Work Experience
Software Developer
TriStar Consulting Agency
Apr 2025 - Present
Led design and delivery of production-grade, AI systems across talent acquisition and knowledge-based reasoning, focusing on agentic workflows and RAG architectures.
Problem
Existing recruitment and knowledge-reasoning workflows relied on manual processing, simple rule-based logic, and slow AI pipelines, resulting in high latency, low transparency, and limited scalability across enterprise use cases.
Approach
Designed and optimized end-to-end AI pipelines for resume parsing, candidate ranking, and automation using hybrid LLM + OCR architectures. Built modular, agent-based systems for parsing, scoring, ranking, reporting, and outreach. Implemented custom ranking pipelines with transparent justification via FastAPI and Python ETL workflows. Developed advanced RAG and graph-based reasoning engines for large-scale text corpora, combining knowledge graphs, iterative query refinement, and prompt optimization. Developed LLM applications using LangChain, LangGraph, and Hugging Face, implementing RAG systems with ChromaDB for context-aware responses and multi-agent workflows. Built agentic AI systems with autonomous decision-making, enabling task decomposition, tool use, and self-correction through iterative reasoning with open-source models via Ollama. Automated orchestration and monitoring using n8n and LangSmith.
Impact
Reduced resume parsing latency from 15 seconds to 3 seconds through parallel processing and batching while maintaining high accuracy. Achieved candidate scoring at scale, reduced manual data wrangling by 80%, and delivered AI systems with over 90% retrieval and reasoning accuracy. Enabled enterprise clients to deploy transparent, scalable, and auditable AI-driven workflows across recruitment and knowledge reasoning domains.

AI Engineer
KingScote Informatics
Mar 2024 - Present
Built machine-learning–powered backend services and recommendation systems to process structured datasets, generate predictions, and improve user engagement.
Problem
An internal application relied on hard-coded rules to analyze structured input data, making it difficult to adapt when data patterns changed and limiting personalization capabilities.
Approach
Collected and cleaned tabular datasets using Pandas, engineered input features, and trained classification models using Scikit-learn. Developed recommendation systems using collaborative filtering (SVD, ALS) and content-based filtering (TF-IDF, cosine similarity). Built classification pipelines with Random Forest and XGBoost on imbalanced datasets, applying SMOTE for data augmentation and hyperparameter tuning via GridSearchCV. Implemented a PyTorch prototype to compare results against classical models. Wrapped selected models inside FastAPI services with `/predict` endpoints and validated requests using structured payloads. Managed code versions and iterations using Git.
Impact
Replaced rule-based logic with deployable ML inference services, enabling model-driven decision-making and faster iteration cycles. Improved user engagement by 23% and click-through rate by 20% through recommendation systems. Achieved 92% precision on classification tasks involving imbalanced data, increasing reliability of predictions in production scenarios.
