Mid-level Software Automation Engineer specializing in AI and healthcare IT

Santa Rosa, CA5y exp

“Built production automation systems spanning Python integrations, analytics sync pipelines, and internal workflow apps. Notably automated an architectural site inspection process end-to-end with an app, database, and letter generation engine that reduced workload by 20%, and improved reliability of a Botpress/Supabase/Airtable cron integration by eliminating recurring rate-limit failures through batching.”

“Backend/AI engineer who built an enterprise RAG chatbot over 40,000+ technical documents, owning the system from ingestion and retrieval design through launch, optimization, and incident prevention. Stands out for treating LLM reliability as a data, retrieval, and observability problem—delivering 90%+ benchmark accuracy, ~50% fewer hallucinations, and major gains in lookup speed and latency.”

“Backend-focused engineer who built Codesdev V1.0 end-to-end, a cloud-native IDE with secure Docker-based code execution across 8 languages and a custom PostgreSQL JSONB virtual file system achieving 34ms retrieval. Stands out for pragmatic early-stage decision-making, hands-on ownership from architecture through incident resolution, and a strong focus on security and low-latency backend design.”
