I'm an AI Developer and Backend Engineer with 3+ years of production experience building AI/LLM-powered applications, distributed RAG systems, and cloud-native REST APIs across AWS and Azure.
Currently completing my MS at UIC, I focus on agentic AI systems, multi-agent LLM architectures, and scalable ML pipelines. I enjoy working at the intersection of AI research and real-world engineering, building systems that are production-ready, not just experimental.
Previously at PwC as a Senior Software Engineer for 3.5+ years, I built and deployed 10+ REST APIs for a B2C SaaS talent marketplace serving 32K+ active users, streamlined CI/CD pipelines achieving 98% deployment success, led a 10-member incident response team, and mentored 5 engineering interns.
