Implement RAG pipelines using vector databases and search technologies (e.g., Pinecone, Elasticsearch, pgvector) and graph databases when appropriate
Ship fast prototypes, then harden them into scalable systems (testing, reliability, deployment, monitoring) independently or with a team
Participate in discovery, run technical calls/demos when needed, and communicate tradeoffs clearly to client and internal stakeholders
Improve deployed solutions through feature work, bug fixes, monitoring, prompt/model improvements, and additional automations
