“Built and operated an end-to-end customer-facing "Record Platform" web product as both engineer and primary user, focusing on reliability and correctness in core flows like search and checkout. Implemented a TypeScript/React frontend with a multi-service backend and Kafka-based event-driven architecture, and created internal tooling to automate risky ops like Kubernetes TLS certificate rotation with k6 load/chaos testing (including HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 validation).”

“Graduate Assistant Intern at Friends University who built and deployed a GenAI-driven requirement understanding system that automates extraction and semantic grouping of technical requirements from large unstructured documents. Demonstrates strong LLM engineering rigor (golden datasets, regression testing, post-processing validation) and production-minded delivery using LangChain/LlamaIndex orchestration, FastAPI microservices, Docker, and cloud deployment.”

“Backend-focused engineer with experience owning a production e-commerce platform end-to-end (TypeScript/Node/Express, React, MongoDB, Redis) including RBAC and contract-based API development. Also worked at Infosys on a large healthcare management system built with Spring Boot microservices, using Kafka for messaging/retries, circuit breakers for resilience, and OpenTelemetry/Swagger for observability and API documentation.”

“ML/AI engineer with production experience in high-scale banking fraud detection at Truist, building an end-to-end pipeline (Airflow/AWS Glue/Snowflake, PyTorch/sklearn) with automated retraining and Kubernetes-based deployment; delivered measurable gains (22% fewer false positives, 15% higher recall) and reduced manual ops ~40%.
