Backend + AI engineer in San Francisco, California — available to work.
3+ years of professional experience · MS CS @ CU Boulder · Focus: scalable systems + AI
I build production systems at the intersection of backend engineering and AI — from RAG platforms serving 2M+ users to LLM agents, observability pipelines and cloud-native services. AI-native builder: I use AI technologies end-to-end to design, ship and iterate on anything faster — day-to-day coding with Claude and Cursor.
