“Built and shipped a production multi-agent conversational AI platform (Monitor agent + RAG + 4 additional agents) with enterprise REST APIs, using ChromaDB-grounded WCAG knowledge to keep responses accurate while varying tone via personality modes and conversation memory. Has experience at LinkedIn delivering technical demos and pre-sales guidance to both engineering teams and C-level stakeholders, acting as a translator between sales and technical teams to drive adoption.”

“Unity developer with deep GPU compute experience who shipped a web-deployed CAD-style app requiring real-time mesh manipulation, solving performance and browser memory-limit issues via compute shaders and mesh chunking. Built an independent Unity gravity simulation using Schwarzschild approximation and geodesic integration, and has also worked on game-engine threading/job-queue architecture using AI-assisted workflows.”

“Frontend-focused engineer who built a full movie recommendation system from concept to production, comparing classic collaborative filtering with LLM-based recommendation approaches on AWS. Emphasizes scalable architecture, strict TypeScript data contracts, and high-quality Next.js/React UI patterns (defensive states, scoped state management, performance optimization) with disciplined QA and feature-flagged rollouts.”

“Built and productionized a multi-agent, LLM-powered document understanding system to replace manual review of long documents, using LangGraph orchestration plus RAG to reduce hallucinations.
