looking for

I'm looking to own ambiguous engineering problems end to end, building production AI, backend, and infrastructure systems that deliver practical value under real usage.

At NewEngen, I build LIFT AI, a proactive marketing-intelligence platform that turns Google Ads, Meta, and Shopify data into interactive analyst-grade reports for marketing teams. I own the system end to end, from Claude and Agno agent pipelines through FastAPI, BigQuery, Vertex AI, and a React micro-frontend.

I architected the Redis-backed concurrency layer that keeps parallel agent sessions reliable across multi-pod Kubernetes deployments, and resolved tool-layer failures that moved the agent from demo-grade to client-facing. I also delivered a Python, GraphQL, and PostgreSQL data taxonomy tool used by 150+ international brands.

Previously, I was the first engineer at GreenLiving and built backend, frontend, infrastructure, and AWS deployment from founders' requirements. I’ve also built real-time NestJS and Kafka systems, reduced AWS infrastructure costs by 30%, and am building Lia, a local-first personal AI system with lifelong memory and capability-based permissions.
