Led Disney's Document Intelligence platform to automate contract analysis and document processing for enterprise legal workflows. Implemented OpenAI GPT-4o integration with prompt engineering and structured output parsing, introduced runtime prompt versioning with SHA-256 hashing and S3 caching, and established AI reliability patterns (circuit breakers, exponential backoff, token tracking, detailed logging). Integrated Azure Document Intelligence for PDF extraction, developed Snowflake Cortex Search for semantic querying, built a confidence-scoring framework for LLM outputs, and implemented a Go-based document processing workflow with lineage tracking. Created a FastAPI REST API layer for job orchestration and built a React/TypeScript UI with secure authentication and real-time status dashboards. Implemented comprehensive tests (pytest, Playwright) for AI components and APIs.
