Hello, I am a software engineer who has experience designing, building, and deploying AI-applications and agents. My focuses for now are in AI infrastructure, backend systems, and cloud deployments. Most of my work over the last year has been at an AI security startup, where I handled everything from Kubernetes deployments and cloud setup to LLM gateways, policy engines, database management, CICD pipelines, and backend automation among other. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸: Python, TypeScript/Node.js, React/Next.js, LangChain/LangGraph, FastAPI, Anthropic & OpenAI APIs, Google ADK, Vertex AI, E2B sandboxes 6+ years production experience | San Francisco Bay Area My goal is simple: help owners and operators remove themselves from day-to-day ops fast. I reduce manual effort, automate repetitive work, and help teams scale without adding headcount. My philosophy: build repeatable parts with no-code, then use code only where it adds real leverage. That is why I maximize tools like n8n, Make, Claude Code, Openclaw, GoHighLevel, Supabase, and Lovable, plus custom code when needed. How I work: 1. Diagnose first, build second. 30-min call to map what you have and where it's stuck. If I don't think I can finish it, I'll tell you on the call. 2. Fixed scope, fixed price, fixed timeline. No hourly meters running while I read docs. You know what you're paying and when you're getting it. 3. You own everything. Code in your GitHub, infra under your accounts, no platform lock-in. If you decide to fire me on day 5, you keep the build. 4. Handoff that doesn't require me. Every project ships with a Loom walkthrough, written runbook, and a "here's how to extend this yourself" doc. Key Highlights: → Architected and deployed production-grade multi-agent systems (LangGraph/CrewAI) for clients across finance, legal, healthcare, and enterprise SaaS—including contract review agents, automated research platforms, and RAG-powered knowledge assistants processing 10,000+ documents → Led the AI infrastructure division at a Series A cybersecurity startup, scaling a multi-tenant Kubernetes platform to handle 1M+ LLM requests daily while supporting multiple enterprise clients and a team of 8 engineers → Holds an M.S. in EECS from UC Berkeley, with a thesis focused on distributed LLM inference and model scheduling on Kubernetes, bridging cutting-edge AI research with production-grade engineering → Reduced model deployment time from days to minutes by implementing ArgoCD GitOps, blue/green deployments, and automated CI/CD pipelines across AWS EKS and Azure AKS → Delivered measurable business impact: 40% reduction in support ticket response time via AI triage agents, 30% faster incident resolution with full LangSmith/Grafana observability, and 45% cloud cost optimization for legacy migrations through Kubernetes auto-scaling and spot instance strategies → End-to-end owner—gather requirements, design system architecture, write clean Python/FastAPI/Go backends, deploy on Kubernetes, and monitor in production. I ship working software, not demos What it’s like to work together: Clear milestones, fast iterations, and transparent communication. Expect Loom walkthroughs, Slack or Discord updates when needed, and systems that keep working long after handoff. I aim for long-term partnerships where both sides scale together. I’m comfortable owning full-stack infrastructure work including but not limited to deployments, debugging, automation, and AI/ML integrations. I prioritize delivering clean, maintainable systems that actually run in production. No project is too big or complex for me to deliver outstanding results. If your niche isn’t listed above, reach out anyway. I enjoy ramping up on new domains and will jump in if it makes sense for both of us
