Applied AI Engineering
Building AI-powered applications that combine LLMs with retrieval, tools, business logic, APIs, and production infrastructure.
I bring 15+ years of software engineering experience to building production-ready AI applications, scalable backend systems, and cloud-native software using Python, TypeScript, Node.js, AWS, LLMs, RAG, and AI agents.
15+ years of experience across backend engineering, system design, cloud architecture, APIs, scalability, performance, and technical leadership — now applied to modern AI systems.
Building AI-powered applications that combine LLMs with retrieval, tools, business logic, APIs, and production infrastructure.
Designing reliable APIs, backend services, distributed systems, and production applications using modern backend technologies.
Building scalable, secure, observable, and cloud-native applications with modern deployment and infrastructure practices.
Designing maintainable systems with a focus on scalability, reliability, performance, API design, distributed systems, and technical leadership.
My focus is Applied AI: combining strong software engineering, backend architecture, cloud infrastructure, and modern Generative AI technologies.
I am particularly interested in building reliable AI applications that can move from prototype to production.
I enjoy working across the entire engineering lifecycle: architecture, APIs, AI workflows, data, infrastructure, deployment, observability, and production reliability.

Bringing 15+ years of software engineering, backend architecture, and system-design experience into Applied AI and cloud-native engineering.
Selected projects will showcase practical applications of Applied AI, RAG, AI agents, backend engineering, and AWS cloud architecture.
Projects are currently being developed and will be published here as they mature. The focus is on solving realistic business problems rather than building isolated AI demos.
I'm a Tech Lead and Senior Software Engineer with 15+ years of experience designing, developing, and scaling enterprise software.
My background spans backend engineering, API design, system architecture, cloud development, distributed systems, performance optimization, and technical leadership.
My current direction is Applied AI, where I'm combining this engineering foundation with Python, FastAPI, LLM applications, RAG, semantic search, AI agents, and cloud-native AI architectures.
I believe production AI requires more than connecting an application to an LLM. It requires strong architecture, reliable APIs, good data, evaluation, observability, security, scalability, and thoughtful engineering.
That's the kind of AI-powered software I want to build.
I'm interested in conversations around Applied AI, AI engineering, backend systems, cloud architecture, technical leadership, and building production software.
