“Accenture engineer with hands-on experience taking an NLP sentiment analysis system from prototype to production, emphasizing robustness to noisy data, scalability, and observability (dashboards for latency/error/throughput). Also supports customer-facing teams with demos and PoCs, translating client requirements into secure, scalable architectures and troubleshooting LLM/agent workflows via logs and step-level traces.”

“Full-stack software engineer who shipped production systems in academic and e-commerce contexts, including a UC Irvine course recommendation platform with async Kafka-based OCR processing (Tesseract) and LangChain-driven recommendations. Strong in building polished React/TypeScript dashboards (Figma-to-implementation) and owning Python backends (FastAPI/Flask) with solid API design, caching, and AWS EKS deployments; delivered measurable impact (tripled engagement, ~50% faster processing).”

“Backend/data engineer with strong production experience across Python microservices (FastAPI) and AWS serverless/data platforms (Lambda, API Gateway, Glue, Redshift). Demonstrates reliability and incident ownership (rate limits, retries/circuit breakers, monitoring) and has delivered measurable SQL performance gains (12–15s to <800ms, ~60% CPU reduction). Seeking fully remote work and not open to relocation/onsite meetings.”

“Built a production "Mini RAG Assistant" for internal document Q&A, focusing on grounded answers (anti-hallucination), retrieval quality, and latency/cost optimization. Uses LangChain/LangGraph for orchestration and applies a metrics-driven evaluation loop (including reranking and semantic chunking improvements) while collaborating closely with product stakeholders.”

“Engineer with experience in regulated healthcare and financial systems, including a United Health healthcare service migration to AWS.
