Project Overview

Multi-Agent Opinion Simulation Platform

Responsibilities:
  • Built a multi-agent opinion simulation engine where LLM-powered agents model stakeholder discourse and competing interests across iterative deliberation rounds;
  • Designed agent cognitive profiles incorporating motivated reasoning, loss aversion, the Granovetter threshold model, and commitment escalation to simulate realistic opinion dynamics;
  • Implemented strategic agent behaviors including POST, AMPLIFY, COUNTER, COALITION, REFRAME, and SILENT, enabling agents to adapt their behavior throughout simulations;
  • Built a deterministic LLM-independent routing layer enforcing strict information isolation across belief, public, and private communication channels;
  • Developed simulation evaluation and convergence tracking using Shannon entropy, Gini coefficient, Overton-window drift, and coalition stability, with stop conditions including polarization lock and strategic equilibrium;
  • Implemented asynchronous multi-agent orchestration with concurrent LLM execution and support for both Claude and OpenAI providers;
  • Added mid-simulation event injection to test agent adaptation and simulation robustness under changing conditions.

Project Overview

Platform engineering to automate deployment and operational processes across several Kubernetes clusters. Work spanned building and maintaining a large fleet of operators, backing trigger services and APIs, and contributing to an in-house framework that standardized and accelerated operator development — with AI agents assisting both development and cluster monitoring.

Responsibilities:
  • Built 4 Kubernetes operators and maintained 26 across several clusters, automating deployment and operational processes.
  • Developed trigger services, microservices, and API endpoints to orchestrate platform workflows.
  • Contributed to an in-house operator-scaffolding framework tailored to the platform, cutting operator development time from 6 weeks to 2 weeks.
  • Introduced AI agents to assist operator development and monitor cluster health, reducing manual ops toil.
  • Designed and implemented a scalable multi-channel notification service supporting in-app, email fan-out.
  • Managed and developed 4 senior engineers: performance reviews, growth plans, and technical mentorship.
  • Facilitated cross-team design sessions to align API contracts and architectural standards, improving system interoperability.

Project Overview

Design and delivery of core banking APIs and microservices for a high-throughput financial platform, with an emphasis on scalability, real-time event streaming, and regulatory compliance.

Responsibilities:
  • Architected core banking APIs and microservices with worker pools and async schedulers, sustaining 10k RPS at 99.9% uptime;
  • Introduced gRPC and Kafka to decouple services and enable real-time event streaming;
  • Used Redis for caching, prefetching, and rate limiting under peak load;
  • Optimized PostgreSQL queries and indexes, reducing p95 latency by 60% on critical endpoints;
  • Partnered with product owners and QA to refine SLAs and ensure compliance with banking regulations.
