Hi there, I'm Hou πŸ‘‹

I build AI systems that ship to production and scale reliably β€” RAG pipelines, multi-agent workflows, and LLM applications backed by 10+ years of engineering discipline.

With experience shipping at scale for companies like Allergan Aesthetics (Abbvie), Walmart, GameStop, and Zocdoc, I bring production engineering to AI: proper evaluation, monitoring, cost optimization, and systems that don't break.

πŸ“ Sharing insights at prompt-deploy.beehiiv.com

What I Build

  • RAG Systems: Production pipelines with hybrid search and evaluation frameworks
  • Multi-Agent Workflows: LangGraph-based orchestration for complex automation
  • Full-Stack LLM Applications: Next.js + FastAPI architectures that scale
  • AI-Native Developer Tools: Workflows and systems for production AI
  • Team Enablement: AI adoption workshops and training programs

Tech Stack

AI/ML Engineering

LangChain LangGraph OpenAI Anthropic Qdrant

Languages & Frameworks

TypeScript React Next.js Node.js Python

Infrastructure

PostgreSQL Redis Docker AWS Kubernetes

Background

Before specializing in AI engineering, I spent 10+ years as a full-stack engineer at companies like Allergan Aesthetics (AbbVie), Zocdoc (healthcare tech), GameStop (blockchain/NFT), and conducting technical training for Walmart, American Express, Intuit, and Northern Trust. I founded Kappa Innovation LLC in 2017 and have trained 500+ engineers through bootcamps and enterprise workshops.

What I'm Looking For

AI engineering roles or consulting engagements where production experience matters.
