Who I Am

About Me

Bridging software engineering, cloud data infrastructure, and intelligent AI systems.

I'm a Software Engineer with 1 year and 7 months of experience architecting AI-driven Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines using LangGraph to orchestrate generative AI workflows with Azure Cognitive Search and OpenAI.

I am adept at metadata enrichment, enterprise PII anonymization, and real-time SEO anomaly detection using PySpark, BigQuery, and GenAI. Guided by cloud best practices, I build robust, automated systems to deliver business intelligence and high-performance workflows.
