“Backend/platform engineer who has built and run production Python/Flask + Kafka microservices processing RFID and camera/RFID fusion streams for near-real-time retail cart updates at ~4–5M events/day. Strong in reliability/performance debugging (p99 latency, Kafka lag, Cosmos DB RU hot partitions) with measurable impact including ~30% database cost reduction, and has also shipped an end-to-end vulnerability scanning workflow with DynamoDB-backed state, idempotency, and robust retry/verification guardrails.”

“Capgemini engineer who helped take a travel insurance platform from prototype demos to a stable production system by clarifying requirements, hardening API contracts, and adding validation/logging to handle real customer data and external integrations. Experienced in real-time troubleshooting of complex workflows (including LLM/agentic-style workflows) through strong observability practices, and in leading practical developer-focused demos that accelerate client integration and adoption.”

“Recruiting Operations/Talent Ops leader who owns end-to-end TA process, tech stack, and vendors, with experience managing both small direct teams and 20+ person matrix groups. Led complex compliance-focused workflow redesigns (including consent and candidate-to-req linking with 97% completion in 24 hours) and served as TA project manager for a PeopleSoft-to-Workday HCM transition while keeping the ATS running, aligning US/Canada process differences through security and routing.”

“Built and owned "Cortex," an AI agent that helps users understand large GitHub repositories by mapping architecture and relationships between files/folders in minutes. Implemented an agentic, multi-stage prompt decomposition approach and validated it across open-source repos, while also doing legacy service modernization work involving dependency upgrades and refactors.”

“ML/Backend engineer with ServiceNow experience building production-grade inference services on FastAPI with Docker/Kubernetes (autoscaling, health checks) and strong reliability practices (monitoring, retries/timeouts, fallbacks). Delivered measurable improvements including 30% lower API latency and 18% higher model accuracy, and built A/B testing plus drift-triggered retraining loops to keep models stable in production.”
