Mid AI/ML Engineer specializing in LLMs, RAG, and cloud AI systems

Maryland, USA4y exp

“Built an AI-powered job matching platform end to end using AWS, Gemini, FastAPI, TypeScript, embeddings, and vector search. The standout result was automating manual matching workflows and scaling resume processing to roughly 2,000 resumes per minute while monitoring quality with F1 score and latency metrics.”

“Full-stack engineer with fintech payments experience who shipped an end-to-end guest invoice payment flow emphasizing reliability under retries/failures (idempotency via DynamoDB, async processing with Lambda/EventBridge/SQS + DLQ). Also built a FastAPI backend with Cognito/JWT + scoped guest tokens and a polished React/TypeScript checkout UX, and has performance-focused Postgres/Redis design experience for flash-sale e-commerce workloads.”

“Startup-style full-stack/backend engineer with hands-on AWS architecture experience who shipped an LLM-driven assessment-question automation feature (Python microservice calling AWS Bedrock via SQS, deployed on Lambda) with strong validation/guardrails and retry strategies. Also improved production scalability by moving a CPU/IO-heavy file upload path out of a Go API into a queue/Lambda design monitored with CloudWatch, and has React+TypeScript experience optimizing analytics dashboards.”

“Built and shipped a production multi-agent LLM system at Solena that automated internal project intake, validation, reporting, and stakeholder communications using Python, SQL, and LangChain, with strong emphasis on reliability (structured validation, safe defaults, logging, and state tracking).
