About Me
Get to know me better
I'm a full-stack product engineer with 4+ years of experience building AI-powered enterprise SaaS applications. I specialize in combining modern web technologies (React, TypeScript, Node.js, GraphQL) with cutting-edge AI capabilities (LLMs, RAG, agentic systems) to deliver solutions that solve real customer problems.
Currently at Exelixis, I architected and shipped a generative AI platform using serverless agentic RAG pipelines that reduced medical insight delivery time by 50%. I design full-stack solutions—from React frontends and GraphQL APIs to LLM orchestration and vector search (OpenSearch)—with enterprise-grade security (SSO, RBAC).
I'm AWS Certified Generative AI Developer - Professional (Early Adopter, top 5,000 globally) with a Master's in Computer Science (Deep Learning specialization) from Penn State. My experience spans enterprise environments (Exelixis, KPMG International) and research settings (Penn State), giving me a unique perspective on shipping production-grade AI solutions.
What I bring:
✦ GenAI Engineering: RAG pipelines, multi-agent systems, LLM integrations (AWS Bedrock, OpenSearch)
✦ Product Engineering: Shipping customer-driven features, collaborating with stakeholders, iterating based on feedback
✦ Full-Stack Development: React, TypeScript, Node.js, GraphQL, Postgres, deployed on AWS and Azure
✦ Enterprise Experience: Built B2B platforms serving 250+ users across healthcare and research institutions
When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring San Francisco's cafe scene, experimenting in the kitchen, or capturing moments through my camera.
Let's build something great together.
