AI/ML Systems Engineer

I engineer AI systems that are fast, measurable, and production‑ready.

Fast pipelines. Rigorous evals. Backends that hold under load. MS Computer Science at Texas Tech (GPA 3.8), building at the intersection of applied AI and production systems — from sub-100ms RAG to concurrent async inference at scale.

FLOW

AI-powered daily life optimizer — optimizes a full human day

A personal AI that reads your morning state, pulls your calendar, and generates a realistic full-day plan balancing work, body, and relationships. Gets smarter over time through daily feedback loops — like having a life strategist that actually knows your schedule.

IMPA Product Matcher

Intelligent semantic search over 1M+ marine supply products mapped to the global IMPA catalog

An AI/ML layer for a centralized marine supply platform — hybrid retrieval combining vector search and Elasticsearch to automatically map product descriptions to correct 6-digit IMPA codes with ≥96% Top-3 accuracy. Like having a procurement expert who's memorized the entire IMPA catalog.

What I Do

Systems

Design and build production-grade backend systems that are fast, reliable, and scalable. From async APIs to distributed pipelines, I focus on architectures that hold under real-world load.

AI / ML Engineering

Develop end-to-end AI systems — from RAG pipelines to evaluation frameworks and LLM-powered applications. Not wrappers, but systems designed for measurable performance and real use cases.

Automation & Workflows

Build intelligent automation pipelines that reduce manual effort and improve system efficiency. From event-driven workflows to agentic task orchestration, I design systems that operate reliably with minimal intervention.

NetSec Arcade

AI-Powered Cybersecurity Learning Platform

End-to-end RAG system for a cybersecurity learning platform, built under a 3-day deadline. Optimized retrieval from scratch — took latency from ~400ms to under 100ms over 1,000+ indexed chunks. Designed an AI grading pipeline using embedding-based semantic comparison, achieving 85–95% agreement with human graders without fine-tuning. Async FastAPI inference with Redis caching and SSE streaming handles 30+ concurrent tasks with zero blocking.
