“Backend engineer who built and evolved an internal multi-agent AI research platform (Electron + FastAPI) integrating OpenAI, focused on fast, reproducible experimentation with strong observability and run metadata for debugging. Has led incremental backend refactors with feature flags and parallel validation, and brings production-grade access control expertise from ServiceNow (table/field ACLs and row-level-style enforcement).”

“Robotics software candidate focused on simulation-to-learning workflows, building a novel-view-synthesis pipeline (USCiLab3D) with a multi-modal diffusion model and a LiDAR-driven, geometry-aware sampling strategy for selecting overlapping reference views across trajectories/seasons. Also designed coordinated motion planning for two Ridgeback-Franka robots in Isaac Lab for a non-prehensile collaborative task, augmenting controller limitations with RL-based self-collision termination states.”

“Built and deployed a retail customer review intelligence platform by fine-tuning BERT for sentiment/topic extraction and pairing it with a recommendation component. Demonstrates strong production ML rigor (error analysis, relabeling/active sampling, thresholding/guardrails, OOD checks) and AWS-based orchestration at scale (Lambda + SageMaker with batching and concurrency controls), plus proven ability to align non-technical stakeholders on measurable outcomes.”

“Cloud infrastructure/product engineer with end-to-end ownership of cloud-native storage/observability products, including taking an internal CMS to Google Cloud Marketplace and scaling to ~40,000 deployments. Strong in Kubernetes-based platforms (Operators, microservices, RabbitMQ) and performance/scalability work (e.g., 200% cluster capacity increase) plus internal tooling that materially improved SRE/QA debugging and release velocity.”
