* Generative AI & RAG: Reduced data-query time by approximately 30% by building an offline RAG-based Text-to-SQL system in Python, enabling natural-language queries against large structured databases using Ollama, Phi, and Vanna AI. * Agentic AI & LLM Integration: Developed an AI aggregator platform for an overseas client, integrating LLMs, Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools, local file systems, and image generation APIs using Next.js and asynchronous task queues. * Performance Optimization: Reduced downtime-related client complaints by approximately 50% by replacing scheduler-based execution with autoscaling to improve application availability. * DevOps & CI/CD: Built CI/CD pipelines and Docker containerization for C++ desktop applications, deploying and supporting production software across Windows and Linux environments. * Backend & Network Programming: Developed multithreaded FTP/SFTP and TCP/IP file-transfer systems with connection management, retry mechanisms, and error handling to support reliable automated data exchange. * Network Security: Implemented secure client-server communication using public/private-key authentication and AES-256-GCM encryption. * Legacy Modernization: Migrated core legacy application modules from Delphi to C++, improving maintainability across Windows and Linux platforms. * Speech AI & Model Evaluation: Evaluated Ollama, Phi, and Vanna AI for SQL generation and built speech-to-text pipelines using Faster-Whisper and Vosk.

About

I’m a Software Engineer specializing in Python, AI/LLM applications, Agentic AI, and backend development, with nearly 3 years of professional experience building production software. At my current role, I’ve built an offline RAG-based Text-to-SQL system using LLMs, developed AI-powered platforms integrating MCP tools, and worked on multithreaded systems, secure communication, and production deployments. My technical stack includes Python, C++, TypeScript, FastAPI, React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Docker, and technologies such as RAG, LLMs, and AI agents. I also build projects involving autonomous coding agents and full-stack AI applications. I’m passionate about building practical AI products and exploring opportunities in AI Engineering, LLM application development, Agentic AI, and backend systems.
