About me
Intro
Most AI engineers can build a demo. I build the thing that runs in production at 2am without breaking. I'm a Full Stack AI Engineer specializing in LLM orchestration and agentic systems — the kind that actually handle failure gracefully, scale under load, and integrate cleanly into real products. Over the past two years I've gone from building core backend APIs for a Product Hunt Top-10 launch, to architecting an entire internal developer platform that cut time-to-market by 50% and reduced project bootstrapping from 3 weeks to under 10 minutes. My day-to-day lives at the intersection of FastAPI, LangGraph, and AWS — designing multi-agent pipelines, building RAG systems with measurable eval metrics (not vibes), and wiring LLMs to external APIs in ways that don't fall apart when a tool call fails. I care a lot about observability: if you can't trace what your agent did and why, you don't have a production system, you have a prototype with good marketing. What I bring that's harder to find: I think in systems, not just models. I've handled the OAuth layer for secure token management, the Redis/Celery layer for performance, and the ALB re-architecture that kept a live product standing during a major conference launch. I write tests. I set up CI/CD. I make the whole thing shippable. Right now I'm looking for a role or contract where I can work with a team building serious AI products — ideally a company that's past the "should we use AI?" phase and is figuring out how to make it reliable.
