Seattle, WA6y exp

“AI engineer who shipped a production chat assistant for a storage company by building the underlying RAG-style knowledge base (document ingestion, chunking/embeddings, FAISS vector store) and an admin update interface to keep content current. Also has full-stack delivery experience (Python REST APIs + React/TypeScript UI) and AWS operations using Terraform/Jenkins, including handling a real production performance incident by optimizing DB queries and adding auto-scaling.”

“Built and deployed NeuroDoc, a production-grade RAG system for PDF Q&A that delivers citation-backed answers with strong anti-hallucination guardrails. Experienced in orchestrating and scaling ML/LLM pipelines with Kubernetes, Airflow/Prefect, and PyTorch Distributed, and in building rigorous evaluation and citation-verification tooling to ensure reliability in production.”

“Built and shipped production LLM agents for real-time, high-concurrency conversational systems, including a RAG-based pipeline with dynamic multi-provider routing and failover that achieved 99.99% reliability and sub-800ms latency. Also architected a UAV telemetry chatbot with tool-calling (anomaly detection/summarization), strict schema validation, and robust eval/monitoring loops, cutting tool-call errors by 30% and reducing operational costs by 90%.”
