Deep hands-on experience with VIOS/HMC, DLPAR performance issues, SAN/vFC failures and failover recovery, plus modern DevOps practices (Azure DevOps CI/CD, Key Vault) and Terraform-based AWS infrastructure with remote state/locking and drift controls.”

“Built and launched a verified listings system for Burrow (student subleasing) after interviewing ~50 students about scam/fake listing concerns; chose a lightweight .edu-based verification approach to ship fast and then iterated with badges and clearer details, reducing churn from 15% to 7%. Also ran an LLM A/B test for auto-generating listing descriptions and improved trust/accuracy by updating prompts to prevent hallucinated details.”

“DevOps/Infrastructure engineer with hands-on production experience building Jenkins CI/CD pipelines that provision Kubernetes infrastructure and process data into a MapR cluster. Uses Terraform to provision AWS resources (EC2, S3, VPC, subnets) with remote state in S3, separate environment state files, and code review/validation practices; targeting $135k base.”

“Built a demo-live LangGraph/LangSmith LLM agent that translates natural language into SQL against a self-built MLB statistics database, using a vector-store knowledge base of example queries. Focused on predictable orchestration via conditional nodes, YAML-driven behaviors, and tool-gated function calling, with testing via LangSmith and Python scripts.”

“Built and launched “Language AI,” a Next.js/TypeScript app that clones a user’s voice (via ElevenLabs) to deliver language lessons in their own voice, using Supabase for auth/Postgres/storage and hosting backend on Render. Post-launch, identified ElevenLabs voice-clone limits after initial users and reworked the pipeline to store audio assets and delete clones to support more concurrent users; also added Google auth to improve adoption. Previously worked in a high-growth startup environment (Study Park) taking concepts from ideation to production.”
