- As founding engineer at Buildway , architected and shipped https://alawyer.ai/ end-to-end — agentic legal AI platform live in 4 EU markets (DE, IT, ES, FR), backed by NVIDIA Inception and Google for Startups Accelerator.
- Built a hybrid-retrieval Agentic RAG pipeline over a 2.3M+ record legal knowledge base — LlamaIndex embeddings into Weaviate + custom PostgreSQL similarity function, both exposed as Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools for dynamic law retrieval and citation-grounded answers.
- Drove the platform's core architectural pivot: collapsed a brittle multi-agent pipeline (context lost across stateless handoffs) into one sandboxed single agent environment in E2B per conversation — eliminating an entire class of context-drift bugs.
- Designed multi-model orchestration with automatic provider fallback chains — primary-model degradations route to alternates without user-visible failure. Integrated Langfuse end-to-end for LLM traces, evals, and per-step debugging.
- Engineered real-time AI response streaming via Server-Sent Events, cutting time-to-first-token from 3–5s to sub-second, with fault-tolerant session recovery that resumes interrupted generations.
- Diagnosed and resolved a production incident: Prisma connection-pool exhaustion under parallel load — root-caused to multiple client instances spinning up per request, applied singleton pattern to enforce a single shared client, and retuned pool size and idle-timeout, restoring stability without downtime.
- Integrated Stripe subscription billing with idempotent webhook handling for the full payment lifecycle (charges, refunds, cancellations), and built 100+ office integrations via Google Drive (GCP) and OneDrive (Microsoft Graph API).
- Implemented MCP elicitation for mid-session human-in-the-loop feedback — the agent pauses, surfaces a clarifying question, and continues — enabling interactive contract analysis without session restart.

- Built and maintained backend services on the center-booking pipeline of a global standardized English-language testing platform — Spring Boot REST endpoints, service-layer logic, and the MySQL query paths underneath. Debugged production incidents on the live pipeline by log-diving and tracing failures to root cause, and tuned query performance on booking data when slow paths surfaced under load across test centers worldwide.
- Wrote an Apache Kafka event-driven fan-out job that distributed exam-question payloads to test centers globally when an exam was scheduled — producer logic, consumer handlers, and the message contract between the exam-scheduling service and downstream test-center endpoints.
- Owned reliability and observability work on async Apache Kafka consumers: introduced retry handling and dead-letter routing for failure modes that were previously surfacing as opaque upstream timeouts, and tightened logging around the failure paths.
- Built internal monitoring tools backed by tuned MySQL query paths and data aggregation, used by the team for diagnostic triage when production incidents surfaced on the booking pipeline.
- Worked within full SDLC and Agile delivery on an enterprise Java codebase — Git, Maven, Jenkins-managed CI/CD, and AWS EC2 deployments. Every PR reviewed by senior engineers.
