Cook Mantra
An application that turns an ingredient photo into complete recipes through multimodal and specialized LangGraph agents for extraction, dish suggestions, nutrition estimates, preview images, and recipe generation.
Senior AI Full-Stack Engineer
Applied LLMs, RAG, and AI Products
I’m a senior full-stack and product engineer with 8+ years of experience shipping software across SaaS, healthcare, education, Web3, and consumer products. My current focus is applied LLM systems built with Python, FastAPI, React, Next.js, TypeScript, local models, and commercial model APIs.
Open to senior AI full-stack, LLM application, founding-engineer, and Forward Deployed Engineer opportunities.
What I bring
My background is in building complete products: translating ambiguous requirements into architecture, shipping frontend and backend systems, integrating external services, handling authentication and permissions, and carrying features through deployment.
I now apply that experience to LLM applications. That includes retrieval pipelines, model routing, structured API boundaries, evaluation workflows, local models, multimodal interfaces, and the React or Next.js experiences through which users interact with the system.
My advantage is not limited to prompting a model. I can work across the full product surface surrounding it.
Clarify the user, business objective, data, constraints, failure conditions, and how success will be evaluated.
Connect model or retrieval workflows to typed APIs, data systems, authentication, observability, and a usable product interface.
Test outputs, document limitations, handle provider and tool failures, improve reliability, and measure the behavior that matters.
Featured projects
An application that turns an ingredient photo into complete recipes through multimodal and specialized LangGraph agents for extraction, dish suggestions, nutrition estimates, preview images, and recipe generation.
An eight-run benchmark comparing retrieval and reranking strategies over a synthetic clinical database. The project evaluates how query rewriting, small-to-big retrieval, aggregate rollup documents, and rerankers affect retrieval and answer quality.
A deployed Next.js and FastAPI LLM application with model routing, validated API boundaries, backend-owned prompts, provider timeouts, browser-side persistence, analytics, automated checks, and Vercel deployment.
Work in progress
Before focusing on applied LLM systems, I spent more than eight years delivering SaaS, healthcare, education, Web3, mobile, and consumer products. That experience shapes how I approach AI applications: as complete systems that require product judgment, secure data handling, maintainable architecture, and reliable delivery.
