“Backend-focused engineer who built an internal wiki LLM chatbot end-to-end using FastAPI, Kubernetes, and ChromaDB vector search, including frontend integration. Also has strong DevOps/migration experience—automating large work-item and repo migrations (Jira/FogBugz/ADO on-prem to cloud) via Python scripts, JSON mappings, REST APIs, and validation test suites.”

“Backend/AI engineer who built and scaled an internal AMD semiconductor manufacturing microservice platform (SMR), reworking a synchronous lot-request workflow into an event-driven RabbitMQ/Celery/FastAPI pipeline. Diagnosed and fixed peak-load reliability issues using deep observability and Kubernetes autoscaling, cutting notification latency back to sub-second and reducing duplicates via idempotency/DLQs. Also shipped an LLM-powered natural-language search with schema-constrained JSON outputs and guardrails, plus a plan-execute-verify Jira bug-resolution agent that can propose fixes and raise PRs under restricted permissions.”

“Autonomous driving perception/mapping engineer who designed a vectorized local mapping module end-to-end across labeling, training, and evaluation for multi-modal inputs (vision/LiDAR/nav maps). Implemented automated evaluation/regression testing and improved occlusion/long-range precision by ~5% using temporal features and transformer-based reference points, while optimizing models via pruning/EfficientNet to fit system resource constraints.”
