“Consulting-style LLM practitioner who builds enterprise knowledge assistants using RAG and takes them from prototype to production with guardrails, evaluation, and full-stack observability. Experienced partnering with IT and customer-facing teams to demo solutions, build tailored prototypes, and drive adoption through API-based integration.”

“Built and shipped AI-powered workflow automation at Oracle, including an MCP-based agentic workflow with tool-calling and guardrails, plus Grafana monitoring and Confluence documentation. Also led a Django monolith-to-microservices migration at Chamsmobile using blue-green deployment and load balancer traffic splitting to avoid regressions while modernizing production systems.”

“Built and evolved the backend-adjacent platform for a self-custody Bitcoin wallet used by 2000+ users, emphasizing security-first architecture that avoids custodial risk by keeping private key operations client-side. Demonstrates strong API reliability and security depth (FastAPI contract-first design, idempotency, state-machine modeling, JWT/device-aware auth) and has reduced production failures by hardening signing flows against poor connectivity.”

“Backend engineer who built and evolved a gun-parts price tracking platform focused on accurate historical pricing and fast graph-ready APIs. Experienced migrating an Express backend to NestJS incrementally with parallel routing, feature flags, and careful data integrity controls, and has a security-focused approach to API design (JWT/OAuth, RBAC, row-level access via scoped queries).”

“AI Backend Engineer in MetLife’s claims technology group who built and deployed a production LLM-based decision support system that helps claim adjusters quickly find relevant policy rules from long PDFs and historical notes. Designed it as multiple production-grade services with retrieval-first guardrails, continuous validation, and Airflow-orchestrated pipelines for ingestion, embeddings, and vector index updates to keep the system reliable as policies and data evolve.”

“Engineer with startup experience who emphasizes disciplined Agile execution (requirements analysis, Jira tasking, sprint planning) and production readiness (testing/QA/PR review). Uses profiling/logging for high-observability debugging and prioritizes incidents by impact. Has demoed engineering processes and worked directly with a client (Canadian music service) to position product capabilities and future extensions to drive adoption.”

“Backend/platform engineer with production experience building a Python SDK over a microservices ecosystem, emphasizing reliability (JWT auth, retries/timeouts, custom exceptions) and integration testing.
