• Move products from demos and prototypes to scalable, high-quality production systems.

• Broad product-engineering experience across frontend, backend, and systems, with recent hands-on development work.
• Full-stack experience with Node.js, TypeScript, and React, plus Python backend development.
• Hands-on experience with LLM design patterns, vector stores, and model fine-tuning.
• Experience shipping user-facing LLM features or agents for customers, and taking products from MVP to production.
• Experience leading customer conversations and turning feedback into product requirements.
