AI/LLM and backend engineer with 7+ years of experience delivering production LLM-enabled workflows, document intelligence, classification, anomaly detection, and cloud automation. Strong in Python/FastAPI, OpenAI and Claude APIs, RAG-oriented architectures, structured outputs, validation, provider abstraction, and reliable tool/API integrations. I focus on dependable agent behavior, traceable decision-making, secure integrations, and maintainable engineering systems—using async processing, retries/idempotency, caching, observability, and evaluation/benchmark harnesses to reduce failure modes before rollout.

Work Experience

Senior Software Developer at Clearpath Financial Technologies
January 1, 2024 - May 1, 2026
Built production AI-assisted financial workflows using OpenAI and Claude APIs for transaction categorization, anomaly detection, documentation intelligence, and recommendation-style use cases. Designed provider abstractions, prompt templates, structured output schemas, validation and fallback paths, hallucination/format checks, caching, and auditable request logs. Developed Pytest/Jest evaluation and benchmarking harnesses to compare prompts, providers, model releases, and failure modes prior to production rollout. Implemented asynchronous Python/FastAPI and AWS Lambda/SQS workflows with retries, idempotency, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, CloudWatch, and production monitoring. Translated ambiguous requirements into tool/API contracts, orchestration logic, acceptance criteria, technical documentation, and reliable human-review paths.
Senior Analytics Engineer at Clearpath Financial Technologies
January 1, 2024 - May 1, 2026
Designed analytics-ready PostgreSQL models and transformation logic with reproducible request records, data-quality controls, and feature signals for financial decision workflows. Improved fraud-flag accuracy by 22% through refined normalized transaction data, validation rules, explainable signals, and downstream review workflows. Built Python-based event/data pipelines using AWS Lambda, SQS, PostgreSQL, S3, retries, idempotency, and operational monitoring. Integrated OpenAI and Claude APIs into categorization and anomaly-detection workflows, producing auditable structured outputs for downstream systems. Partnered cross-functionally to define source-of-truth logic, API contracts, data models, acceptance criteria, and reporting needs. Developed automated data and model-output checks with Pytest/Jest, raising automated coverage from 42% to 87%.
Software Developer at Nexora Solutions Inc.
September 1, 2020 - December 1, 2023
Designed ETL/ELT-style ingestion, normalization, validation, reporting endpoints, analytics-ready SQL views, audit logs, and recovery paths across e-commerce, healthcare, logistics, and operations data. Integrated 10+ external data sources by reverse-engineering schemas, handling authentication, inconsistent payloads, failure states, and data-quality edge cases. Optimized PostgreSQL and MySQL schemas, indexes, query plans, and access patterns, reducing average query execution time by 40%. Translated ambiguous business questions into reusable data models, metrics-ready views, documentation, and maintainable implementation plans.
Junior Web Developer / Software Developer at Bell Canada
May 1, 2019 - August 1, 2020
Built Java/Spring Boot and MySQL reporting workflows for operational dashboards used by 200+ technicians. Improved data visibility, structured reporting, and production issue tracking in a large enterprise environment.
