I build production AI and data systems that turn months of manual work into seconds, including the Product Intelligence Engine: a full-stack RAG app I independently designed and built to provide ranked product recommendations in under 7 seconds.

Other major contributions include an LLM pipeline that enriched 42,000+ product records, an address deduplication system, and automated ETL workflows supporting a NetSuite ERP migration.

The problem

Finding the right products for customers often requires manually searching large product catalogs or relying on AI tools that lack access to company-specific product data. It's a slow and repetetive process that doesn't scale well and is difficult to automate. The effort adds up on every request, taking away time from actually helping customers.

The solution

I designed and built a retrieval-augmented recommendation engine in React that returns relevant product recommendations in less than seven seconds. It searches internal product catalogs semantically and transforms a manual lookup process into one that is instant and reliable.

Validated by leadership

A project I designed and built independently, from the vector search to the frontend. In a live demo, leadership saw enough to back it for production. The CEO and CFO were impressed by the relevance of the recommendations, the speed of the responses, and the potential to transform how sales teams work with customers.
