Junior Backend & Data Engineer specializing in cloud infrastructure and ML pipelines

Atlanta, GA2y exp

“Built a GenAI/RAG-based ESG questionnaire-answering agent at C3.ai, including a React dashboard with role-based access and human-in-the-loop verification by showing supporting source paragraphs. Reported outcomes included cutting a 4–5 week manual process down to about a week (~90% labor reduction) and a client-reported ESG rank improvement from 7th to 3rd.”

Mid-level Machine Learning & Software Engineer specializing in RAG systems and ML infrastructure

Atlanta, GA4y exp

“Built and deployed an in-house RAG LLM system ("MONTY") using LLaMA 3B + FAISS to help teams quickly understand long internal/external specifications. Delivered usable production performance despite severe compute limits (single RTX 3080) by tuning retrieval/reranking and model choice, and is planning a LightRAG/knowledge-graph rewrite to improve accuracy and latency.”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience across Python/FastAPI services and AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, SQS, ECS) delivered via Terraform and GitHub Actions. Built Glue-to-Redshift ETL pipelines with Step Functions retry/catch patterns, schema evolution safeguards, and data quality checks; also modernized a legacy SAS monthly reporting system into Python microservices with rigorous side-by-side parity validation. Demonstrated strong SQL tuning skills with a reported improvement from 5 minutes to 15 seconds.”

“Engineering leader who managed a 20-person cross-functional team building customer-driven software solutions, delivering a 50% reduction in simulation/test lifecycle and securing a long-term strategic SLA. Strong in scalable data ingestion architectures (FastAPI + Kafka + multiprocess workers), operational diagnostics (correlation IDs/centralized logging), and microservice decoupling for analytics/visualization. Active open-source contributor who shipped a NATS bug fix and improved SDK onboarding with automation that cut ramp time by 30%.”

“Cloud infrastructure/product engineer with end-to-end ownership of cloud-native storage/observability products, including taking an internal CMS to Google Cloud Marketplace and scaling to ~40,000 deployments. Strong in Kubernetes-based platforms (Operators, microservices, RabbitMQ) and performance/scalability work (e.g., 200% cluster capacity increase) plus internal tooling that materially improved SRE/QA debugging and release velocity.”
