Architect AI systems that automate knowledge work, content generation, recruitment workflows, and recommendation engines through production-ready LLM applications.

  • Architected a production multi-agent platform that combines web search, web scraping, and LLM reasoning to automate content generation using continuously updated external information.
  • Engineered Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems powering internal knowledge assistants capable of answering questions over enterprise documentation with source-grounded responses.
  • Designed conversational memory architectures separating short-term dialogue context from persistent long-term memory, improving coherence across extended user interactions.
  • Implemented hybrid retrieval strategies combining Pinecone vector search, metadata-aware filtering, and Neo4j knowledge graphs to improve contextual reasoning and retrieval accuracy.
  • Developed ETL pipelines synchronizing PostgreSQL and Neo4j, ensuring enterprise knowledge graphs remained continuously aligned with operational business data.
  • Optimized image generation models using Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) and LoRA techniques to improve domain adaptation while minimizing compute requirements.
  • Built recommendation systems that cluster users based on behavioral patterns and continuously refine content recommendations using real-time feedback loops.
  • Delivered cloud-native AI services deployed across AWS while collaborating closely with engineering and product teams to evolve production AI capabilities.
