About

LLM/RAG engineer who took a PDF-heavy agent from prototype to production for an Africa-based client, combining Pinecone retrieval with robust PDF parsing (unstructured.io, OCR, structured table extraction). Demonstrates strong production mindset (eval metrics, prompt hardening, security/scalability) and measurable optimization impact (30% efficiency gain, 2x faster responses), and has helped close deals by building security-focused POCs for skeptical IT stakeholders.
