I build AI agents that do the work — LLMs that plan, retrieve, call tools, and complete multi-step tasks reliably enough for real users. Not demos. Production systems. 15+ years shipping backends in fintech, e-commerce, fleet, and ride-sharing. The last two years focused on the agentic layer. That combination is the point: most AI prototypes break on contact with real traffic, real data, and real auth. Mine don't, because I've shipped the boring half of software for a decade. What I do best Turn manual workflows into reliable agents. Fix RAG that retrieves the wrong thing. Wire LLMs into existing systems — your database, queue, auth, observability — without creating a parallel stack nobody owns. Selected work Multi-agent workflow automation for a fintech platform — replaced a 6-step manual review process, cut turnaround from 2 days to 15 minutes RAG system over 200K+ internal documents with hybrid search and evals — answer accuracy moved from 61% to 92% Custom MCP servers connecting Claude to internal tooling for an e-commerce ops team Spring Boot microservices powering a ride-sharing platform at production scale Stack LangGraph, LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI · Claude, GPT-4/5, Llama 3 RAG, MCP servers, tool use, structured outputs, evals Vector DBs: Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector, Milvus Java / Spring Boot · Python / FastAPI · Kafka · AWS · Docker · Kubernetes Background 35+ projects delivered, 5-star feedback. B.E. in Computer Engineering. Work daily in Claude Code and Cursor — agentic tooling is how I build, not just what I build. How I work I'll push back if your agent will hallucinate, your retrieval will miss, or your tool schemas will confuse the model — before writing code, not after. I think about latency, cost, retries, and what happens when the model provider goes down. The happy path is the easy half.
