About
Co-founded a healthcare AI startup building and deploying software directly with end users, emphasizing rapid shipping, deep user interviews, and workflow-first adoption. Has hands-on production deployment experience on AWS (including diagnosing a silent AWS App Runner failure caused by an ARM vs amd64 Docker build mismatch) and is motivated by customer-facing, travel-heavy roles to keep engineering tightly connected to real-world usage.

Built and shipped customer-facing software as a healthcare AI startup co-founder
Uses fast user-interview-driven iteration to validate real-world needs
Pragmatic product pivoting to fit into existing customer workflows and reduce adoption friction
Collaborative API/system integration approach with customer technical teams and internal engineers
Methodical production troubleshooting on AWS; identified root cause as ARM/amd64 Docker image mismatch with silent App Runner failures
Balances prototyping vs production quality using staged rigor (linters/tests for MVPs; staging + integration tests for production; explores formal methods when needed)

Mid-level Applied AI Engineer specializing in LLM infrastructure and model optimization
San Jose, CA3y exp
AMDUSC
“LLM engineer who has deployed privacy-preserving, real-time workplace risk monitoring over massive enterprise chat/email streams, tackling latency, hallucinations, and extreme class imbalance with model benchmarking, RAG + fine-tuning, and a pre-filter alerting layer. Also built an agentic legal contract drafting system (Jurisagent) using LangGraph/LangChain with deterministic multi-agent control flow, structured outputs, and reliability-focused evaluation/telemetry.”

MedtronicUniversity of Illinois Chicago
“AI Engineer (Medtronic) who deployed a production RAG-based clinical assistant grounded in curated biomedical literature (no patient-identifiable data). Deep hands-on experience orchestrating and hardening LLM workflows with LangChain/LangGraph, including stateful agentic flows, rigorous testing, and evaluation; reports a 72% accuracy improvement through retrieval enhancements (query rewriting, multi-query expansion, MMR reranking).”

“Industrial AI/ML practitioner with experience deploying real-time monitoring and anomaly detection in a regulated Sanofi vaccine manufacturing facility, including root-cause workflows, logging/alerting, and SOP-aligned validation—achieving ~90% faster anomaly detection. Also built Python/NLP-style automation to accelerate instrumentation & control documentation (~40% faster) and delivered end-to-end predictive analytics for an agri-food operations/distribution client using close operator and leadership feedback loops.”
