ABOUT MIYA LONGWE
I build intelligent software systems that bridge the gap between traditional enterprise architecture and the AI-driven future.With 20+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, I specialize in designing and implementing AI/ML-powered solutions using Spring AI, LangChain4j, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures. My work sits at the intersection of cutting-edge generative AI and battle-tested enterprise Java development—bringing production-ready AI capabilities to large-scale systems.What I bring to the table: AI/ML Engineering: Spring AI, MCP. AI Agents, RAG pipelines, prompt engineering, embeddings, chat models, transcription, and response evaluation Enterprise Architecture: Spring Boot microservices, event-driven systems (Kafka, SQS/SNS), AWS Step Functions, Kubernetes Technical Leadership: Led global teams of 13+, mentoring engineers, conducting code reviews, and driving architectural decisions Cloud & DevOps: AWS (ECS, DynamoDB, Lambda), Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD pipelines Full-Stack Delivery: React, Angular, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, MongoDBThroughout my career, I’ve delivered high-impact solutions across fintech, insurance, e-commerce, healthcare, and pharmaceutical research—from automating Novartis’s drug discovery pipeline to building mission-critical insurance platforms at Liberty Mutual. Most recently, I’m integrating generative AI and prompt engineering into enterprise-grade applications at Xpanse.I hold an MS in Software Engineering from Brandeis University, an MBA from Cardiff Business School, and a Designing Generative AI Business Solutions certification. I’m also the organizer of the Boston Java Meetup Group, where I lead workshops on Spring AI, Model Context Protocol (MCP), and AI agent development.Let’s connect if you’re working on AI-powered enterprise solutions, exploring Spring AI, or looking for a technical leader who can bridge legacy systems and modern AI architectures.
