About

Founding AI Engineer and engineering leader with 10+ years of experience taking AI systems from research to production. I build agentic products, retrieval systems and document intelligence for accuracy-sensitive domains, while remaining hands-on across Python, TypeScript and AI infrastructure. I have led teams of 3 to 8 engineers and worked directly with CTOs, CEOs, Product teams and domain experts.

Experience

  1. Allia

    Founding AI Engineer

    AI platform for accounting firms

    Dec 2025 Present

    Building and industrializing Allia's AI platform with the CTO and Product team, from agent architecture to production reliability.

    • Architected a multi-agent copilot with LangChain and LangGraph, hybrid retrieval and domain tools for accounting workflows.
    • Reduced contextual email quality regressions by 68% and critical errors by 89% through evaluation-led agent improvements.
    • Made ingestion reliable at 340,000 workflows per week using dedicated Temporal workers, bounded concurrency and batched vector writes.
    • Built an agentic evaluation harness connected to Langfuse, selecting a configuration that reduced latency by 32% and cost by 9% while improving citation reliability and factual grounding.
