About

I build production AI systems that help organizations hire better. At Eightfold AI, I've worked across AI-powered hiring products—from modern career sites used by Fortune 500 companies to real-time AI interview platforms. My work focuses on AI agents, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), voice AI, real-time backend systems, and the engineering required to make LLM-powered products reliable in production. Most recently, I led the 0→1 engineering of AI Interview Companion, taking it from concept to production in six weeks and scaling it to 2,000+ live interviews per month within three months. It reduced post-interview effort by 75% and became a primary enterprise sales motion for the product. I also contributed core agent infrastructure to AI Interviewer, including LangGraph-based orchestration, production RAG, voice streaming pipelines, and coding evaluation systems as part of a broader engineering team. Before that, I helped build Eightfold's next-generation AI-powered career site platform, leading migrations for 65+ enterprise career sites and building large-scale integrations across 1,000+ global job boards. I enjoy solving engineering problems where distributed systems, backend infrastructure, and applied AI come together to build products that people rely on every day.
