What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation and collaboration in AI development.

I am an accomplished AI Engineer with over three years of experience in designing, developing, and deploying high-impact AI solutions. My expertise lies in building production-grade LLM applications and autonomous AI agents, which have significantly improved performance and reduced costs for my clients. I am dedicated to transforming business needs into innovative AI-powered systems.

Currently, I work at Quest Lab, where I engineered and deployed generative AI applications that improved user engagement by 30%. I have developed Retrieval-Augmented Generation systems that enhanced information retrieval accuracy by 40% and reduced search latency by 50%. My collaborative approach has allowed me to successfully deliver major AI features while maintaining high-quality standards.
