Agents that orchestrate at scale. Outputs that stay verifiable. Infrastructure that degrades gracefully.

Forward deployed engineer building production multi-agent AI systems and backend microservices — LLM-augmented platforms grounded in deterministic tooling, event-driven architectures, and cloud-native deployment across AWS, Azure, and Kubernetes. A proven record of replacing manual workflows with reliable, observable AI in security, healthcare, and enterprise domains.

Deployments, chronologically.

Forward Deployed Engineer
Oct 2025 — Present
PwCTampa, FL · Hybrid
Multi-agent threat-intelligence platform — Built a production system that autonomously maps an organization's external attack surface, replacing manual reconnaissance with an LLM-augmented agent swarm.
Architected a microservices system with a FastAPI supervisor orchestrating containerized worker agents over RabbitMQ, using PostgreSQL 16 + pgvector for state and Redis for caching, pub/sub, and rate limiting.
Engineered a deterministic-tools-first orchestration engine that constrains LLM output to strict JSON schemas with a JSON-repair layer and Langfuse tracing/evals — eliminating hallucinated intelligence in a security-critical domain; added a resilient dispatch layer so a broker outage degrades gracefully instead of hard-failing.
Deployed to Kubernetes via Argo CD GitOps and Helm with a GitHub Actions pipeline building 7 service images in parallel across dev/qa/stage/prod; secured with Azure Entra ID, Key Vault, and server-side RBAC.
AI-assisted risk-assessment microservice (FastAPI + MongoDB) grounding control generation in the NIST 800-53 Rev 5 catalog via a deterministic-retrieval → LLM-judgment → human-in-the-loop pipeline.
Built a multimodal evidence-review pipeline (vision models, openpyxl, pypdf) that rates control effectiveness, backed by an offline evaluation harness; exposed the full REST surface as MCP tools for tool-calling agents.
Streamed live pipeline progress to a Vue 3 / SSE frontend for real-time analyst visibility.
Lead Backend Developer

PfizerPleasanton, CA · Remote
Health Literacy Tool — Automated linguistic validation of scientific content with 50+ NLP rule checks (SpaCy, NLTK, custom Python) for grammar, terminology, tone, and regulatory compliance, replacing manual proofreading.
Architected a serverless microservices system on AWS Lambda orchestrated by Step Functions, ingesting via REST APIs and storing outputs in S3 with DynamoDB for metadata and versioning.
Deck Generation Tool — Converted white papers into PowerPoint decks using GPT-4o for summarization/sectioning and python-pptx for dynamic slide generation.
Integrated image and table extraction (PyMuPDF, Tesseract, OpenCV) to improve visual-content accuracy in generated decks.
Delivered a fully event-driven toolchain with API Gateway, S3, DynamoDB, and CloudWatch monitoring and alerting.
Software Engineer
May 2023 — Mar 2024
PinhousToronto, Canada · Remote
Built an ML-powered home-marketplace platform using Django and AWS for backend processing.
Engineered a microservices architecture handling data ingestion and processing for 900,000 home listings.
Implemented image feature extraction with ML models to enhance the user experience.
Optimized storage using a hybrid SQL (RDS) and NoSQL approach for efficient data management.
Control Engineer
May 2019 — Jul 2021
ActiveIQBengaluru, India · On-site
Developed Python scripts for vehicle acceleration and braking systems, improving control performance for autonomous operation.
Automated testing of control modules in Python, increasing reliability and integration of key functionality.
Conducted system diagnostics and produced detailed reports to optimize performance and resolve issues.
Improved control system responsiveness, reducing latency and enhancing overall vehicle operation across various driving conditions.
