Principal AI Automation Engineer | Senior Software Engineer
I build cloud-native distributed systems, retrieval pipelines, and LLM-powered applications. I specialize in serverless AI platforms, high-throughput APIs, and productionizing LLM workloads end to end—from data pipelines and evals to observability and cost control.
