AI Engineer II owning end-to-end development of scalable AI pipelines, distributed backend systems, and full-stack features supporting high-volume media and document processing. Key Contributions Designed and led the evolution of multimodal AI pipelines (LLM-based reasoning, document understanding, and automated media generation), improving throughput and reducing failure rates across the workflow. Engineered a high-concurrency processing pipeline enabling 100+ parallel tasks, significantly accelerating turnaround time for large batch operations. Introduced workflow-level optimization and QA automation, reducing manual validation time by 10× and improving reliability for production deployments. Drove architectural improvements across microservices, access-controlled systems, and cloud infrastructure — enhancing fault tolerance, autoscaling behavior, and system-wide consistency. Collaborated cross-functionally to integrate AI capabilities into existing product surfaces, ensuring stability at scale and seamless user experiences.

As an AI Engineer at Creatium, I contributed to AI-driven content workflows and backend feature development for products serving large volumes of educational and accessibility-focused content. Key Contributions Built automated AI-powered audio generation workflows, reducing manual narration workload by 70% and accelerating production cycles. Developed early versions of text- and image-processing pipelines for complex documents, improving extraction consistency and reducing human review time by 5×. Improved performance and reliability across core backend APIs and user-facing components in a system powering a major share of business revenue. Strengthened end-to-end processing stability through optimizations in background tasks, data flow, and pipeline monitoring.

At Neusort, I worked as a core contributor to the company’s AI-driven interview platform — building real-time communication systems, scaling backend infrastructure, and delivering full-stack features that powered automated technical interviews at production scale. Key contributions: Developed a real-time AI interviewing platform using Mediasoup (WebRTC), Next.js, and Socket.io, delivering sub-100ms latency and stable multi-party media streaming. Implemented LLM-based interviewer logic, enabling automated evaluation and interactive AI-led interview flows. Scaled the platform to 10,000+ interviews per month by designing Azure VM orchestration, predictive autoscaling, and demand-based provisioning. Architected a centralized data abstraction service (Node.js, Prisma, MySQL) enforcing strict privacy policies and eliminating direct DB access across microservices. Improved system performance and reliability by optimizing media pipelines, backend APIs, infra monitoring, and distributed workflows.

About

AI Engineer II specializing in production-grade AI systems, backend engineering, and scalable distributed architectures. I build and deploy LLM-powered features, multimodal automation workflows, and intelligent pipelines that run reliably at scale. My work spans LLM integrations, document understanding, autoscaling pipelines, and media processing systems operating at high concurrency. I also bring deep backend experience across Node.js, real-time systems (WebRTC), microservices, high-throughput queues, and Azure VM orchestration. I focus heavily on system reliability, performance, and end-to-end ownership — designing, shipping, and optimizing features used in revenue-critical environments. I enjoy working in fast-paced engineering setups where AI, backend, and cloud infrastructure intersect to solve real business problems.
