About me

I'm a Software Engineer currently pursuing a Master's degree in Computer Science with over 5 years of experience in the IT industry, with a focus on DevOps and AI. My expertise lies in designing, implementing, and managing cloud-based and self-hosted AI Agents to optimize company operations in a trustworthy, transparent, and cost-effective manner. I am proficient in AWS and Azure services, with certifications in both. I have experience using LLM orchestration frameworks like LangChain, LangGraph, Semantic Kernel, LlamaIndex, AutoGen, and CrewAI to orchestrate AI-powered workflows and autonomous AI agents. I also have experience with LLM protocols like MCP and A2A enabling agents to use external tools, and coordinate with other agents to complete tasks on behalf of users.
