AI Engineer building RAG, LLM applications, and production-grade enterprise systems.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m an AI Engineer with 3 years of software development experience, focused on building enterprise systems and shipping production-grade AI. I combine strong backend engineering with applied LLM expertise—especially RAG pipelines, hybrid retrieval, and agentic AI.
In my role at NBME, I led Java 21 and Spring Boot 3.2 modernization across 5 enterprise microservices, including a full Struts 1.x to Spring MVC 6.x rewrite. I also stabilized CI/CD by debugging SonarQube integration failures and modernized OWASP dependency checks, while delivering production reliability improvements.
My AI work centers on building trustworthy LLM experiences. I built AI search engines with hybrid retrieval, cross-encoder reranking, and hallucination prevention using faithfulness scoring and RAGAS evaluation for answer relevancy, faithfulness, and context precision.
I’m hands-on across the stack—Python, Java, Spring Boot, FastAPI, and cloud services like AWS and GCP—plus frontend contributions using React and Angular. I’m excited to bring this blend of engineering rigor and AI capability to teams that want measurable performance, evaluation-driven quality, and systems that scale.
