“Founder/builder of an EdTech startup (robograde.io) who personally conducted on-site classroom discovery with teachers and rapidly iterated the product based on real-world feedback. Implemented a Canvas LMS integration and refined it through weeks of in-person testing, and handled a live production grading failure by quickly debugging and deploying a fix, then adding fault-tolerant/backup API design.”

“LLM/RAG engineer who has shipped production systems in high-stakes domains (fraud analytics at Mastercard and security compliance as a CI/CD gate). Strong focus on reliability: hybrid retrieval for latency, citation-backed outputs for trust, and code-driven eval/regression pipelines using golden datasets. Also built scalable OCR-based ingestion for messy classroom artifacts (handwriting, PDFs, whiteboard photos) using Go/Python and cloud services.”

“Infrastructure reliability/capacity-focused engineer with hands-on IBM Power/AIX (LPAR/DLPAR, HMC, VIOS) performance troubleshooting and modern cloud-native delivery experience. Built production CI/CD and Terraform-managed AWS/EKS environments, and has led real incident recoveries spanning Kubernetes autoscaling and AWS quota constraints with concrete RCA and prevention improvements.”
