Experienced in legacy modernization and reliability work using feature flags, event/transaction replay, and rapid embedded delivery.”

“Built GoEngineer’s first production AI systems, including an end-to-end RAG pipeline for SolidWorks technical support using Azure Blob Storage, Azure AI Search, and Azure OpenAI, plus an AI summarization feature adopted by sales/customer success. Strong in productionizing LLM workflows with evaluation harnesses (golden sets, LLM-as-judge, red teaming, shadow deploys) and Azure infrastructure integrations (Redis, Service Bus, App Insights), and has also implemented a custom MCP server for agentic monitoring.”

“Backend/full-stack engineer who has owned production systems end-to-end, including a Dockerized Node.js/TypeScript probabilistic fault-tree analysis service for nuclear safety research deployed on AWS. Also built and operated a FastAPI-based RAG pipeline over 200+ PDFs using FAISS, focusing on low-latency, idempotent workflows and strong observability; experienced with API design and Playwright E2E automation across React/Angular projects.”

“Built and shipped production LLM/RAG systems at Mayo Clinic, including a conversational AI assistant for patient pre-consultation and a clinical-trial matching tool for doctors. Implemented HIPAA-compliant de-identification and guardrails, plus real-time feedback logging and fine-tuning that improved response accuracy by 15% and reduced admin workload by 25%.”

“Backend-focused engineer with strong .NET/Angular experience building enterprise financial and healthcare systems, including microservice APIs deployed with Docker/Kubernetes and AWS ECS. Demonstrates production reliability skills across secrets management (Secrets Manager/IAM), incident response (CloudWatch + Kafka failover), and data engineering patterns from SSIS ETL (data quality, incremental recovery), plus proven SQL tuning with a 10-minute report reduced to under 30 seconds.”

“GenAI/LLMOps practitioner who deployed a production RAG-based customer service and knowledge retrieval system for a global bank using LangChain, FAISS/Azure Cognitive Search, GPT-4/Claude, and Guardrails—driving a reported 35% Q&A accuracy lift while reducing handle time and escalations. Also partnered with non-technical leaders at CVS Health to deliver ML-driven supply chain risk and inventory insights via anomaly detection, NLG summaries, and stakeholder-friendly dashboards.”

“Banking infrastructure engineer who owns large-scale IBM Power/AIX (AIX 7.x, VIOS, HMC/vHMC) environments with hundreds of LPARs and deep PowerHA/SAN recovery experience. Also builds modern cloud delivery platforms—Azure DevOps/Jenkins CI/CD and Terraform for AWS/Azure (EKS/AKS, networking, security)—bridging legacy mission-critical systems and cloud-native automation.”

“CTO-for-equity founder who partners with non-technical co-founders to bring AI-powered product ideas to market, emphasizing financial viability and go-to-market planning over "just an MVP."
