Built and deployed AI agents end to end: Python/FastAPI AI voice agents using WebRTC, LLM tool calling, streaming audio, and persistent WebSockets, with Redis coordination and HTTP fallback.
Designed AI workflow automation with TypeScript agent orchestration, persistent state, approvals, and third-party tool API integrations; calendar scheduling reduced executions by 77% in a validated monthly-report scenario.
Implemented RAG and persistent AI memory with content ingestion, citations, and access checks, using MongoDB, Qdrant, and embeddings for memory and semantic retrieval.
Built AI tools automating PDF, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint deliverables with automated layout checks, and added browser-based verification of generated web applications.
Delivered user-facing interfaces for AI agents in React/React Native Web (TypeScript), Swift/SwiftUI, and Kotlin/Jetpack Compose, letting users converse with assistants, schedule tasks, and monitor execution; reduced React Query synchronization requests by up to 50%.
Optimized Node.js/Express, MongoDB, and Redis services; consolidated Google/Microsoft OAuth verification, reducing database lookups by 50% (4 to 2) per applicable login.
