GenAI, LLM Integration, and Automation

  • Architected and implemented LLM-powered backend services using Python and Flask, enabling automation of complex, manual workflows with production-grade reliability.
  • Designed prompt engineering strategies, including system prompts, task decomposition, few-shot prompting, chain-of-thought-style reasoning (task-level), prompt templating, and response validation layers to ensure deterministic and high-quality outputs.
  • Built LLM orchestration pipelines handling input preprocessing, context enrichment, prompt versioning, output parsing, retries, fallbacks, and guardrails.
  • Evaluated and benchmarked Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview, Gemini Flash 2.0, GPT-4o, o1, and o3-mini using latency, cost, accuracy, and consistency metrics; productionized workflows on Gemini 2.5 Pro.
  • Implemented AI-driven features, including document classification, semantic summarization, structured content generation, entity extraction, and automated validation.
  • Applied Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) concepts using embedding-based semantic search, context chunking, and relevance filtering to improve response accuracy.
  • Worked with vector search fundamentals, metadata indexing, and context window optimization for scalable AI workflows.
  • Developed agentic workflow patterns involving tool calling, multi-step reasoning, and task delegation across services.
  • Prototyped and validated AI workflows using Google AI Studio, OpenAI Playground, and Jupyter Notebook, and then integrated them into production backend systems.


Backend Engineering and System Design

  • Designed and maintained Spring Boot-based backend services, focusing on scalability, reliability, and maintainability.
  • Developed and exposed RESTful APIs to support file translation, source-to-target data conversion, and backend integrations.
  • Built efficient backend systems for large-scale data migration and cloud transformation projects.
  • Improved system performance by refactoring legacy codebases, optimizing workflows, and reducing failure points.


Tool Development – Raven (Cloud Migration Support Tool)

  • Played a backend-centric role in the development of Raven, focusing on API design, service integration, and query translation workflows.
  • Contributed to backend architecture, supporting cloud data warehouse migrations.


Code Reviews and Technical Leadership

  • Conducted code and design reviews, ensuring adherence to best practices, performance standards, and maintainability.
  • Held merge rights, managing version control, and maintaining code quality across repositories.
  • Mentored junior engineers on backend development, system design, and product knowledge.
  • Collaborated with cross-functional teams to resolve complex technical challenges, and deliver scalable solutions.
