Also developed a RAG-based knowledge retrieval system, iterating across embedding models and moving to production based on precision and latency SLAs, then containerizing and deploying with SageMaker and CI/CD.”

“Cloud-native infrastructure and application security practitioner focused on AWS multi-account environments, partnering with engineering teams on threat modeling, secure architecture reviews, and secure SDLC alignment. Has implemented IaC-driven centralized logging/SIEM and improved IAM and logging redundancy to strengthen both security posture and operational resilience, plus maintained secure CI/CD pipelines with integrated security scanning and release guardrails.”

“Backend engineer with airline operations domain experience who modernized flight-ops systems from batch updates to real-time streaming on AWS (Kafka + Spring Boot microservices), improving latency and stability through metric-driven tuning and idempotency. Also shipped a production LLM decision-support component using RAG over operational logs and internal procedures, with strong guardrails and an evaluation/regression loop to reduce hallucinations and enforce grounding.”

“QA engineer with 12 years of experience in SaaS/platform releases (not AAA games), partnering closely with developers and product through standups, 1:1s, and Three Amigos.
