What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and ship production GenAI products, especially RAG, agentic AI, and full-stack LLM applications. I value end-to-end ownership, practical deployment on GCP, and teams where AI-native development can deliver measurable outcomes.

I build and ship production-grade GenAI systems end-to-end, including RAG pipelines, multi-agent orchestration, and full-stack LLM applications on GCP Cloud Run.

My PromptWars 2026 projects include VenueFlow, a crowd-safety AI system ranked 9 of 46,397, and Carbon Counterfactual, a full-stack GenAI platform ranked 4 of 2,566 in the Elite Tier. I use Python, FastAPI, React, TypeScript, Vertex AI, Firestore, Pub/Sub, and CI/CD to take ideas from prototype to deployed product.

I also built a LangGraph and MCP multi-agent productivity system with human-in-the-loop workflows, AlloyDB AI hybrid retrieval, and LangSmith tracing. For CivicPulse, I created RAG analytics across 126,974 civic-grievance records and achieved a 62× processing speedup using NVIDIA RAPIDS cuDF.

Across FinTech, BFSI, Telecom, and public-sector delivery, I've led support teams, automated workflows, and improved operational outcomes. I pair more than a decade of enterprise delivery experience with AI-native, prompt-driven development using Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini, and GPT.
