Experienced diagnosing workflow issues in real time (e.g., upstream schema changes) and partnering with account managers/support to unblock adoption of seller-facing Marketplace features by demonstrating reliability with concrete metrics.”

“Built a production internal knowledge assistant using a RAG pipeline over large spreadsheets, PDFs, and support documents, using transformer embeddings stored in FAISS. Focused on real-world production challenges—format normalization, retrieval quality, hallucination reduction (context-only + citations), and latency—using hybrid retrieval, quantization, and containerized deployment, and communicated the workflow to non-technical stakeholders using simple analogies.”

“Built a production LLM-driven archival assistant that turns large, low-quality scanned handwritten files (120+ pages) into structured datasets, overcoming context-window and hierarchy challenges with a two-phase LLM + rules pipeline and reaching 98.1% accuracy (Gemini-2.5 Flash). Also orchestrated a large human-in-the-loop effort with 78 archivists, producing 2,400 high-quality annotations in 4 days via detailed rubrics and support.”

“Senior engineering leader in the Bay Area with experience spanning VMware, Hortonworks/Cloudera, Barracuda, and Palo Alto Networks, including leading open-source work (Apache Knox) and architecting large-scale security platforms. Has driven disaster recovery and cloud security products, designed Python microservices for Microsoft 365 security, and scaled teams (3x) while formalizing enterprise readiness practices with automated documentation using Notebook LLM.”
