Most AI chatbots die at the demo stage because nobody trusts their answers. I build LLM systems that survive production: every one ships with an automated evaluation suite that proves accuracy before your team bets real decisions on it. Recent work: - Text-to-SQL assistant for a blockchain compliance firm. Complex fraud investigation queries went from 48+ hours to under 5 minutes, and a 25-person analyst team now self-serves data that used to require a data scientist. - AI agent for a US ERP consultancy, built with LangGraph and integrated into Microsoft Teams, ServiceNow, SharePoint and their SQL database. Answers to business-critical questions went from days to minutes — with permission-aware data access and a golden test set that verifies the agent says "I don't know" instead of hallucinating. - RAG platform for French building regulations: 5,000+ planning documents across 20 cities, over 95% answer accuracy, taken from concept to public launch. - Call center QA automation for a 100-person European call center. LLM call scoring in an uncommon dialect, validated against human trainers before rollout — half the QA team moved to higher-value work. What I build: RAG pipelines and document Q&A, AI agents over enterprise data (SQL, vector search, internal knowledge bases), Text-to-SQL analytics assistants, and speech-to-text plus LLM scoring pipelines. Day-to-day stack: Python, LangChain, LangGraph, Snowflake, pgvector, Pinecone, DeepEval. How I work: I'm the lead engineer and agency owner. You talk to me directly, and I review every line of code before it reaches your repository. Every project starts with a golden dataset of real questions from your domain, so quality is measured from week one — not promised at the end. For the past two years my team has been exclusively engaged in building enterprise AI systems off-platform. Having shipped those, we're opening limited capacity for new partners on Upwork. If you're weighing an AI project and want a sanity check before committing to a build, book a consultation — I'll tell you what's realistic, what it will cost to run, and where the risks hide.

I am a senior technology leader who still writes code. Over 23 years I have moved from enterprise development and architecture through program delivery to building GenAI SaaS products. On Upwork I take on freelance work where clients need someone experienced enough to design the solution and hands-on enough to build it. Today I lead engineering for Strategy.ai, an enterprise AI platform. That work spans Python backends, APIs, cloud deployment on AWS, LLM integrations, RAG pipelines, vector search, and product features used by real business teams. Before that I spent nearly two decades at Cognizant on large healthcare and life sciences programs for clients like UnitedHealth Group, Abbott, Sanofi, and EmblemHealth, often as architect or delivery lead across India and the United States. What I work on Python: backends, automation, data processing, APIs, integrations, testing Full stack: Django and Django REST, Vue.js, React, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, REST and WebSocket APIs GenAI: RAG, document assistants, chatbots, agent workflows, OpenAI/Anthropic/Bedrock integrations, guardrails for production use Cloud and DevOps: AWS (certified Solutions Architect), CI/CD, scalable SaaS patterns, practical security Architecture and delivery: scoped MVPs, milestone plans, clean handover, honest estimates I am comfortable owning a module end to end, joining an existing team for a hard technical piece, or helping a founder shape v1 before they overbuild. How I work I communicate clearly, document assumptions, and prefer milestones over open-ended hourly drift. I have led large teams, but on Upwork you get me doing the work, not a bait-and-switch to junior staff. I scope realistically: a solid v1 that ships beats a grand architecture deck that never lands. Good fit for SaaS features, internal tools, and integration projects GenAI pilots that need to reach production, not just a demo Python or fullstack builds where reliability and maintainability matter Regulated or data-sensitive environments (healthcare, life sciences, professional services) Clients who want a senior engineer, not the cheapest hourly rate If your project has a clear problem and you want someone who has done this at enterprise scale but can still move fast on a focused build, we should talk.
