Experience
Software Engineer 2
Sep 2023 — Present
Architected and engineered a distributed content ingestion platform for AI/RAG training pipelines, leveraging C#(.Net 8), Azure Durable Functions, Azure Machine Learning, and Azure CosmosDB (NoSQL) to manage and process training data for 40+ data sources- Built incremental data crawlers in C#, projected to cut RAG models training runtime by 60%, unlocking faster iterationcycles and compute savings for downstream AI pipelines.
