Entry Software Engineer specializing in cloud backend and microservices

Tempe, AZ1y exp

“Built production-oriented LLM agent systems for incident investigation and CRM workflows using LangGraph, FastAPI, AWS, and retrieval grounding. Stands out for treating agents like real software systems—adding schema enforcement, retries, fallbacks, monitoring, and eval loops—and tying that work to measurable gains in accuracy, latency, and analysis speed.”

“Unity/C# engineer with hands-on ownership of a server-backed resource loading pipeline that kept build size small, preserved UI responsiveness via parallel services, and handled dynamic asset replacement with ghost objects and memory cleanup.
