I build AI systems that actually ship.

Senior Python Developer & Data Engineer with 5+ years of experience building scalable, cloud-native data platforms. Expert in Python, FastAPI, and Large Language Models (LLMs). Proven track record designing microservices, leading small teams, optimizing ETL pipelines by up to 60%, and delivering actionable insights through data-driven and agentic AI solutions.

My work spans the full AI engineering stack — from architecting LangGraph agentic workflows that replace brittle rule-based pipelines, to optimizing PySpark jobs that process terabytes overnight. I care deeply about making AI systems robust, explainable, and cost-efficient in production.

  • Developed LLM-powered agentic workflows within Maphub using LangGraph, LangChain, and LLMs to dynamically generate data models, configure UI elements, and enable conversational data interactions.
  • Designed and implemented microservices with REST APIs using FastAPI to extract, validate, transform, and load data into MongoDB and Oracle databases, supporting inputs from XLSX file and database sources.
  • Built Text2SQL benchmark framework to evaluate and optimize LLM performance on complex enterprise schemas using EX (Execution Accuracy) and QAS (Query Affinity Score) metrics.
  • Optimized schema dump token consumption via intelligent pruning, compression, and selective retrieval — reducing context length and inference costs by 50% while maintaining query accuracy.
  • Integrated real-time ML training and inference using AWS AutoGluon, enabling a fully UI-driven workflow for training, versioning, and deploying live prediction models in Maphub Data Studio.
  • Migrated data validation scripts to Python with vectorized operations, reducing execution time by 60%, deployed as a scalable microservice.
