Skills

What I work with.

/ai

Agentic AI & LLM systems.

Production agent platforms using LangGraph, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, RAG, hybrid retrieval, re-ranking, model routing, MCP, memory, observability, and human-in-the-loop workflows. Multiple agents are live and serving customers.

/architecture

Solutions architecture.

Designing reliable systems from requirements through architecture, service boundaries, data models, security, infrastructure, deployment, and operational ownership. Experienced across distributed systems, serverless platforms, event-driven workflows, and cloud-native applications.

/fullstack

Full-stack & DevOps.

React, TypeScript, Next.js, Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, AWS, CI/CD, CloudFormation, CDK, CloudWatch, ECS, Lambda, and containerized services. Comfortable moving between application code, platform engineering, infrastructure, and production operations.

/data

Data engineering & visualization.

Data platforms, analytical warehouses, ETL and ELT pipelines, data modeling, operational reporting, real-time dashboards, D3 visualizations, and data products built across heterogeneous sources.

Senior Data Engineer

Amazon· Seattle, WA
  • Agentic AI Execution Platform — led the design and delivery of a production platform built on LangGraph and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore (Runtime, Gateway, Memory, OpenTelemetry). Supports interactive, autonomous, and supervised human-in-the-loop agents, with multiple agents live and serving customers. Showcased at internal Tech Summit and DevCon.
  • B2B Sales Planning Platform — designed the application architecture, DevOps, platform engineering, and full-stack implementation for an internal sales-planning system. Delivered with a cross-functional team from requirements and architecture through production operations.
  • Self-Service Data Operations Platform — designed and built a full-stack, event-driven platform that reduced data-operations turnaround by 99%, from 2–3 days to under 15 minutes. React and Cloudscape frontend; Python serverless backend; Step Functions orchestration; DynamoDB configuration store.
  • Cohort Provisioning Platform — designed and built a serverless API gateway, Python SDK/CLI, and AWS infrastructure stack that reduced provisioning effort from approximately 8 hours to seconds and enabled growth from 40 to more than 500 cohorts. Implemented OAuth2, multi-region routing, circuit breakers, canary deployments, and three global stacks.

Agentic AI Execution PlatformShowcased

A production platform for building and operating AI agents with LangGraph and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore (Runtime, Gateway, Memory, and OpenTelemetry). It supports interactive, autonomous, and supervised human-in-the-loop agents, with multiple agents live and serving customers. Showcased at internal Tech Summit and DevCon.

  • Multiple agents are already live and serving customers in production.
  • Built three agent modalities — Interactive, Autonomous, and Supervised (human-in-the-loop) agents — on a single unified execution platform.
  • Production RAG with semantic chunking, hybrid retrieval, re-ranking and source attribution over S3-backed vector stores.
  • Multiple Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for extensible, pluggable tool access across agents.
  • Full CI/CD pipelines and CloudFormation infrastructure-as-code throughout the delivery lifecycle.
