“Built production LLM-driven products including a job-hunt AI (job ranking + resume optimization) and an InterviewAI agentic pipeline using LangChain. Focused on practical deployment concerns like securing OpenAI usage via rate limiting and tiered quotas, and demonstrates an applied approach to choosing models, retrieval methods (RAG), and prompting strategies.”

“Currently at ProShare and reports building an AI/LLM-powered system deployed to production, aimed at helping with status-related difficulties and reducing misunderstandings across transactions. Also cites prior collaboration at Porsche with marketing teams, focusing on translating marketing goals into technical requirements and communicating solutions clearly to non-technical stakeholders.”

“Backend engineer who owned the API layer for an AI trust/analytics dashboard (trust scores, stability checks, public verification endpoints) using Python/FastAPI and Postgres. Has hands-on DevOps experience deploying FastAPI and Node.js services to AWS Kubernetes with GitHub Actions + ArgoCD GitOps, plus Kafka-based real-time event streaming and careful staged migration practices (shadow traffic/dual writes, rollback planning).”

“Built and deployed a production generative-AI copilot at Tungsten that automates invoice/form extraction template creation, reducing weeks of manual model-building work. Combines fine-tuned LLMs (PyTorch/HuggingFace) with OpenCV layout grounding to reduce hallucinations, and runs an end-to-end Kubeflow-based MLOps pipeline with drift monitoring, canary releases, and automated retraining.”

“Union College robotics graduate with hands-on ROS experience building an independent “waiter bot” that took spoken orders (Mozilla DeepSpeech), used OpenCV, and navigated via SLAM on a TurtleBot with LiDAR. Also led the Union College Robotics crew for four years and implemented PID control for micromouse maze robots; has additional software deployment experience with Dockerized FastAPI and CI/CD from coursework.”

“Built and deployed a production AI accessibility platform that turns chart and image-based graphs into real-time audio narratives for visually impaired users.
