Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in AI platforms and full-stack systems

Santa Clara, CA4y exp

“Built and shipped a production AI-powered Q&A/RAG onboarding assistant at One Community Global that unified knowledge across Notion, Google Docs, and Slack, cutting volunteer onboarding time by 45%. Demonstrates strong end-to-end ownership: LangChain agent orchestration integrated into a FastAPI backend, rigorous evaluation (200-query dataset, ~85% accuracy), and production feedback/monitoring with source-attributed answers to build user trust.”

“AI engineer who built a production e-commerce system that analyzes product images alongside sales and demographic data to generate actionable creative recommendations, now used by 20+ clients. Also built orchestrated document/agent pipelines (Airflow, LangGraph) including a compliance drift detector auditing 401 compliance documents, with an emphasis on traceability, logging, and production integration.”

“Full-stack engineer with experience spanning a small healthcare startup and Groupon-scale personalization systems. Stands out for building HIPAA-compliant healthcare workflows end-to-end while also shipping recommendation and LLM-enabled platforms used by millions, with strong depth in React/Next.js, Node.js, Python, AWS, and scalable event-driven architecture.”

“Internship experience building an end-to-end medical AI pipeline that extracts and normalizes messy medical PDFs, fine-tunes BioBERT to classify tumor-related statements (including negation/ambiguity handling), and integrates image-model outputs (MedSAM/GroundingDINO) for tumor localization and classification. Also worked on an LLM/RAG system to draft IPO prospectuses using retrieved regulatory/financial sources (including SEC EDGAR) with structured prompts to reduce hallucinations.”

“Built and launched an internal AI troubleshooting assistant focused on safe, retrieval-first root cause analysis for enterprise systems, with strong attention to monitoring, fallback behavior, and post-launch iteration. Also owns full-stack product work across React and Java/Spring Boot, including high-volume financial operations workflows, and reports measurable LLM improvements such as ~30-40% latency reduction.”

“Backend/ML engineer who has shipped high-scale real-time systems across e-commerce and healthcare: built a PharmEasy real-time recommendation engine for ~2M monthly users (cut feature latency 5 min→30 sec; +15% cross-sell) and architected a HIPAA-compliant multimodal clinical diagnostic workflow (DICOM+EHR) with XAI, MLOps (MLflow/Airflow/K8s), and drift/monitoring guardrails supporting 10k+ daily predictions.”
