I am a Generative AI Engineer focused on production-grade LLMs, RAG, and agentic AI systems. I design and deploy scalable AI architectures using Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, LangChain, Elasticsearch, and vector databases to deliver enterprise knowledge retrieval, recruitment automation, and AI-powered customer support. I thrive on building robust data pipelines, guardrails, and evaluation frameworks to minimize hallucinations and maximize relevance. In my work, I’ve shipped multi-modal extraction systems, hybrid retrieval pipelines, and memory-enabled conversational agents that handle tens of thousands of interactions monthly. I enjoy collaborating cross-functionally, guiding junior engineers, and optimizing costs and performance through thoughtful architecture and automation.
