Gen AI Engineer @ Blue Shield of California

About

Graduated with a Master's degree in Computer Science from Northwest Missouri State University, I am currently a Gen AI Engineer at Blue Shield of California. My work focuses on creating advanced agentic AI solutions that leverage LLMs, multi-agent workflows, and memory architectures to support enterprise decision-making. I specialize in tools like LangChain, CrewAI, and Semantic Kernel to develop LLM-driven applications, alongside expertise in retrieval-augmented generation pipelines using FAISS and Pinecone for enterprise search and document summarization. I have a strong foundation in fine-tuning LLMs such as LLaMA, Mistral, and Falcon to optimize domain-specific performance. My technical skills extend to prompt engineering and chain-of-thought reasoning for task-specific accuracy. With a commitment to innovation and enterprise automation, my goal is to deploy scalable AI solutions that enhance efficiency and drive meaningful business outcomes.
