Key Strengths

  • Owned end-to-end backend architecture for a FastAPI + AWS document Q&A/RAG system
  • Improved retrieval accuracy and latency via chunking, top-K tuning, prompt iteration, and caching
  • Built resilient APIs with graceful degradation/fallback logic for vector store/LLM failures
  • Implemented secure auth with AWS Cognito plus logging/monitoring for troubleshooting and performance tuning
  • Production Kubernetes deployment experience (Docker, manifests, HPA, ConfigMaps/Secrets, GPU scheduling with node selectors/limits)
  • GitOps CI/CD with Argo CD (automated sync, health checks, rolling updates, auto rollback)
  • Executed zero-downtime on-prem to cloud migration using parallel run and gradual traffic cutover
  • Designed and optimized Kafka streaming pipelines (partitioning, offset tracking, scaling consumers, hot partition troubleshooting with Prometheus/Grafana)
  • Built and deployed customer-facing document processing automation that reduced manual processing time
  • Strong customer discovery and iterative delivery via frequent demos and feedback
  • Structured API integration approach (workflow/data flow analysis, auth, rate limits, sandbox testing)
  • Production troubleshooting under pressure (handled breaking external API change and restored service within minutes)
  • Improves system resilience post-incident (validation/fallback logic, monitoring/alerting, added test cases and documentation)
  • Balances rapid prototyping with maintainable production code through refactoring, tests, and clean architecture
