About

AI Engineer with production software engineering experience building GenAI systems, RAG pipelines, and agentic AI workflows at enterprise scale. Uses Windsurf as a standard part of daily engineering workflow to accelerate development, debugging, and test authoring, alongside hands-on experience integrating LLM APIs (Claude, GPT-4, Gemini) into production code with management of token limits, latency, and cost tradeoffs. Skilled in hybrid search (dense and sparse retrieval), embedding lifecycle management, multimodal RAG, and building guardrails for hallucination mitigation using Python, LangChain, LangGraph, and GCP. Experienced defining KPIs and ROI metrics to evaluate AI-assisted workflow effectiveness, and translating customer use cases into scalable, full-stack GenAI capabilities that integrate with enterprise tools like Jira and Figma.
