“Full-stack engineer who led production modernization of a legacy, latency-sensitive application into a React + microservices platform, with heavy TypeScript backend work to improve reliability and maintainability. Has operated and scaled authentication/identity services in production, addressing peak-traffic latency spikes via database tuning and improved observability, and emphasizes idempotent, retry-safe workflow design.”

“Built and deployed a production Dockerized multimodal (voice+text) LLM agent for knowledge management that retrieves from Notion and documents and falls back to Tavily-powered web search with citations when internal notes are missing. Emphasizes production reliability via model-switching fallbacks, caching, strict structured outputs (Pydantic/JSON schema), and MCP-based orchestration with state-aware gating and monitoring to reduce redundant tool calls and improve success rates.”

“Data platform/data engineer with cross-industry experience in banking and healthcare, building cloud-native lakehouse architectures across AWS/Azure/GCP. Has owned high-volume (millions of records; TB/day) pipelines with strong data quality automation (dbt/Great Expectations), observability (Grafana/Prometheus), and real-time streaming (Kafka/Spark) for fraud monitoring; also delivered an early-stage migration from SQL Server to BigQuery with 40% batch latency reduction.”

“Built and shipped a production LLM-powered email automation agent for procurement that ingests emails/attachments, classifies requests via rules+embeddings+LLM fallback, enriches responses with SAP inventory data, and generates templated replies. Architected it as an event-driven, idempotent Azure Functions/Queues pipeline with schema-constrained outputs, confidence gating, retries/circuit breakers, and Application Insights monitoring—cutting turnaround time from 4–7 days to near real-time while maintaining zero downtime.”

“Backend/data engineer who helped evolve Bitnimbus LLC’s Kafka-as-a-service MVP from a monolith into an event-driven distributed system, using careful design, parallel rollouts, and idempotent event handling to maintain correctness.
