Building AI-powered systems and scalable web products.

AI Engineer specializing in RAG pipelines, LLM workflows, and full-stack SaaS development. Currently building real-world systems used in academic and product environments.

02 — What I do

Three disciplines, one engineering mindset.

I work where AI, product engineering, and marketing systems overlap — building tools that move real metrics, not slide decks.

01

AI Systems Engineering

I design retrieval and reasoning systems that survive production — not demos.

  • RAG pipelines for academic & enterprise knowledge
  • LLM orchestration with LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI
  • Context-aware agents with grounded citations
02

Full Stack Development

End-to-end SaaS — from data model to deployed product.

  • React / Next.js frontends with strong UX
  • Django backend systems & REST APIs
  • API-first, type-safe architectures
03

Marketing Automation

Salesforce Marketing Cloud — beyond the standard activity catalogue.

  • Custom Journey Builder activities
  • AMPscript & SSJS campaign systems
  • Data extension architecture & integrations
03 — Selected work

A few systems I've built, told as stories — not screenshots.

AI System · RAG2025

A retrieval system that respects what an institution actually knows.

LangChainLangGraphpgvectorOpenAIFastAPI
Problem

Academic teams needed answers grounded in their own documents — syllabi, policies, archived research — without the hallucinations that off-the-shelf chatbots ship with.

Approach

Hybrid retriever (BM25 + dense embeddings) → cross-encoder rerank → grounded generation with citation enforcement. Deterministic fallback when confidence drops below threshold.

ProjTrack Desk — turning student project chaos into a single source of truth.

ReactDjangoPostgreSQLOpenAI
Problem

College project tracking was scattered across spreadsheets, email threads, and WhatsApp groups. Faculty couldn't see status; students couldn't see expectations.

Approach

Centralized workspace with AI-assisted progress summaries, milestone detection, and structured handoffs between students, mentors, and reviewers.

BrainBench — structured aptitude learning that actually adapts.

ReactDjangoRESTPostgreSQL
Problem

Aptitude prep tools optimize for question count, not mastery. Students grind without ever seeing where they're plateauing.

Approach

Topic graph + per-skill scoring, adaptive test sets, and a clean React + Django stack designed to scale beyond a single college.

04 — How I think

Three principles I refuse to compromise on.

I

Build systems, not features.

Features are deliverables. Systems compound. Every component I ship should be reusable across two more contexts before it's done.

II

Clarity beats cleverness.

Code that another engineer can pick up at 2 a.m. always wins over a clever one-liner that requires me to explain it.

III

Practical over hyped.

I use AI where it materially changes the outcome — not because the README mentions agents.

05 — Services

Engagements built around outcomes — not hours.

I work with founders and teams who need an engineer who can hold the full picture — from system design to the last line of production code.
