AI Engineer | Full-Stack Developer
Austin, TX
Full-stack software engineer with 10+ years building cloud-based applications on AWS. AI-first approach to development — building agentic AI systems, evaluation pipelines, and production LLM deployments to ship products serving 2M+ users.
UofHappy, Jan 2019 - Present
Sole technical founder — owned product vision, architecture, and all engineering across 6 products serving 2M+ users using TypeScript, Python, and Laravel on AWS (EC2, Lambda, S3, RDS, CloudFront). Designed microservices architecture with DynamoDB, SQS, and Step Functions. Integrated generative AI across the product suite — RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, LLM-powered content generation, data pipelines, and adaptive learning systems. Built evaluation pipelines using DeepEval and Pytest to validate output quality and detect hallucinations, with LLM guardrails for input sanitization and prompt injection protection.
AI-generated interactive coding exercises with adaptive difficulty. Built with Python, FastAPI, and AWS Lambda.
Flagship product scaled to 2M+ users. Social feed with user interactions, dynamic affirmations, and quizzes that drive personalized guidance powered by LLMs.
RAG pipeline with sliding-window chunking, structural metadata filtering, and LLM-as-judge evaluation. LangChain orchestration with LangSmith tracing for end-to-end observability.
Agentic content generation pipeline (research → author → audit) with knowledge graphs and personalized learning paths that adapt to user progress.
Multi-layer RAG with dual embedding architecture (semantic + thematic) for long-term pattern retrieval across unstructured journal entries.
On-demand personalized guided meditations via async chunked LLM generation with SSML enrichment for zero-latency audio delivery.
