Key Strengths

  • Built and deployed 10+ AI/LLM production-grade applications
  • End-to-end RAG system design (ingestion, vectorization, retrieval tuning, chat UX) with citations and traceability
  • Strong hallucination mitigation via evidence-only answering, hard citation requirements, and refusal gating
  • Orchestrated scheduled data refresh pipelines with Airflow/Cloud Composer (scrape → clean/dedupe → chunk → embed → upsert)
  • Multi-agent system design and orchestration (7 specialized agents) with delegation, memory, feedback loops, and fallbacks
  • Reliability engineering for AI workflows: SLOs/metrics, schema-constrained outputs, deterministic control flows, retries/fallbacks
  • Testing and production observability for AI systems (unit tests, CI/CD smoke tests, logging, traces, drift alerts)
  • Effective collaboration with non-technical stakeholders to translate diligence checklists into structured outputs and prompts
