Senior Applied AI Engineer specializing in RAG and full-stack systems

San Jose, CA13y exp

“Backend engineer with experience building an end-to-end civic tech AI platform that ingests city council meeting videos, transcribes them with Whisper, and enables natural-language Q&A via a LangChain/FAISS RAG pipeline. Demonstrated strong systems thinking by tuning retrieval for accuracy/latency/memory (cutting response time ~3s→1s and memory ~500MB→25MB) and by safely migrating an ERP from monolith toward services using dual writes, reconciliation, and idempotency to protect financial workflows.”

“Union College robotics graduate with hands-on ROS experience building an independent “waiter bot” that took spoken orders (Mozilla DeepSpeech), used OpenCV, and navigated via SLAM on a TurtleBot with LiDAR. Also led the Union College Robotics crew for four years and implemented PID control for micromouse maze robots; has additional software deployment experience with Dockerized FastAPI and CI/CD from coursework.”

“Full-stack engineer with deep startup experience building products from scratch under ambiguous requirements. Delivered a scalable, admin-configurable notification platform (Spring Boot/Java/Kafka) supporting 50+ notification types across 3 channels for 10k+ users, cutting new notification setup to ~5 minutes. Also built a Tinder-meets-LinkedIn job-swiping app (React/TS + Node/Prisma) and has hands-on AWS production ops (ECS/EKS, RDS, CloudWatch) plus multiple third-party integrations (Stripe, QuickBooks, Twilio).”

“Senior backend/data engineer who has built and maintained HIPAA-compliant, real-time clinical FastAPI services on AWS, orchestrating ML/LLM and vector DB calls with strong reliability patterns (auth, timeouts/retries, graceful degradation, idempotency). Also delivered AWS IaC/CI-CD (Terraform/Helm/GitHub Actions) across EKS/Lambda/SageMaker and built Glue/Spark ETL with schema evolution and data quality controls, plus demonstrated large SQL performance wins (15 min to <9 sec) and hands-on incident ownership.”

“Music editor/composer and sound designer who treats audio as narrative—e.g., created a dialogue-free short film where music and SFX carried the story across multiple emotional chapters. Works across Ableton, Logic, and Pro Tools with iZotope RX for VO cleanup, and has adjusted mixes for YouTube/podcast retention (increasing music/SFX levels led to longer viewer watch time).”

“Built and shipped "OnCall Copilot," a production Slack-based RAG assistant that answers on-call questions from runbooks and postmortems with citations using a FAISS vector index. Emphasizes reliability and measurable performance via strict guardrails ("no evidence, no answer"), evaluation metrics, drift monitoring, and operational hardening with Docker, logging, health checks, and offline fallback.”

“Unity developer with broad cross-platform experience (HTC Vive VR, iOS/Android, Nintendo Switch, WebGL) who built a near-solo multiplayer AR iOS party game using Photon/PUN and AR Foundation. Demonstrates strong practical networking and performance optimization skills, including lag compensation and client-side shader-based rendering strategies.”

“Built and deployed a "personal second brain" product (CloneMind) with an end-to-end RAG pipeline for retrieving information across PDFs, URLs, images, and audio using Next.js/Node.js/Postgres/Supabase/Redis. Demonstrates strong practical depth in retrieval quality tuning, latency reduction via caching, and stateful orchestration with LangChain/LangGraph, plus experience persuading a non-technical professor stakeholder by shipping a working prototype.”

“Self-taught frontend developer with React/TypeScript project experience and strong QA background. Contributed as a QA tester on a Skunkworks web app by refining large story tickets, defining happy-path/edge test cases, and setting sprint metrics; also improved a legacy PHP web app by modularizing SFTP bulk upload code and enhancing page navigation.”

“Software engineer with hands-on production experience deploying Spring Boot services to AWS using Docker and Jenkins CI/CD, focused on stable releases, easy rollback, and performance improvements through monitoring/logging and query optimization. Has proven cross-layer troubleshooting skills (identified packet loss causing intermittent timeouts via network traces) and experience collaborating on-site with operators in industrial/IoT-style environments, including working alongside robotics/PLC teams.”

“Frontend-focused builder who has led multiple projects end-to-end, including a React/Vite/TypeScript weather app and an internal analytics dashboard optimized for large, time-based datasets.
