ABOUT

Creative technologist and AI engineer specializing in production-grade agent
systems, multi-agent orchestration, RAG pipelines, and generative AI workflows.
Bridges creativity, AI, and analytics to design scalable agentic systems,
automate research and content pipelines, and deliver full-stack AI applications
— from concept to deployed product.

Builds and deploys custom MCP servers exposing agentic RAG pipelines as
standardized tool interfaces for AI agents, and develops full-stack AI
applications using Node.js, TypeScript, Next.js, FastAPI, OpenRouter, and
Pinecone. Agent portfolio spans single-agent RAG systems, supervisor-pattern
multi-agent teams, deep research agents, interactive data analysis agents, and
enterprise orchestration frameworks — all live and deployed.

Visualization work spans 3D (modeling, character art, architectural viz — Maya,
ZBrush, 3ds Max, Unreal Engine), 2D digital media (painting, illustration —
Photoshop, Illustrator), and GenAI imagery through structured prompt engineering
using Google Flow and Presti, supporting retail product marketing workflows at
scale.
