I build AI systems that actually ship. Eight years in, I still get a kick out of turning a messy pile of PDFs, tickets, or voice notes into an agent that saves a room full of people their Saturdays. I design agentic workflows and LLMs that can call their own tools (pay APIs, query warehouses, open tickets) and stop when the job is done. I also build document intelligence and OCR + RAG pipelines that read large documents and spit out the three numbers the CFO cares about, and I maintain a robust full-stack backbone on AWS/Azure so the data-science workloads run reliably even during Black Friday rushes.…I build AI systems that actually ship.

Work Experience

Senior Machine Learning Engineer (with FullStack Integration) at Synfini Capital L.L.C

May 1, 2024 - Present

Owned the end-to-end build of an LLM agent that reads a Zendesk ticket, calls five internal APIs, and either answers the customer or assigns the right human — with a 96% intent-match F1. Shipped a React/Tailwind mission-control UI for prompt template editing behind a feature flag, enabling rollout in under 5 minutes with no downtime. Reduced tier-1 response time from 4.2 hours to 2.5 hours in the first quarter, while CSAT remained flat.

Senior Full-Stack Engineer at Tank Payments

August 1, 2021 - May 1, 2024

Replaced a 12-person offshore key-entry team with an OCR + rules pipeline that ingests invoices, ACH confirmations, and voided checks; 60% faster close, 90% fewer keystroke errors. Built a human-in-the-loop review queue in React for PDF-side-by-side extraction with one-click overrides and auto-generated audit trails. Operated on spot-instance GPU boxes; infra cost stayed under 3 cents per document even as volume grew 10x after Series B.

Senior Software Engineer at Lofty

February 1, 2019 - May 1, 2021

Migrated legacy Angular + Spring monolith to ECS by carving out property-search, saved-search, and notification services; page load dropped from 2.1s to 1.2s (+40%), conversion up 15%. Trained a two-tower embedding model on 18M clickstream events; 'Similar Homes' CTR beat the hand-curated list by 32%. Led weekly A/B pods with the product team; only ship if p-value is green.

Software Engineer (Full Stack & Computer Vision) at Cenote

April 1, 2016 - January 1, 2018

Wrapped a PyTorch retinopathy model behind a FastAPI service; radiologists see a heat-map overlay in the PACS viewer, reducing diagnostic step time by 30%. Passed HIPAA pen-test on the first try with no critical findings, enabling an earlier hospital contract close.

Software Engineer at Coast Guard RDC

January 1, 2018 - February 1, 2019

Built a React/Mapbox dashboard that fuses AIS telemetry with weather and port schedules so mission planners see collision-risk heat maps 6 hours before vessels berth. Streamed 2k messages/sec through Kinesis + Lambda; latency from buoy to browser <3s over a 128 kbps satellite link. Demo to a room of admirals secured phase-two funding on the spot.

Shipped a React/Tailwind mission-control UI that lets supervisors edit prompt templates and roll them out behind a feature flag in under 5 minutes; no deploy, no downtime. Cut tier-1 response time from 4.2 hours to 2.5 hours (40%) in the first quarter while CSAT stayed flat — the KPI the VP actually cares about.
