Forward Deployed AI Engineer & Software Engineer

Bridging the gap between Artificial Intelligence and enterprise workflows.

With over 19 years of experience, I act as a customer-facing engineer to architect, deploy, and scale production-ready AI solutions. Partnering directly with stakeholders to translate bottlenecks into high-performing software using Generative AI, RAG, Python, C#, and .NET 10.

About

I am a Forward Deployed AI Engineer and Senior Software Engineer. I bridge the gap between cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence and complex enterprise workflows, partnering directly with stakeholders to translate critical business bottlenecks into high-performing, reliable software systems.

I architect and deploy production-grade Generative AI applications and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines, seamlessly integrating custom LLMs into existing environments. I build resilient, secure backend integrations and APIs using C#, .NET 10, and Python, strictly applying Clean Architecture and Domain-Driven Design (DDD) principles to ensure long-term maintainability.

From designing and optimizing data pipelines (Oracle SQL, SQL Server, BigQuery) to overseeing end-to-end deployments in cloud environments (AWS / Azure) with Docker, Kubernetes, and automated CI/CD, I act as the direct conduit between customer reality and core product engineering.
