01 / About
Engineering with a strong sense of ownership.
I've spent my career turning loosely defined requirements into software that teams can trust in production. My background covers platform architecture, REST APIs, distributed services, data pipelines, and the cloud systems that support them.
More recently, I've worked on AI and LLM evaluation—building test harnesses, scoring workflows, and internal tools that help teams understand where a model works, where it fails, and what changed between releases.
LLM evaluation, OpenAI APIs, pandas, NumPy, ETL
FastAPI, .NET Core, ASP.NET Core, REST APIs
Azure, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD
SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis
Test harnesses, regression testing, observability
02 / Experience

Python · FastAPI · pandas · SQL
02
↗
Cloud-Native API Platform
A production microservice platform with secure REST APIs, asynchronous processing, caching, containerized delivery, and automated release gates.
C# · .NET Core · Azure · Kubernetes
03
↗
Evaluation Insights Dashboard
An internal tool for tracking evaluation runs, inspecting edge cases, comparing model behavior, and identifying regressions before release.
TypeScript · Angular · REST APIs
04 / How I work
“Good engineering is not only about making it work. It's about making the behavior clear, measurable, and dependable.”
01
Start with the real problem
Clarify the behavior, users, constraints, and failure modes before choosing a solution.
02
Build for the next engineer
Clean interfaces, useful tests, and clear documentation make systems easier to own.
03
Measure what matters
Use observable behavior and repeatable evaluation instead of relying on assumptions.
