that scale.

A software engineer building the backends, RAG pipelines, and cloud-native services behind AI-powered products — with a quiet obsession for latency graphs, clean abstractions, and the invisible architecture that keeps production alive.

Computer Science graduate from Rutgers University (GPA 3.63), writing software that sits closest to the metal of modern products — distributed APIs, retrieval-augmented pipelines, and the quiet plumbing between services.

The work has shipped across live production: multi-tenant RBAC serving 50+ enterprise clients, LLM pipelines processing thousands of documents a month, GraphQL gateways that cut dashboard fetch times by more than half. Architecture that earns its keep.

Braven Accelerator Fellowship

  • Developed a multi-tenant RBAC framework with JWT-based authentication and policy-driven authorization, ensuring secure isolation across 50+ enterprise clients.
  • Architected a FastAPI document service integrated with AWS S3 and SQS, reducing API response latency from 1.2s to 0.8s under peak load.
  • Designed a type-safe GraphQL gateway alongside REST endpoints, eliminating redundant API calls and improving dashboard retrieval by 55% across 25+ complex query paths.
  • Automated infrastructure with Terraform, deployed containerized services to AWS ECS within a secure VPC; CloudWatch monitoring surfaced 6 pre-production regressions.
  • Established backend testing with pytest and structured OpenAPI documentation, improving release stability across 12 feature deployments.

Automotive Tech Startup (Acquired)

  • Engineered an asynchronous microservices-based LLM pipeline with Python, FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, and PostgreSQL — processing 8,000+ documents/month and eliminating 120+ manual review hours.
  • Implemented a RAG system using LangChain, FAISS, and Pydantic schema validation for semantic search across 35,000+ document chunks, cutting research turnaround from 1 business day to under 2 hours.
  • Optimized inference throughput with async orchestration, Redis caching, and an Nginx reverse proxy — cutting external API costs by $2K/month while supporting 200+ concurrent users.
  • Applied OAuth 2.0, JWT, and AWS IAM to enforce fine-grained access control across multiple VPCs, with encrypted multi-service communication.
  • Standardized infrastructure with Docker, Terraform, and GitHub Actions, enabling 18 production releases without rollback.

Remote Patient
Evaluation App

Feb — Apr 2025

Full-stack application built with React, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL — implementing OAuth 2.0, RBAC, and Pydantic validation across 25+ APIs.

Deployed as containerized services on AWS ECS via Terraform, with 12 production-ready releases serving 200+ beta users.

Jul — Sep 2025

Built a RAG pipeline with LangChain, OpenAI embeddings, and FAISS — processing 1,000+ pages per hour.

Designed async processing via FastAPI + Amazon SQS, deployed with Docker and AWS IAM — reducing document turnaround from 24h to 3h. Streamlit interface layered on top for semantic clause comparison with confidence scoring.
