What defines me

🧠

AI product delivery from agent design and RAG pipelines to production at scale.

🔍

LLM orchestration with LangChain and LangGraph — evals, guardrails, and observability built in.

Development Guideline

AI Engineering Guideline & Mindset

From agent design to production, I build AI products with clear architecture, rigorous evals, and full-stack delivery.

LLM & Agent Engineering

From prompt to production

LangChain and LangGraph orchestrations that reason, use tools, and stay reliable under real traffic.

  • Multi-step agents, tool use, memory
  • Evals, guardrails, and cost control

RAG & Knowledge Systems

Accurate, auditable answers

Retrieval-augmented generation with vector search, hybrid retrieval, and tight grounding on your data.

  • pgvector, Pinecone, LlamaIndex
  • Chunking, reranking, citation quality

Chatbots & Assistants

Conversational AI that ships

Production chat surfaces across WhatsApp, Telegram, and the web — with intent, context, and graceful fallbacks.

  • Streaming UIs with Next.js
  • Multi-tenant deployment & telemetry

AI-Ready Backends

APIs built for LLM traffic

NestJS and Laravel services tuned for streaming, long-running jobs, vector stores, and third-party LLM SLAs.

  • Queues, retries, idempotency
  • Observability and error tracking

Product UX for AI

Next.js frontends

Chat UIs, dashboards, and admin surfaces that make model behavior legible to users and operators.

  • Streaming, tool calls, and state
  • Design systems and component reuse

Ship to Production

Full-stack delivery

From Terraform to App Store — the backbone that turns AI features into shipped products.

  • CI/CD, zero-downtime, observability
  • Mobile (Flutter) when the product needs it
