Architecting production GenAI systems for trade compliance - from multimodal AI pipelines to self-improving prompt authoring platforms. ▸ TRIDENT - Architected and deployed a production multimodal GenAI labelling system (Amazon Bedrock Claude Sonnet, text + image reasoning) with AWS Step Functions orchestration (8 Lambda functions), processing ~990K ASINs across 450 product types and 25 global marketplaces. Reduced review time from 217 to 16 seconds per attribute with only 5.5% human override rate, delivering ~$3.8M+/year in operational savings. ▸ TRON - Designed a companion AI meta-authoring system that reverse-engineers human-verified labels into production-ready classification prompts. The LLM writes the rules another LLM follows. 7-stage Step Functions pipeline with self-improving auto-evaluation loops. Projected ~97% time reduction and ~$1.1M cost savings across 450 PTs. ▸ OATH - Designed and shipped a serverless integration architecture delivering classification data to global customs brokers (UPS, Maersk) across the EU-27. GRASP Proxy (Graph API) → S3 → Lambda → Redshift pipeline with OAuth 2.0 + SigV4 dual-identity authentication, processing 33,500+ records daily across 8 business lines. ▸ Designed a real-time regulatory risk monitoring architecture for EU customs compliance with AI-driven predictive risk-scoring across 5 cross-border trade programs. ▸ Designed a Bedrock-powered agentic reporting architecture with anomaly detection and natural-language variance analysis. ▸ Engineered unified analytics across 80+ metric dashboards and 4 disparate systems, saving 234+ hours/year. ▸ Designed large-scale ETL pipeline architecture processing 5TB+ of daily data for 1,000+ users org-wide.

About

I build production AI systems - not prototypes, not demos. Systems that run at scale, get measured, and hold up under real operational load. I'm a Business Analyst at Amazon by title, with 9+ years in data and AI - including 6+ years at Amazon, where I've moved from data analytics into GenAI/LLM solution architecture. I design systems that combine large language models with event-driven AWS infrastructure to solve problems that used to require armies of manual reviewers. ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ 🔹 What I've architected: → TRIDENT :- A multimodal GenAI classification system (Amazon Bedrock — text + image reasoning) that automates compliance attribute labelling. Cut per-attribute review time from 217 seconds to 16 seconds at a 5.5% human-override rate — scaling across 450 product categories and 25 global marketplaces, delivering ~$3.8M+/year in savings at full scale. → TRON :- A companion AI meta-authoring system that automates the prompt-engineering process itself, where one LLM writes the classification rules another LLM follows. Projected to cut prompt-authoring time by ~97% and save ~$1.1M across the same 450 product types. → OATH :- A serverless customs data transfer pipeline delivering duty-accurate EU import declarations across 8 languages for 2 major customs brokers across the EU-27, processing 33,500+ records daily. → EU ASIN Compliance Dashboard :- Real-time regulatory risk monitoring for EU customs compliance, and analytics platforms that have informed $50M+ in strategic decisions. ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ 🔹 How I work: I care about the boring parts of architecture as much as the exciting parts — trade-off analysis, build-vs-buy decisions, integration design, reconciliation logic. The AI system is only as good as the pipeline, auth model, and human-in-the-loop review process around it. ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ 🔹 Stack: AWS (Lambda, Step Functions, CDK, Athena, S3, EventBridge, DynamoDB, IAM) · Amazon Bedrock · Redshift · PostgreSQL · Python · PySpark · SQL ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ Always happy to connect with people working in this space that keeps on evolving.
