- Develop an enterprise-grade agentic framework that enables orchestration, retrieval, and collaboration between multiple AI agents
- Implement and optimize knowledge retrieval systems and agentic search capabilities using vector databases such as Qdrant and ElasticSearch
- Write well‑structured, efficient, and testable Python code for production services, experimentation, and internal developer tools
- Build and maintain shared Python libraries and SDKs used across multiple applications and microservices
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams on architecture, internal protocols, and API standards to ensure consistency and reliability across the platform
- Develop and enhance monitoring, validation, and observability for production‑grade AI solutions
- Drive the full software development lifecycle - from design and implementation to deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement
- Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, reliability issues, and scaling challenges in complex, data‑intensive environments
- Participate in code reviews and technical discussions, mentoring other engineers and contributing to a culture of excellence




- Example Projects:
- Building an evaluation and observability framework for AI model performance and reliability
- Developing an agentic orchestration platform that enables collaboration among multiple AI agents and tools
- Implementing semantic retrieval and agentic search capabilities over large enterprise knowledge bases
- Designing AI services that process and reason over high‑volume real‑world data at scale
