About

GenAI builder and technical lead with ~2 years of hands-on production experience, including GENIE (a GenAI sandbox for ~44,000 Massachusetts public-sector employees) and A-IEP, a multilingual platform helping parents understand complex IEP documents (cut processing from ~15 minutes to ~2 and used by 1,000+ parents). Strong in RAG/agentic architectures, AWS serverless + Step Functions orchestration, and rigorous evaluation/guardrails for reliable real-world deployments.

Key Strengths

• Led technical architecture/model selection/prompt & pipeline reviews across 20+ GenAI projects (2024–2025)
• Designed and deployed end-to-end GenAI systems (RAG + agent-based) from prototype to production
• Built A-IEP GenAI platform used by 1,000+ parents across multiple languages; reduced processing time ~15 min to ~2 min
• Strong workflow orchestration for reliability (AWS Step Functions with retries/backoff, branching, checkpoints, parallelization)
• Rigorous agent/workflow testing with golden datasets and regression evals; measures faithfulness/completeness/extraction accuracy plus latency/cost
• Ability to deliver production-quality GenAI quickly under pressure (2nd place AWS x Riot Games VCT Hackathon)
• Effective communication with non-technical stakeholders; presented GENIE to the Governor of Massachusetts and co-built A-IEP with parents
