About

Built a 24/7 Python/LangChain email agent in production with validation, circuit breakers, human-review escalation, and structured observability. Also applied data and automation skills at Community Dreams Foundation, including turning a vague donor-insights request into a usable donor-risk prediction workflow and raising ETL reliability from roughly 85% to 99% by diagnosing SQLite concurrency issues.

Key Strengths

• built a 24/7 production Python email agent end-to-end
• designed reliability safeguards for LLM non-determinism
• implemented structured logging and daily operational summaries
• used unit and integration testing to harden production systems
• practical failure-mode thinking for external API timeouts and agent loops
• translated ambiguous nonprofit goals into actionable donor-risk prediction
• improved pipeline reliability from ~85% to 99% by debugging SQLite lock timeouts
• strong root-cause analysis in flaky production ETL environments
