Senior AI/ML Engineer specializing in conversational and generative AI

Austin, TX12y exp

“Built and productionized an LLM-based support assistant end-to-end, including RAG, APIs, monitoring, guardrails, and agent feedback loops. Stands out for translating GenAI prototypes into reliable production systems with structured evaluation, safety controls, and reusable Python infrastructure that improved both support quality and engineering velocity.”

“Engineer with hands-on experience across backend, full-stack, cloud, and AI/ML systems, with particular depth in Python, FastAPI, AWS Bedrock, SageMaker, and RAG-based architectures. Stands out for treating AI and agents as accelerators within disciplined production engineering, emphasizing guardrails, observability, latency/cost monitoring, and scalable system design.”

“Full-stack engineer with deep serverless AWS experience who built VidToNote, an AI video analysis platform, end-to-end using Next.js App Router/TypeScript and an event-driven pipeline (API Gateway, Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, Step Functions, SQS). Strong on production reliability and observability (CloudWatch, X-Ray, structured logging), plus data/analytics work in Postgres with measurable query optimizations and durable LLM evaluation workflows. Amazon background; integrated 22 AWS services and completed AWS Solutions Architect Professional certification within a month.”

Mid-level Full-Stack Developer specializing in Spring Boot, React, and cloud microservices

San Francisco, CA5y exp

“Backend engineer with experience at Meta and Accenture building regulated-data systems (healthcare/financial) using Python/Flask and Postgres. Has scaled high-throughput services to millions of daily requests, delivering measurable latency wins (~40% API latency reduction; ~35% faster DB-backed endpoints), and has productionized ML inference services using Docker/Kubernetes and AWS (ECS/SageMaker).”

“Senior engineering executive and former VP of Architecture at Expedia who led a small, high-leverage architecture organization supporting an 8,000-person global engineering org. Brings a rare mix of executive people leadership and hands-on AI systems work, including OpenAI plugin integration, multi-agent booking architecture, and agentic fraud workflows that materially improved execution, automation, and customer-facing outcomes.”

“AWS engineer who productionized an internal ML-driven data pipeline from a notebook prototype into a scalable, observable Python service (schema validation, deduplication, idempotency, safe retries, versioned transforms, CloudWatch alarms), reducing manual effort and improving data accuracy/trust. Experienced diagnosing workflow issues in real time (e.g., upstream schema changes) and partnering with account managers/support to unblock adoption of seller-facing Marketplace features by demonstrating reliability with concrete metrics.”

“Senior engineering leader in the Bay Area with experience spanning VMware, Hortonworks/Cloudera, Barracuda, and Palo Alto Networks, including leading open-source work (Apache Knox) and architecting large-scale security platforms. Has driven disaster recovery and cloud security products, designed Python microservices for Microsoft 365 security, and scaled teams (3x) while formalizing enterprise readiness practices with automated documentation using Notebook LLM.”
