Enterprise AR/VR collaboration platform for immersive remote meetings & training
- Led design and delivery of 5 production backend systems (AI agents, semantic search, real-time collaboration, SSO, serverless infra) maintaining 99.9% uptime.
- Architected a provider-agnostic LLM orchestration layer (AWS Bedrock, OpenAI, Gemini) with tool/function-calling for deterministic dialog control, serving multi-turn AI meeting bots.
- Built a multi-tenant AI document search platform ingesting PDF, DOCX, Excel, images into Weaviate with hybrid semantic + keyword retrieval.
- Engineered multi-environment serverless infrastructure using AWS CDK (TypeScript) with Lambda dependency graphs, IAM wiring, X-Ray, and CloudFormation exports.
- Implemented flexible SSO (Google, Microsoft, OAuth2, PKCE/Cognito) with JWT-based role-aware access control for enterprise multi-tenancy.
- Led AWS → GCP infrastructure migration automated via Terraform & GitHub Actions; introduced SonarQube quality gates, improving test coverage by 15% and reducing release cycle time by 60%.
Franchise intelligence platform turning KPI data into AI-powered insights
- Architected AI/LLM orchestration on AWS Bedrock (Claude 3 Haiku) to auto-generate KPI narrative summaries with async job handling via SQS.
- Delivered 7 Dockerized Lambda microservices (KPI Writer, Catalog, Watchlist, Alerts, LLM Orchestration, Scheduler) fronted by API Gateway with unified event-routing.
- Built automated Watchlist Scheduler (EventBridge cron) pulling data from Aurora PostgreSQL, generating AI snapshots, and dispatching HTML email reports with PDF attachments via SES — with SNS alerting and DLQ error handling.
- Provisioned all infrastructure with modular Terraform across dev/prod, cutting environment setup from days to minutes.
NFT Marketplace & Blockchain Analytics
- Built event-driven auction scheduler (SNS + SQS + Lambda) handling 50,000+ concurrent bids with guaranteed delivery.
- Reduced listing API P95 latency from 900 ms → 180 ms (80% improvement) via query optimisation and page-level caching.
- Architected Blockchain Eye ETL pipeline ingesting multi-chain data into Athena/Parquet data lake, enabling scalable analytics.
- Built a WebSocket gateway for real-time notifications (TypeScript + API Gateway), removing client polling and reducing server load significantly.
Go · AWS Lambda · Bedrock · OpenAI · Gemini · Redis · S3 · Polly
- Serverless Go service supporting multi-turn interview/meeting bots with strict, balanced, and freeflow conversation modes.
- Provider-agnostic LLM adapter/factory with tool/function-calling (
request_clarifier,redirect_to_topic,endConversation) for deterministic, safe dialog control. - Redis-backed session state with TTLs, pipelines, and idempotent resets — managing message history, question progress, and AI config across concurrent sessions.
- LLM-based structured note extraction and edit-note command parser; multilingual transcript support via LLM translation with JSON schema preservation.
- Integrated AWS Polly TTS (Neural → Standard fallback) for real‑time client delivery.
Python · AWS Bedrock (Titan) · Weaviate · MongoDB · Lambda · SQS · Terraform
- End-to-end AI search pipeline: ingestion of PDF, DOCX, Excel, images → MongoDB → Bedrock embeddings → Weaviate with per‑tenant isolation.
- Hybrid semantic + keyword search API combining vector similarity with tenant-scoped filters, ensuring strict data isolation while preserving retrieval quality.
- Idempotent ingestion pipeline handling INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE across multiple collections with configurable chunking, retry logic, and DLQ error handling.
AWS CDK TypeScript · Lambda · Bedrock Agents · Lex · Node.js 20.x
- Designed reusable
BodeInfraStackprovisioning Lambdas, IAM, logging, and tagging across dev/staging/prod with environment-specific configs (timeouts, memory, concurrency, log retention). - Implemented Lambda factory pattern (
LambdaFactory+CustomLambdaFunction) standardising Node.js 20.x provisioning — runtime, bundling, X‑Ray toggles, tagging, env injection. - Modelled Lambdas as dependency graphs with automatic fine‑grained IAM invoke permissions and ARN injection, enabling agent-style orchestration without hard‑coded wiring.
Go · Fiber · PostgreSQL (pgx) · MongoDB · pgvector · OpenAI · Gemini · JIRA · S3
- Production Go (Fiber) REST API managing vibe/scenario lifecycle, meetings, pipelines, rooms, analytics, and real‑time SSE + WebSocket endpoints with JWT auth.
- Dual‑database architecture (PostgreSQL + MongoDB, selectable via DB_TYPE), repository pattern, rate limiting, and standard middleware stack.
- Integrated LLM providers for chat API with meeting context and vector Q&A over meetings using pgvector; built JIRA integration with tool‑style function calling for AI‑driven task management.
Terraform · GitHub Actions · ECS Fargate · App Runner · RDS Postgres · Secrets Manager · Route53 · VPC · Cloudflare
- Owned AWS infrastructure across production, beta, and nonprod — App Runner, ECS Fargate, ECR, RDS Postgres with automated snapshot DR.
- Authored GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines with pre‑deploy gates, post‑deploy health checks, E2E smoke tests, and blue/green cutover patterns.
- Led Terraform‑only IaC migration (sunsetting CDK) with modular workspaces, one‑command environment setup, and full secrets lifecycle via Secrets Manager.
- Managed Cloudflare + Route53 DNS cutovers under live traffic; debugged VPC, security group, and secret ARN issues with postmortems within 48 hours.
- Implemented monitoring/alerting with CloudWatch alarms, Grafana dashboards, and structured logging — every customer‑facing flow alarmed and paged.
Go · Python · Aurora PostgreSQL · MongoDB · Bedrock · EventBridge · SES · Terraform
- Designed microservice architecture in Go (Fiber) and Python with repository pattern across PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Aurora PostgreSQL.
