“Built ToolDreamer, a framework for selecting relevant tools for LLM agents by training a retriever on LLM-generated reasoning traces, and has hands-on experience building multi-agent systems in AutoGen (MAG-V) focused on question generation and tool-trajectory verification. Currently works as an AI-guides supervisor at Penn State, regularly communicating AI concepts to non-technical stakeholders.”

“Frontend engineer who led end-to-end architecture for a cross-platform Payments Checkout SDK at Inai Technologies, scaling it to support iOS/Android/React Native/Flutter/Capacitor and powering 2.4M+ transactions per month. Emphasizes performance (bundle size/tree-shaking), OTA update delivery for mobile wrappers, and strong engineering guardrails (SonarQube, Snyk, CI/CD, regression suites, Sentry/PostHog) to ship quickly with high quality.”

“Backend engineer focused on Python/FastAPI microservices, with hands-on experience deploying to AWS (EKS/ECR) via Jenkins and GitOps-style workflows using ArgoCD. Has built and stabilized real-time Kafka payment-event streaming pipelines and improved production performance under peak load through Redis caching, SQL optimization, and robust retry/DLQ patterns. Also supported phased migrations from on-prem environments to AWS with gradual traffic shifting and monitoring.”

“Built and deployed an LLM-powered analytics assistant enabling business users to ask questions in plain English and receive validated Spark SQL executed in Databricks, with a Streamlit/Flask UI. Addressed strict client schema-privacy constraints by implementing a RAG strategy and ultimately leveraging AWS Bedrock and fine-tuned reference docs. Also has production ML pipeline experience using Docker + Airflow and AWS (S3/ECS/EC2) for financial classification models.”

“AI/ML engineer with HP experience building and productionizing an LLM-powered document intelligence platform (LangChain + Pinecone) to deliver semantic search and contextual Q&A across millions of enterprise support documents. Demonstrates strong MLOps and scaling expertise (Airflow, Kubernetes autoscaling, Triton GPU inference, monitoring with Prometheus/W&B) plus a structured approach to evaluation (A/B tests, shadow deployments, failover) and effective collaboration with non-technical stakeholders.”

“Engineering leader (Credit Karma/fintech) who built internal developer-platform frameworks at near open-source scale, including a unified key management system migrating ~450 services from on-prem HSM to a centralized KMS.
