“Built and deployed JobMatcher AI, an LLM-driven workflow automation product for job seekers that extracts requirements from job descriptions, matches to user skills, and generates tailored outreach. Demonstrated strong production engineering by cutting per-run cost ~70%, improving reliability with retries/backoff/fallbacks, and reducing hallucinations via schema validation and templating; also orchestrated the system with LangGraph plus Docker Compose across API, vector DB, and workers.”

“Backend-focused Python engineer who builds modular Flask services on AWS and specializes in performance/scalability work across data-heavy APIs. Has concrete wins in query optimization (1.5s to <200ms) and high-throughput async processing (Celery+Redis, ~40% throughput gain), plus experience serving scikit-learn text classification models via containerized REST services and designing multi-tenant data isolation strategies.”

“Backend engineer who built an AI RAG quoting system for the fastener industry, reducing quote turnaround from weeks to ~30 minutes and raising retrieval accuracy to ~90% by solving a semantic-collision issue with a parent-document retrieval design. Strong in production AWS integrations (Cognito auth, S3 pre-signed uploads), performance optimization (multithreading/out-of-core), and real-time streaming (Kafka/Spark Kappa architecture achieving sub-second latency), plus Kubernetes logging and GitHub Actions CI/CD to ECR.”

“AI/ML engineer (Merkle) with hands-on experience deploying RAG-based LLM applications and real-time recommendation engines into production. Strong in cloud/on-prem architectures, GPU autoscaling, caching, and network optimization—delivered measurable latency reductions (40–70%) and improved retrieval relevance by systematically benchmarking chunking/embedding configurations and validating pipelines via CI/CD.”

“LLM solutions practitioner with SOC/alert-triage experience who takes LLM prototypes to production using RAG (Pinecone), FastAPI services, guardrails, CI/CD, monitoring, and robust fallback logic. Known for rapid real-time debugging of embedding/vector and agent workflow issues, and for driving adoption through code-first workshops and sales-aligned custom demos with measurable improvements (35% faster triage; 40% increase in correct tool usage).”

“Built Hexagon’s production Text-to-CAD Copilot that converts text and rough sketches into editable CAD code, combining GraphRAG (Neo4j/LangChain) with a Gemini-powered vision module and multi-agent geometric validation—cutting manual modeling from a day to ~45 seconds and driving retrieval latency below 50ms. Also has large-scale GCP data/ML orchestration experience (Airflow/Cloud Composer, Dataflow, Pub/Sub, Snowflake) processing 50M+ daily records with drift monitoring and automated reliability controls.”

“Full-stack engineer who built and shipped an AI-powered internal knowledge search system for APL Services, including document ingestion into a vector database, a Python backend, and a React/TypeScript chat-style UI with source citations for trust. Improved production reliability by migrating from Streamlit Cloud to GCP with containerization and scaling controls to eliminate cold-start friction; also co-led a Mensa chapter website redesign as Digital Communications Committee co-chair.”

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.”

“Application/security-focused customer-facing implementer who has secured multi-customer data aggregation apps using per-tenant isolation, short-lived/scoped tokens, and vault-based secrets management.
