I am a Senior AI Engineer with 11+ years of experience designing, deploying, and scaling production-grade AI and LLM-powered systems. I specialize in Generative AI, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and agentic AI workflows for enterprise automation. I have hands-on experience building scalable LLM applications across AWS and GCP, with expertise in multi-agent orchestration, tool-calling, and contextual memory management. I design semantic search pipelines with FAISS and Pinecone, evaluate LLMs for safety, and deploy low-latency inference services via FastAPI, Docker, and Kubernetes. I love translating complex business requirements into production-ready AI that delivers measurable impact.
