“LLM-focused customer-facing engineer who repeatedly takes document Q&A and agentic prototypes into secure, monitored production systems. Experienced in reducing hallucinations via RAG + guardrails, diagnosing retrieval/embedding issues in real time, and partnering with sales to run metrics-driven PoCs that overcome accuracy/security objections and drive adoption.”

“Built a production LLM/RAG-based “model excellence scoring” system at Uber to automatically evaluate hundreds of ML models, standardizing quality assessment and cutting evaluation time from days to minutes on GCP. Also delivered an NLP document classification solution for insurance claims at Globe Life, partnering closely with compliance/operations and improving routing accuracy from ~85% manual to 93% with the model.”
