About

I'm a software engineer on Highmark's AI/ML team. I build production AI systems for real-time voice training, agent evaluation, and enterprise knowledge retrieval, including the multimodal assistant and internal LLM gateway behind a GenAI platform that serves 6M+ prompts a year.

My work spans full-stack AI development, distributed systems, multi-agent orchestration, and RAG pipelines, plus the infrastructure underneath: LLM gateways, agent registries with policy gates and promotion controls, durable execution, and the evaluation and observability needed to ship reliable AI products.

Experience

Highmark Inc.

AI/ML team, 2024-present

Software Engineer, AI/ML team

Aug 2024 - Present / Remote, USA

Build production AI systems spanning real-time training, agent lifecycle management, evaluation, and enterprise retrieval.

  • Shipped a real-time AI call-center training platform with configurable voice roleplays, reducing new-hire ramp-up time by 28%.
  • Designed an LLM-as-judge system calibrated on human-scored transcripts for reliable coaching feedback.
  • Built an AI-agent lifecycle control plane with versioned registry metadata, policy gates, durable evaluation runs, GitLab promotion, and production observability.
  • Architected a planner-executor-judge evaluation harness with holdout suites for quality, safety, latency, and cost regressions.
  • Engineered a Vertex AI Search workspace with metadata-filtered retrieval, configurable chunking, and citation-linked answers for private datastores.

Software Engineer Intern, AI/ML team

May 2024 - Aug 2024 / Remote, USA

Built retrieval, model access, and multimodal capabilities for internal enterprise AI products.

  • Developed a Flask RAG system with embeddings and Gemini for source-grounded policy answers and document summaries, cutting search time by 70%.
  • Engineered a fault-tolerant internal LLM API gateway with automatic retries and structured request logging.
  • Built a multimodal React and FastAPI assistant on Vertex AI for text, PDF, image, and voice workflows on a platform handling 6M+ annual prompts.

Selected projects

Durable agent infrastructure, memory systems, and AI-native design tools.

Apr 2026 - Jun 2026

Conductor

Go, Kubernetes, Kafka, Event Sourcing, DAG Orchestration

Added per-step checkpoints so long-running workflows can resume after crashes without duplicating tool calls or model spend.

Scheduled DAG-based workflows across a scalable Kafka-backed worker pool with per-task retries.

Captured every model and tool call through event-sourced tracing, audit logs, and real-time workflow monitoring.

Engram

A Python MCP memory harness that carries decisions, project facts, and preferences across AI coding sessions while detecting stale or conflicting context.

~40% fewer repeated context tokens

Python, MCP, Event-Driven Architecture, Agent Memory, BM25
