Also demonstrates a clear, systems-level approach to diagnosing LLM/agentic workflow issues (prompt/RAG/tooling/memory) using instrumentation and iterative fixes, and has partnered with sales on POCs by defining success metrics and mapping solutions to customer architectures.”

“Backend/AI engineer who built a Spring Boot timesheet API on AWS (Postgres, Docker, Nginx) used by hundreds of daily users and resolved severe deadline-driven latency/5XX incidents via query optimization, connection pool tuning, and Redis caching. Also shipped application-layer LLM features (Mistral + LangChain chatbot) and designed a Planner/Executor/Verifier troubleshooting agent with verification-based guardrails to prevent hallucinated root-cause analyses.”

“Backend engineer with recent Barclays experience building a Python asyncio + Kafka risk reporting service for trading desks, including a major refactor from blocking batch processing to event-driven incremental pipelines to restore intraday/EOD performance. Also shipped an applied AI feature using OpenAI fine-tuning to classify risk-breach severity and generate trader/risk-manager summaries with robust retry/fallback handling, plus demonstrated strong database/query optimization (triggers, materialized views, partial indexes) in a risk-limits/breaches domain.”

“Currently at Huntington Bank, built a production-grade RAG system that helps business/operations teams get grounded answers from large volumes of internal enterprise documents. Owns ingestion and FastAPI backend, tuned hybrid BM25+vector retrieval and chunking for relevance, and evaluates reliability with metrics and observability (LangSmith, CloudWatch, Prometheus/Grafana) while partnering closely with non-technical stakeholders.”

“Software engineer with payments-domain experience (Visa) building real-time transaction monitoring and analytics systems. Strong end-to-end ownership across Spring Boot/Kafka microservices, PostgreSQL modeling, and AWS/Kubernetes operations, plus React+TypeScript dashboards—focused on low-latency processing, secure APIs, and zero-downtime production releases.”

“Full-stack engineer who built and supported production features in a productivity/task-tracking app using Next.js App Router + TypeScript (server components for initial render, client components for interactivity, API route handlers for mutations). Also designed and optimized Postgres data models/queries and implemented resilient, event-driven payment processing with idempotency, retries, audit logs, and strong testing/observability practices.”

“Engineer with production experience in both high-throughput banking risk systems and LLM agent platforms. Built a real-time transaction risk scoring middleware at JPMorgan Chase (1M+ requests/day) emphasizing HA, observability, and audit/PII compliance, and also architected multi-step LLM agents with strict schema-based tool calling, evaluation loops, and safety guardrails for messy enterprise data.”
