About

I am a Lead Software Engineer at Adobe with 6+ years of experience building large-scale automation systems, CI/CD infrastructure, and AI evaluation frameworks. My recent work focuses on developing evaluation systems for AI-powered research agents. I designed and implemented a Python-based AutoEval framework and scalable LLM-judge pipelines that benchmark AI models across reasoning, synthesis, and source attribution tasks. These systems use prompt-engineered evaluation workflows and multi-judge consensus to automate qualitative assessment of AI-generated responses. Previously, I worked extensively on CI/CD infrastructure supporting Adobe Acrobat PDF processing and tagging pipelines across Windows, macOS, and Linux environments. I also architected containerized stability testing frameworks and built internal tools that improved automation reliability and debugging efficiency across distributed build environments. I enjoy building engineering systems that improve developer productivity, automate complex workflows, and enable reliable evaluation of modern AI systems. Key areas of interest • AI Evaluation & LLM Benchmarking • Automation Infrastructure • Python Engineering • CI/CD Systems • Distributed Systems • Developer Productivity Tooling I’m always interested in conversations around AI systems, automation infrastructure, and large-scale engineering challenges.
