About Me

With over 14 years of experience in software engineering, I am driven by a genuine passion for programming and an unwavering commitment to solving complex technical challenges. I find deep satisfaction in transforming intricate problems into elegant, scalable solutions.

Throughout my career, I have specialized in architecting and building high-velocity, production-grade applications that are highly available, secure, fault-tolerant, and auto-scalable. My approach combines rigorous engineering principles with innovative problem-solving, ensuring that every system I design not only meets current requirements but is also built to evolve and scale.

I am passionate about leveraging cutting-edge technologies to build intelligent systems. From developing AI-powered chat applications with RAG systems and MCP servers to optimizing performance-critical financial systems processing millions of transactions, I thrive on tackling diverse technical challenges across different domains.

Beyond technical execution, I am a collaborative team player who values knowledge sharing and continuous learning. I stay current with emerging technologies, actively experimenting with new tools and frameworks to understand their potential and applicability. This curiosity-driven approach enables me to bring fresh perspectives and innovative solutions to every project I undertake.

Experience

Designed and built cutting-edge AI-powered chat applications leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) with advanced RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) systems. Developed a comprehensive MCP (Model Context Protocol) server infrastructure to enable seamless integration between LLMs and external data sources, tools, and services.

Key Achievements:

  • Architected and implemented a production-ready RAG system that enhances LLM responses with real-time context retrieval from vector databases and knowledge bases.
  • Built custom MCP servers to extend LLM capabilities, enabling dynamic tool calling, function execution, and multi-source data aggregation.
  • Developed intelligent chat interfaces with streaming responses, context management, and multi-turn conversation handling.
  • Optimized embedding generation and semantic search pipelines for sub-100ms retrieval latency at scale.
  • Implemented robust error handling, rate limiting, and monitoring systems for production AI workloads.
