Work Experience

AI Engineer at Sparkling Co.
September 1, 2024 - Present
Engineered an agentic RAG pipeline using FastAPI and the Model Context Protocol (MCP), implementing semantic chunking and schema-driven LLM extraction to autonomously parse raw CVs into strict data formats; Optimized information extraction by applying PEFT (LoRA) to fine-tune the LLM, encoding embeddings into Pinecone to run semantic similarity searches against job descriptions; Architected a hierarchical multi-agent pipeline using Claude Code, featuring a lead planner agent that interfaces with Jira for task generation and autonomously delegates code execution to specialized worker agents; Engineered robust data pipelines by querying complex operational datasets with SQL and preprocessing unstructured text via Pandas to optimize downstream model ingestion; Containerized applications using Docker and built GitOps CI/CD pipelines for automated deployment on AWS using ArgoCD and k3s.
Software Engineer / IT Consultant at Netcompany
September 1, 2022 - March 1, 2024
Prototyped engagement propensity models using Vertex AI and BigQuery ML (XGBoost), defining the SQL data pipelines and evaluation metrics necessary to transition experimental AI features into production environments; Contributed to refactoring core microservices for the British National Careers Service (NCS), improving codebase maintainability for a platform supporting 650,000+ annual users and reducing deployment bottlenecks; Collaborated on backend feature development for the Mit.dk mailbox application, delivering stable code to support the 2023 launch for 3 million citizens.
