AI Engineer with backend engineering roots. Backend Engineer since 2018 (Golang, Python), building microservices with observability and production debugging as first-class concerns. Since 2026, building and operating an LLM application end to end: a production chat engine for small-business point-of-sale, intent routing, context engineering, and a multi-agent engineering workflow where AI agents write, test, and deploy code under human review. I document what breaks as carefully as what works; two field-study papers on working with AI agents came out of that habit.
