Internship experience maintaining GitLab CI/CD for TypeScript services (Jest/Playwright), improving pipeline stability and test determinism; familiar with Kubernetes/GitOps concepts and AWS CLI/SSO.”

“Built a production internal LLM/RAG assistant at CVS Health to cut time spent searching long policy and clinical guideline PDFs, combining fine-tuned BERT/GPT models with FAISS retrieval and a FastAPI service on AWS.

“Former mechanical engineering professional who pivoted into business development and drove major international growth through strategic partnerships (helping scale headcount from a few to 300+ in 2–3 years). Now finishing an MBA (graduating in May) and building a recruiting/hiring-manager-focused product—prototype complete, validating demand, and aiming to launch an MVP within ~2 months before fundraising.”

“Infrastructure/Platform engineer with deep production ownership of large IBM Power/AIX estates (70 LPARs, dual VIOS, HMC across two data centers), including live DLPAR tuning and PowerHA clustering for Oracle/WebSphere. Also brings modern DevOps/IaC experience—built GitHub Actions pipelines deploying to Kubernetes with OIDC/Vault secrets and implemented Terraform to provision AWS EKS/VPC/IAM/ALB/RDS with drift detection and controlled rollouts.”

“Serial healthcare entrepreneur who has founded three ventures across nuclear pharmacy and radiology/imaging, including building a nuclear pharmacy in a 500-mile underserved region and personally managing NRC regulatory compliance.
