Building RAG infrastructure at Amazon

I'm a Software Development Engineer on the AWS Quick RAG team in Seattle, building the high-throughput ingestion pipelines that power Amazon Quick Suite, Q Business, and Kendra — 10,000+ documents a day, feeding RAG and LLM experiences over enterprise data.

Studying AI & Machine Learning at Indiana Wesleyan

Alongside the day job I'm working through graduate studies in AI & Machine Learning at Indiana Wesleyan University — the artifacts on this site (Haven, Triage Copilot, PrepPilot) are largely where that coursework turns into shipped systems.

Recent builds

Haven — a fully local AI therapy companion I fine-tuned and evaluated end to end. PrepPilot — a local-first voice-loop mock-interview coach. Triage Copilot — an on-call AI agent that advises but never executes. All three live under Artifacts.

Writing The Applied AI Brief
