AI engineer & systems architect · RAG + stateful orchestration
AI systems, built to hold up.
AI engineer and systems architect building governed, observable, and reliable AI products.

What I do
I work where model behavior meets the systems that govern, recover, and explain it.
AI produces candidates and handles ambiguity only inside bounded workflows.
I decide system boundaries, evidence authority, recovery behavior, and human approval points.
I verify failure paths and evidence before treating system behavior as reliable.
Stack
My focus is system architecture and AI orchestration: stateful agent workflows, retrieval, and the durable, multi-tenant services that run them.
- System architecture
- Multi-tenant isolation, versioned backend contracts, idempotent retries, webhook reconciliation, and replay snapshots
- AI orchestration
- LangGraph, Temporal, BullMQ, MCP, multi-provider LLM workflows, and worker orchestration
- AI and retrieval
- RAG, LLM evaluation and scoring, prompt engineering, prompt and citation provenance, and the OpenAI and Anthropic APIs
- Languages
- TypeScript, Python, JavaScript, Java, and SQL
- Backend and web
- NestJS, Node.js and Express, Spring Boot, Next.js, React, React Native, and REST APIs
- Cloud and data
- AWS ECS and Fargate, Lambda, S3, RDS, and Cognito, with PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Prisma, and Docker
- Security and testing
- OAuth2, JWT, RBAC, SSRF controls, secret redaction, Jest, Playwright, and CI gates
Selected work
Case studies
Selected AI systems, from my personal products to my contributions on team-owned platforms.
Team contribution
Governed AI Orchestration
I designed and implemented stateful orchestration contributions for governed AI workflows, separating resumable execution state from evidence authority.
Personal project
Companion Studio
I built a local-first desktop AI runtime that packages its own inference stack.
Team contribution
AI Platform Reliability Contributions
I contributed reliability improvements to a multi-tenant AI platform, focusing on scheduler recovery, atomic evidence writes, cancellation-aware APIs, request-budget correctness, and workflow efficiency.
More projects
Personal project
Reusable AI Workflows
Two public repositories turn report writing and code-edit mentoring into explicit, reusable AI workflows.
Team contribution
Multi-provider Compliance Platform
My contribution covered webhook ingestion, workflow gates, administrative workspaces, and audited document delivery.
AI-generated material remained evidence, while deterministic policy produced workflow decisions.
Personal project
Local Travel Planner
A local travel-planning MVP uses deterministic parsing for ordinary plans and an on-device model only when input is ambiguous.
Strict event validation runs before any plan is persisted.
Team contribution
Open-source Dash Components
I contributed a reusable component library to an open-source Dash ecosystem project during an internship.
