Staff Engineer · Python Backend · AI Systems

7+ years shipping high-scale distributed systems and production AI at Walmart, Mirafra, and Data Works. I architect the backend layer that makes AI products — agentic pipelines built on LangChain / LangGraph — actually work in production.

Got a bold AI idea?
Let's build it together.

I'm looking for founders building the next wave of AI-native products. You bring the vision and market insight — I bring the deep technical execution to ship a scalable production system from zero.

01
AI Product Development
LLM pipelines, RAG systems, AI agents, scoring engines — production-ready on FastAPI & AWS/GCP.
02
Scalable Backend Architecture
APIs and microservices built for 20K+ req/min. Distributed systems that grow with your product.
03
0-to-1 Execution
Move fast from idea to working MVP. I've shipped production systems solo and led high-output eng teams.
04
Remote & Global
Async-first, built for distributed teams. Open to equity, contract, advisory, or co-founder terms.

What I Build

AI Systems: Agents, RAG & Fine-Tuning

Beyond infrastructure — I architect and ship AI-native products that people actually use, from stateful agentic workflows with LangGraph to fine-tuned domain models and RAG pipelines.

Applied ML · Shipped at Data Works
Fine-Tuned LLMs for Domain-Specific Scoring
Fine-tuned a T5-based model on labeled resume/job-description pairs to power a semantic candidate-scoring engine — outperforming generic embedding similarity on hiring-specific signal and lifting match accuracy by 40%.
T5 Hugging Face PyTorch Weighted NLP FastAPI Serving
Agent Orchestration
Stateful Multi-Step Reasoning
LangGraph state machines for multi-agent workflows with tool-calling, retries, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints — wired to external tools and data sources via MCP.
LangGraph LangChain MCP
RAG Infrastructure
Semantic Knowledge Systems
RAG pipelines on top of company knowledge bases and support docs — turning static information into a queryable, reasoning layer a product can act on.
Vector DBs Pinecone / FAISS RAG
Agent Platform
Domain-Specific AI Agents
Vertical agents built for specific workflows — sales follow-up, hiring screeners, patient intake — each with domain-tuned RAG and persistent user context.

Career Journey

Work Experience

Feb 2024 — Present
Staff Software Engineer
Data Works Technologies
  • Architected production-grade backend systems with FastAPI & Flask, integrating Hugging Face Transformers into scalable microservices deployed on AWS & GCP.
  • Achieved 99.99% uptime under heavy workloads across EC2, S3, Lambda, and ECS with auto-scaling strategies.
  • Built an AI candidate scoring engine using semantic similarity and weighted NLP algorithms, improving match accuracy by 40%.
  • Integrated CrewAI, Gemini, and T5-based LLMs for document understanding, resume parsing, and intelligent data extraction workflows.
  • Designed and deployed RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines over resume, job-description, and internal knowledge-base corpora — using vector embeddings for semantic retrieval to ground LLM outputs and cut hallucinated responses in candidate/document Q&A workflows.
  • Developed ETL pipelines for millions of records using PySpark and AWS S3 Parquet, powering downstream Power BI dashboards.
Sep 2021 — Feb 2024
Senior Software Engineer
Mirafra Technologies
  • Built high-performance systems with FastAPI, Django, GraphQL for mission-critical products — TCRB, AARI, CureSoftware.
  • Architected APIs handling 2K+ requests/second with fault tolerance and horizontal scalability across microservices.
  • Designed real-time monitoring dashboards that reduced production debugging time by 45%.
  • Implemented end-to-end CI/CD pipelines via GitHub Actions and Docker, standardising deployment across dev, QA, and production.
  • Mentored junior developers in Python backend patterns, ORM optimisation, and containerised deployment best practices.
Jun 2019 — Jul 2020
Software Engineer
Walmart Labs
  • Engineered Flask-based microservices for supply chain workflows, improving backend processing efficiency by 25%.
  • Delivered 99.99% uptime handling 20K+ concurrent requests per minute across distributed clusters.
  • Reduced REST API response latency by 30% across internal and external integrations.
  • Implemented CD pipelines with Jenkins & Docker, compressing deployment time from hours to minutes.
Jun 2017 — Jun 2019
Software Engineer
IamHere Software Labs
  • Developed end-to-end backend systems with Flask and Django for data-driven web applications and internal tools.
  • Engineered an SMTP-based automated email delivery system — cut manual intervention by 70%.
  • Built custom reporting dashboards in Python + PostgreSQL enabling stakeholder data insights.
