• Design and build data and AI platforms using Databricks, AWS, and modern cloud-native patterns.
• Own AI and agentic systems end-to-end, including retrieval, planning, evaluation, guardrails, and deployment.
• Build RAG pipelines, vector search, knowledge graphs, and multi-agent orchestration for natural-language data interfaces.
• Optimize system efficiency through model selection, latency/throughput work, and token economics at scale.
• Translate ambiguous requirements from stakeholders into secure, scalable, and production-ready systems.
• Provide technical leadership through design reviews, implementation guidance, and production-readiness checks.
• Mentor engineers and develop technical playbooks to help the team adopt AI-native practices.
• Research and implement state-of-the-art data and AI techniques to accelerate pipeline development and analytics.
