Santa Clara, CA5y exp

“Solo builder who shipped two ambitious AI products from scratch: Zoly, a healthcare/pharmacy automation platform with voice agents, RAG, clinician dashboard, and patient app live in 4 months, and Breeth, a contextual memory system for AI agents deployed on AWS. Particularly compelling for teams needing a hands-on full-stack/AI engineer who can operate in ambiguity, design for safety and compliance, and turn complex agent workflows into production products.”

“New grad software engineer who has already built both a full-stack location-based social app and an internal AI on-call copilot using OpenAI and LangChain. Stands out for combining end-to-end product execution with practical LLM engineering, including RAG, fallback design, citations, and production evals, plus shipping a hackathon-winning MVP in 24 hours.”

“Software engineering intern who built and deployed a full-stack telemedicine platform (React/Node/MongoDB) used daily in a pediatric clinic, incorporating PyTorch-based predictive features. Demonstrated strong customer-facing iteration and production performance debugging—resolved a live slowdown by indexing/optimizing MongoDB queries and adding caching, improving response times by ~50%.”

“Built a production multi-agent RAG assistant using LangChain/LangGraph with OpenAI embeddings and FAISS, focusing on retrieval quality and latency (Redis caching, parallel retrieval, precomputed embeddings). Experienced orchestrating ETL/ML pipelines with Airflow and Databricks Workflows, and has delivered an AI assistant for business ops to extract insights from policy/compliance documents through close non-technical stakeholder collaboration.”

“Built production LLM/agent systems for procurement and contract spend controls, including a proactive contract value leakage detection platform that moved an organization from reactive audits to pre-payment rejection. Combines multi-agent orchestration (Semantic Kernel/LangChain/AutoGen), document AI benchmarking (Textract vs Azure DI), and MLOps/testing (MLflow, QTest/Pytest) with strong security practices (RAG-grounded responses to prevent prompt injection). Integrated anomaly alerts directly into SAP SES workflows and Power BI dashboards, citing ~$38M leakage addressed across large spend environments.”
