Cloud Infrastructure
Building and operating production systems on AWS with 15+ services, from Lambda to CloudFront.
AI / LLM Integration
Designing and deploying LLM-based agents and vision models in production — including prompt engineering, agent orchestration, and automated content generation pipelines.
System Design & Technical Leadership
Driving end-to-end system architecture — from API design and data modeling to event-driven patterns, mentoring engineers, and leading technical design reviews.
Work Experience
Software Development Engineer II
