Available to hire
I’m Steven Rohr, a lead software engineer specializing in production-grade Generative AI systems—autonomous agents, RAG, and LLM tool/function calling—built in Python and deployed on cloud-native stacks with Docker/Kubernetes and CI/CD. I have a track record of designing enterprise integrations, evaluation guardrails, and observability to ship reliable AI capabilities (summarization, knowledge assistants, workflow automation) with measurable reductions in manual effort and faster decision cycles.
I’m known for driving cross-functional delivery, mentoring engineers, and translating ambiguous AI opportunities into secure, maintainable platforms.
