“Engineer using AI deeply in real production workflows, not just for code generation: they built agents for PR reviews and incident debugging that reportedly reduced review time by 50% and sped root-cause analysis by 30%. They also designed a three-agent personalization pipeline for real-time navigation curation, showing hands-on experience with multi-agent systems, orchestration, and rule-based refinement.”

Also designed an event-driven, streaming backend for real-time inventory ordering predictions that reduced stockouts by 25%, and has hands-on incident response experience stabilizing LLM API latency/5xx spikes using Datadog/APM and resilience patterns.”
