Individual adoption is not organizational impact.

The work that matters is what survives production: latency budgets, eval loops, fraud signals, and orgs that can execute. Here is the signal.

Flagship

Agentic engineering at Interface.AI

Led a 40+ person engineering org into an agentic way of building software: agents that take product specs to shipped features and keep improving systems from real production data. Result: a 5× lift in engineering throughput, without giving up quality.

First GenAI Kindle

Led Amazon’s first-generation GenAI-enabled Kindle workflows - LLMs, agents, and content safety; 5 SDEs.

Where the work lived

Founding, Staff IC, and Tech Lead roles across voice AI, agentic SDLC, GenAI, and fraud systems.

2024 – Present Dobr.AI Founder & CTO Voice AI interviewing platform - AWS microservices, agent orchestration at ~1.5s, cheating-detection.

Founded Dobr.AI to raise the standard of tech hiring: replace obsolete interview frameworks and evaluate real-world skills instead of brand pedigree.

  • Built a voice-based AI interview agent for natural conversational technical interviews that adapt to candidate responses and task progress.
  • Architected a cloud-native AWS microservices platform for thousands of concurrent interviews with >99.9% uptime.
  • Built an in-house agent orchestration framework with context-driven sub-agents for adaptive response generation, evaluation, and feedback - caching and preemptive processing to hold ~1.5s latency at low cost.
  • Shipped cheating-detection from behavioral signals (response cadence, fraud signals) and dynamic validation agents.
  • Designed a plugin system for new interview formats (machine coding, system design) and evaluation logic without core refactors.

2025 – 2026 Interface.AI Staff Software Engineer Led 40+ eng org. Auto Product Engineering (5× productivity). Graph RAG for banking at 98%+.

Technical leader of a 40+ person engineering org. Architecture and execution from feasibility and technical POC through pilot and production rollout - 90%+ on-time delivery and 70%+ pilot-to-production conversion.

  • Led the shift from traditional software engineering to an agentic engineering lifecycle with Auto Product Engineering: autonomously develops features from product specs and continuously improves production systems from real data.
  • Delivered a 5× engineering productivity gain without quality loss - three months of projects in two weeks.
  • Built a high-accuracy Graph RAG knowledge platform for banking, with evaluation benchmarks for high-density query scenarios at 98%+ accuracy when combined with Auto Product Engineering.

2020 – 2024 Amazon Tech Lead GenAI Kindle, Fresh/AWS self-checkout fraud & abuse, GO ground-truthing - led 4–5 SDEs.

Tech Lead across GenAI Kindle, AWS self-checkout fraud & abuse, and Amazon GO ground-truthing / camera planning - architecture, planning, and teams of 4–5 SDEs.

  • GenAI Kindle: first-generation GenAI-enabled Kindle workflows - robust model deployment, LLMs, agentic execution, and safeguards against harmful or biased content. Cross-team collaboration; led 5 SDEs.
  • Fraud & abuse (AWS self-checkout / Fresh): end-to-end suite tackling retail shrinkage ($94.5B industry loss in 2021) - theft detection, alerts, MLOps, continuous training/deployment, ground-truthing. Led 4 SDEs.
  • Amazon GO receipt ground-truthing: cut associate effort 50% and metric turnaround 66% (3 days → 1 day).
  • Camera planning automation: streamlined planning 60% and reduced SDE operational effort 95%.

Active surface area

Open-source systems for local-first agents and AI-native engineering orchestration.

What I optimize for

Production systems, platform leverage, and craft that compounds.

Agentic systems & voice AI

Production agents with latency budgets, evaluation loops, and behavioral fraud signals - not demos.

LLM / RAG platforms

Graph RAG, selective routing between SLM and LLM, eval harnesses that survive banking-grade density.

Platform engineering

Event-driven backends, AWS microservices, MLOps pipelines, and systems that stay up when traffic spikes.

Fraud, trust & safety

Retail-scale abuse prevention, ground truth platforms, and safeguards for GenAI content.

0→1 and Staff strategy

Founding through scale: architecture choices that compound, and orgs that can execute them.
