Architect. Builder. Problem Solver.
Senior AI & Backend Engineer — Python, FastAPI & Azure
Dallas, TX — Open to Remote / Hybrid
19 years in enterprise technology — more than 13 in architecture and technical delivery. I develop Python and FastAPI services on Azure for enterprise integrations, RAG applications, and agentic workflows, with experience spanning coding, testing, production support, and architecture across Intel and Microsoft engagements. Data engineering experience includes ETL, batch and real-time workloads, cloud data platforms, data quality, and engineering mentorship.
Key Achievements
- FastAPI / RAG: Built production AI data-access layer cutting retrieval latency by 40%.
- Agentic AI: Autonomous multi-step workflows with LangChain + GPT-4o at enterprise scale.
- Data Platform: End-to-end Azure modernization — ADF, Synapse, Databricks, Power BI.
