Software & AI Systems Engineer | High-Throughput APIs, Distributed Systems, Cloud Automation & Infrastructure Security
I am a Software and AI Systems Engineer specializing in high-throughput backend runtimes, distributed transactional architectures, and deterministic AI retrieval pipelines. My engineering approach centers on systems-level resilience: eliminating latency bottlenecks, mitigating state-mutation race conditions, and enforcing strict data-layer invariants. From architecting hybrid lexical/vector search engines with zero hallucinations to engineering 3-tier enterprise data warehouses processing over 1.05M records, I build fault-tolerant backends engineered for deterministic execution under load.
My practical experience spans concurrent async API microservices, distributed enterprise applications, automated quality harnesses, and infrastructure defense. I design across the entire stack—orchestrating containerized AWS cloud workflows, implementing database-level Row-Level Security, managing zero-data-loss disaster recovery pipelines, and enforcing strict operational SLAs through automated load testing and continuous deployment.
