Demonstrates strong ownership in fast-changing environments, including building full-stack AI applications and ingestion/ETL pipelines at Robotics Technologies LLC.”

“Backend engineer who built an e-commerce order processing service in Python/Flask with PostgreSQL, focusing on correctness and reliability (idempotency, Redis locks, async payment processing with circuit breakers). Also integrated an ML recommendation system as a separate FastAPI inference service with caching and async embedding updates, reporting ~25% CTR lift, and has experience with multi-tenant isolation using PostgreSQL row-level security.”

“Backend engineer with experience at Roche and Jarsy focused on API and data-layer performance. Re-architected slow generalized endpoints into more efficient APIs (30% faster lookups) and led a schema refactor/migration with feature-flag rollout, dual writes, rollback scripts, and automated integrity checks; also addressed pipeline duplicate-entry issues via deduplication.”

“Built and scaled a multi-agent LLM automation pipeline during a fintech internship, growing from a rapid 1-week proof-of-concept to a 15+ agent hierarchical system that cut market brief report generation time from ~5 hours to under 30 minutes. Hands-on with agent frameworks (Haystack, CrewAI, LangChain) and experienced in debugging agent communication issues via sandboxed modular testing and context/token management; also regularly gives architecture-first technical demos at multiple hackathons and university events.”

“Backend/platform engineer with production ownership of high-volume transaction analytics and fraud monitoring services built in Java/Spring Boot. Has scaled data processing platforms (including healthcare datasets) and operated Kafka-based event pipelines with schema versioning, deduplication, and replay/backfill workflows, using strong observability via CloudWatch/Grafana and CI/CD with Jenkins.”
