Professional Summary

Full-stack software engineer specializing in reliable AI-powered search, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), enterprise knowledge management, and data integration. Designs and delivers production systems spanning secure conversational AI, multilingual hybrid-search pipelines, recommendation engines, and scalable data infrastructure. Combines software engineering, data science, and applied machine learning to help organizations retrieve trusted information, connect fragmented data, and make complex knowledge more accessible and actionable.

Proposed Endeavor

Advance reliable, secure, and scalable AI-powered knowledge retrieval and enterprise data integration systems in the United States. This work will focus on production-grade RAG applications, multilingual and hybrid search, recommendation systems, and intelligent automation that enable industrial and business platforms to connect fragmented data, improve access to trusted information, and support more efficient decision-making.

Core Expertise

AI & Knowledge Systems: Retrieval-augmented generation, conversational AI, agentic workflows, semantic retrieval, reranking, knowledge-base synchronization, and AI safety guardrails

Enterprise Search & Data Integration: Multilingual indexing, hybrid search, query routing and expansion, Elasticsearch, Solr, Weaviate, MuleSoft, and heterogeneous data-source integration

Scalable Software Systems: Full-stack architecture, distributed caching, load balancing, API development, offline data pipelines, cloud infrastructure, monitoring, and performance optimization

Applied Machine Learning: Natural language processing, recommendation systems, text classification, user behavior analysis, experimentation, and feedback-driven quality improvement

Selected Technical Contributions

Secure Enterprise RAG

Production Conversational AI

Built reliable knowledge-retrieval capabilities for an enterprise digital platform.

  • Led end-to-end development of a production RAG conversational application using Azure OpenAI, Redis, and Weaviate, with sticky-session routing and load balancing supporting 1K+ daily active users
  • Implemented multi-turn memory, function-calling workflows, input sanitization, content filtering, and PII masking to improve the usefulness, safety, and reliability of AI interactions

Multilingual Knowledge Retrieval

Search and Indexing Infrastructure

Improved access to distributed enterprise knowledge across heterogeneous sources.

  • Engineered scheduled multilingual indexing pipelines across 10+ data sources
  • Combined keyword and semantic retrieval with reranking, query routing, query expansion, iterative retrieval, caching, and feedback loops to improve relevance and responsiveness

Enterprise Data Interoperability

API Integration and Search

Connected fragmented partner and location data to searchable enterprise applications.

  • Designed 7+ MuleSoft integration workflows for incremental data synchronization
  • Integrated multi-source records into Solr- and Elasticsearch-based retrieval systems with cache optimization

Intelligent Personalization

Recommendation and ML Pipelines

Applied recommendation methods and behavioral data to improve digital experiences.

  • Developed user-to-item and item-to-item recommendation pipelines with rolling caches and CDN integration
  • Built offline machine learning pipelines supporting sales-funnel optimization and marketing targeting
