Building production-grade AI systems with Python — from intelligent APIs and agentic workflows to grounded retrieval, document intelligence, and scalable cloud infrastructure.
I'm a senior software engineer focused on Python, AI/LLM systems, RAG, semantic search, vector retrieval, document intelligence, and scalable backend architecture.
My recent work has centered on building production AI systems that do more than call a model — they retrieve the right evidence, validate structured outputs, orchestrate multi-step workflows, and return grounded answers with traceable citations.
- Building production APIs with Python, FastAPI, Pydantic, SQLAlchemy, and AsyncIO, with additional backend experience in Go, C#, .NET, and Node.js
- Designing RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, semantic search, and vector retrieval with frameworks like Pinecone, Qdrant, and Milvus
- Integrating Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, and Google Gemini
- Building document extraction, classification, enrichment, and search workflows
- Designing high-throughput backend services and distributed systems
- Working with PostgreSQL, MongoDB Atlas, vector databases, and retrieval ranking
- Deploying containerized AI services with Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, Terraform, and cloud infrastructure
- Supporting AI products with React, Next.js, and TypeScript when full-stack delivery is needed

- AI-powered search and document intelligence platforms
- RAG systems with semantic search and vector databases (Pinecone, Qdrant, Milvus, pgvector)
- Agentic workflows with multi-step search and tool use
- Citation-grounded LLM applications
- Structured extraction and classification pipelines
- High-throughput Python and Go APIs and asynchronous services
- Data normalization, ranking, deduplication, and enrichment workflows
- Production AI systems deployed on AWS with Terraform and containers
Built and enhanced an AI-powered regulatory intelligence platform using Python, FastAPI, Pydantic, SQLAlchemy, AsyncIO, Anthropic Claude, semantic search, and vector search.
Key contributions:
- Built multi-step agentic retrieval workflows
- Integrated structured LLM outputs for document and reference extraction
- Designed related-document discovery and enrichment pipelines
- Implemented citation-grounded answers to reduce unsupported responses
- Improved search quality with fuzzy matching, recency scoring, and metadata boosts
- Separated LLM enrichment from deterministic search services
- Added async processing, validation, error handling, and automated tests
Worked on high-volume gaming and transactional platforms including Crash, TurboGames, Slots, Jackpot, and WinBoxes.
Key contributions:
- Optimized high-volume bet ingestion and stored procedures
- Improved platform scalability for transaction-heavy workloads
- Supported modular FastGame architecture and independent deployments
- Modernized legacy components and upgraded SDK integrations
- Improved maintainability, release flexibility, and production reliability
Built backend infrastructure for real-time trading and brokerage platforms.
Key contributions:
- Designed high-throughput APIs and transaction workflows
- Integrated external financial and liquidity-provider APIs
- Worked on low-latency and concurrent processing systems
- Optimized database access and real-time data flows
- Built reliable distributed backend services
Developed Python automation for geospatial and surveying workflows using Python, ArcPy, and ArcGIS SDK.
Key contributions:
- Automated repetitive spatial-data processing
- Built reusable data-transformation and validation utilities
- Developed batch-processing workflows for geospatial datasets
- Improved engineering productivity through Python tooling
I focus on AI systems that are:
- Grounded — responses should be supported by retrieved evidence
- Reliable — structured validation, testing, error handling, and fallbacks matter
- Scalable — retrieval and model workflows should handle growing data and traffic
- Observable — production AI needs logs, metrics, and traceable behavior
- Maintainable — probabilistic AI logic should be separated from deterministic application logic
- Useful — AI should solve real workflow problems, not just demonstrate model capabilities
I'm open to collaborating on Python and Go backend systems, AI/LLM applications, RAG, semantic search, vector databases, document processing, retrieval architecture, and production AI infrastructure on AWS.
