Senior AI/ML Engineer
A project focused on building a self-serve code modernization platform for migrating and upgrading full codebases across languages and frameworks using coordinated multi-agent workflows. The platform combines MCP-powered repository navigation, code editing, and automated build, run, and test execution with a repository-aware RAG system that retrieves architecture-level context—such as entry points, dependencies, and module boundaries—to improve correctness and overall modernization quality.
- Architected backend and frontend systems, establishing a scalable foundation for a self-serve code modernization platform.
- Engineered a repository-aware RAG system customized to client codebases.
- Designed and implemented an orchestrator agent coordinating a pool of specialized sub-agents.
- Built webhook-driven listeners to automate pull request creation.
- Developed an end-to-end evaluation pipeline to quantify code quality and modernization outcomes.
- Implemented frontend features and reusable UI components to accelerate product expansion.
AI/ML Tech Lead
