Integrate AI models, retrieval workflows, and multi-agent systems into production applications. Work with Python, OpenAI, LangChain, LlamaIndex, vector databases, and agent toolchains. Engineer With Excellence Write high-performance, production-grade code (C#/.NET as primary). Use Python for AI workflows, automation, and data integrations. Build systems optimized for reliability, performance, and observability. Full-Stack Ownership Collaborate with frontend engineers to deliver seamless end-to-end experiences. Design clean APIs, interfaces, and developer workflows. DevOps + Cloud Execution Manage CI/CD pipelines, IaC, and Kubernetes deployments on Azure. Ensure systems are scalable, fault-tolerant, secure, and well-instrumented. Technical Leadership & Mentorship Mentor engineers and uplift technical standards across the stack.
