Hands-On Work with AI, Cloud, and Data

I don’t just talk about AI and cloud - I build with them. Recent projects and learning include:

• Deploying LLM-powered apps on AWS using Bedrock, Flask, and Streamlit, with logging, observability, and security constraints baked in.
• Designing GenAI and agentic workflows using RAG pipelines, evaluation harnesses, and prompt engineering patterns.
• Completing advanced programs like Stanford’s XCS221 (AI Principles & Techniques), IBM’s Generative AI Engineering, and NVIDIA’s CUDA Python training.
• Exploring AI risk and governance, including how to align powerful systems with human values instead of just “sprinkling ML dust” on existing products.

You can see some of the concrete outputs at apps.databloom.net.
