🟢𝑨𝒗𝒂𝒊𝒍𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝑵𝒐𝒘🟢

I am a Senior AI Engineer and Solutions Architect with 8+ years of experience designing and deploying intelligent automation systems, conversational agents, and secure video/voice streaming platforms for innovative startups and growing enterprises. My expertise brings together the latest in OpenAI (GPT-4/4o), Anthropic Claude, AWS AI/ML, Google Cloud AI, Livekit, and modern full-stack development to create scalable, compliant, and business-focused technology solutions.

From HIPAA-compliant healthcare apps to AI-powered onboarding for real estate, I specialize in building robust platforms that combine conversational and generative AI, voice, natural language understanding, video streaming, and advanced cloud infrastructure, empowering clients to achieve rapid digital transformation and measurable business ROI.

Conversational & Voice AI Systems
- Omnichannel Conversational Agents: Architect and implement advanced chat/voice/multimodal agents using OpenAI, Claude, AWS Lex, Google Dialogflow, and custom RAG workflows by LangChain.
- VoiceBot & Call Automation: Engineered inbound/outbound phone bots and voice assistants with Vapi, Retell, AWS Connect & Polly, GCP Speech, and ElevenLabs—delivering frictionless customer service, scheduling, FAQs, and sales dialing.
- Natural Language Processing: Deploy sentiment analysis, summarization, and semantic search systems with GPT-4/Claude, BERT, spaCy, and cloud-hosted models.

Live Video & Avatar Streaming
- Livekit/Video Automation: Lead development of video meeting, webinar, and avatar streaming platforms for telehealth, education, live events, and virtual collaboration.
- Real-Time Media Processing: Integrated TTS/STT, real-time translation (AWS Polly/Transcribe, OpenAI Whisper, GCP Speech & Translate), and AI-powered captioning.

Generative, Predictive & Document AI
- Multi-Cloud Model Deployment: Orchestrate and fine-tune LLMs (GPT-4, Claude, Bedrock, Vertex AI), vision models, and document intelligence with AWS Textract, Comprehend, GCP AutoML, Document AI, and Rekognition.
- Automated Workflows: RAG-based AI for document ingestion, contract/data extraction, and semantic search across text, video, and audio.

Modern Cloud Architecture & Full Stack
- Cloud-Native Applications: Build secure, compliant (HIPAA, SOC2) systems on AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, SageMaker, DynamoDB, Aurora) and GCP (App Engine, Functions, Firestore).
- End-to-End App Development: Architect full-stack solutions with React.js, Next.js, Node.js, Python (Django, FastAPI), Flutter, and robust DevOps (Docker, CI/CD).
