“Software engineer with hands-on experience improving performance and reliability in financial workflows (settlements/loan processing), spanning React/TypeScript and Angular frontends plus Spring Boot microservices. Has delivered measurable latency improvements using PostgreSQL optimization and Redis caching, and has operated Kafka-based systems at scale with idempotent processing and backoff/retry strategies while iterating internal ops tooling with support/finance teams.”

“Software engineer/product-focused builder who has delivered customer-facing dashboards (React/TypeScript + Spring Boot) and microservices using RabbitMQ, emphasizing safe, fast iteration with CI/CD, feature flags, and monitoring. Also built an internal monitoring/reporting tool adopted by ops/support by involving users early and iterating based on feedback.”

“Built and deployed a RAG-based clinical knowledge assistant at GE Healthcare to help clinicians query large volumes of messy, unstructured clinical documents with grounded, cited answers. Hands-on across the full stack (OCR/ETL, de-identification for PHI, Azure OpenAI embeddings, Cosmos DB indexing, FastAPI/Django) with production monitoring via LangSmith and performance tuning through batching and index optimization.”

“Software engineer with experience building a Vue.js/TypeScript internal component library (with Jest testing standards) and improving JS runtime performance via profiling, code splitting, and lazy loading. Also led documentation and community support for a Python ML utility library, diagnosing metric-calculation bugs for imbalanced datasets and driving large reductions in support inquiries through targeted docs, tests, and rapid hotfixes in a startup environment.”

“LLM/RAG engineer who has shipped production systems in high-stakes domains (fraud analytics at Mastercard and security compliance as a CI/CD gate). Strong focus on reliability: hybrid retrieval for latency, citation-backed outputs for trust, and code-driven eval/regression pipelines using golden datasets. Also built scalable OCR-based ingestion for messy classroom artifacts (handwriting, PDFs, whiteboard photos) using Go/Python and cloud services.”
