I'm a Principal Engineer with 20+ years building enterprise systems that stay up, now focused on production AI: AI agents, LLM applications, and RAG. I ship agentic workflows, retrieval pipelines, and LLM integrations on rock-solid Java + AWS foundations — engineered with the rigor to survive real load, real users, and real scrutiny, not just impress in a proof-of-concept.
⚡ AI Agents · LLM Apps · RAG · MCP · Java · Spring Boot · Kafka · AWS
PLATFORM ENGINEERING & ARCHITECTURE
▸ Backend & distributed systems — Java/Kotlin (Spring Boot) as the core, plus Python (FastAPI). Event-driven microservices, Kafka pipelines, REST and GraphQL APIs, PostgreSQL. Systems designed to scale, fail gracefully, and pass security review.
▸ Cloud & platform engineering — AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD. Reusable platform patterns adopted across multiple teams.
▸ Technical leadership — 20+ years leading architecture and hands-on delivery; guided teams from 10 to 55+ engineers across multiple time zones.
AI, LLM & AUTOMATION
▸ AI agents & agentic workflows — multi-step agents with LangChain and LangGraph. Tool calling, structured outputs, error recovery, and MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that expose your tools and data to LLMs cleanly. Agents that complete real tasks, not chatbots that loop.
▸ Production RAG — hybrid search (BM25 + semantic), vector databases (pgvector, Pinecone, Weaviate, OpenSearch), grounding guardrails and evaluation so your AI cites real sources, not hallucinations.
▸ LLM integration — AWS Bedrock, Anthropic Claude, OpenAI. Prompt versioning, JSON-schema enforcement, and CI/CD regression evals so prompts do not silently break when you ship.
▸ AI automation — wiring LLMs and agents into existing business systems to remove manual work, with auditable, deterministic results.
END-TO-END DELIVERY
▸ The platform and the product around it — my core is backend and platform (Java, Kafka, AWS) plus the AI running on it, and I take it all the way to a working product with React/Next.js when a project needs it. One senior engineer who owns the platform, the AI, and the deployment — no coordinating between a backend dev, an AI engineer, and a DevOps engineer.
WHAT YOU GET WORKING WITH ME
▸ Real production delivery — monitoring, evaluation, and guardrails. Not notebooks. Not demos.
▸ Engineering judgment from 20+ years of distributed systems — whether the job is a Java platform, an AWS build-out, or an AI agent, it sits on infrastructure designed to scale and pass security review.
▸ Regulated-environment fluency — PII handling, audit trails, compliance constraints, and security review are familiar territory (financial-services background), not new problems to solve on your project.
PROJECTS I DELIVER WELL
▸ Designing and building scalable backends, APIs, and event-driven platforms
▸ AWS architecture, cloud migration, and infrastructure-as-code
▸ Turning an AI prototype or proof-of-concept into a real production system
▸ Building LLM agents, RAG search, and document extraction into existing applications
▸ AI automation of manual business workflows
▸ Building for regulated industries (finance, healthcare, legal) with compliance built in
