  • Build and maintain RAG pipelines, structured prompting, and retrieval strategies.
  • Use synthetic data, scenario replay, state machines, and simulation to design and validate product logic.
  • Build end-to-end product features across Python and TypeScript backend services, REST and GraphQL APIs, and React frontend experiences.
