About

I’m a skilled AI Software Engineer for 7+ years of experience building intelligent systems, from generative AI to voice interfaces and agentic automation.

Recently, I’ve focused on full-stack AI development using React Native, React, Flask, and cloud platforms like AWS and GCP — with deep expertise in LLMs, RAG, computer vision, and real-time speech systems across industries like enterprise SaaS, content automation, and virtual media.

Butterflies.ai is a social media platform where users can create and interact with AI characters and other humans in a “digital playground”. The platform allows users to build their own AI friends with unique personalities, engage in chats with these AI and human users, and share content through posts and comments. Founded by former Snap employees, Butterflies.ai aims to enhance AI realism and provide a social space for both humans and AI to coexist and create content.

Work experience

Full Stack AI Engineer · Matik AIJan 2024 – Mar 2025 · 1 yr 3 mos

• Architected and deployed multi-agent LLM systems using LangGraph + Autogen to automate internal tooling and user support workflows, reducing manual ticket resolution by 60%. • Engineered GPT-4o + Claude 3.5 hybrid pipelines with structured output parsing and tool calling for highaccuracy enterprise search and summarization. • Optimized RAG pipelines using Pinecone + LangChain for contextual retrieval across 10M+ document corpus, improving answer relevance by 35%. • Built real-time voice interfaces using Whisper + ElevenLabs integrated into mobile apps (React Native), enabling hands-free user interactions for accessibility features. • Leveraged MCP (Model Context Protocol) to dynamically route prompts between specialized models (Gemini for reasoning, Mistral for speed, GPT-4 for creativity). • Instrumented LangSmith for prompt versioning, A/B testing, and latency monitoring — reduced hallucination rate by 22% through iterative refinement. • Deployed vLLM + Unsloth for cost-efficient fine-tuning and inference of domain-specific LLMs on GCP Vertex AI.

Software Engineer · Glass HealthFeb 2021 – Nov 2023 · 2 yrs 10 mos

• Engineered high-performance RAG architectures using LangChain + Pinecone (10M+ docs) and Weaviate + PostgreSQL — improving answer relevance by 35% and enabling semantic search with <200ms latency. Built hybrid keyword + vector search systems for enterprise applications. • Implemented and optimized production RAG pipelines using Pinecone, Weaviate, and FAISS — supporting contextual retrieval for LLMs across multimodal datasets (text, image metadata, user logs) at scale. • Implemented async Python workflows (asyncio, Celery) for concurrent model inference, media processing, and webhook handling — enabling scalable, non-blocking AI pipelines serving 10K+ requests/month. • Built real-time data ingestion and preprocessing pipelines for generative AI platforms — cleaning, deduplicating, and structuring user-generated content before vectorization. Integrated streaming via Twilio/Bland.ai for live conversational data.

AI Engineer · NovaverseOct 2019 – Feb 2023 · 3 yrs 5 mos

• Developed video generation backend integrating OpenCV + Stable Diffusion Video pipelines for real estate virtual staging — processed 10K+ videos/month. • Implemented LangChain agents to automate video script → voiceover → asset eneration → publishing workflows — cut production time from 3 days to 4 hours. • Engineered GraphQL + Flask APIs to serve multimodal AI outputs (image, text, video) to OpenReact/React Native frontends with <1s latency. • Pioneered use of Ollama + LlamaIndex for local LLM inference in client demos — enabled offline-capable AI features without cloud dependency. • Collaborated with CV researchers (3 co-authored publications) on diffusion model optimization for edge deployment — achieved 3x speedup on mobile GPUs.
