Transitioning from Senior Engineer to AI Engineer
An incremental hands-on roadmap building, securing, and scaling production-grade AI applications on Azure OpenAI, FastAPI, and Next.js.
Azure AI Ecosystem
Leveraging Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Language, Azure Content Safety, and Azure AI Agents SDKs.
Security Hardened
Rate limiting, kill switches, PII data masking, EXIF metadata stripping, and prompt injection bounds.
Cost & Abuse Guardrails
Strict token output limits, concurrency semaphores, and distributed per-client IP quotas.
Featured Applications
Production-ready AI applications built incrementally
Smart Inspector
Multi-modal vision inspection service providing automatic image tagging, captions, object detection, and OCR transcription.
Support Bot
Healthcare billing support assistant featuring Azure AI Language NLP analysis, PII data masking, and grounded FAQ retrieval.
Prompt Forge
Structured content generation workbench with Azure Content Safety filtering, persona tuning, and SSE real-time streaming.
pocketRag
Private multilingual RAG knowledge base with SQLite vector storage, bundled example documents, and inspectable citations.
Agentic Workflow
Autonomous ReAct agent with multi-tool calling, offline execution, and human approval before sensitive actions.
Agent Workspace
Streaming AI agent workspace with Foundry Agent Service, typed MCP tools, approval gates, and durable conversations.
AI Reliability & Safety Scorecard
Reproducible engineering evidence measured by deterministic evaluation suites. Every score is linked to a versioned dataset, test, and commit hash.
evals/run_evals.py) running synthetic benchmarks without paid API calls or user data.Prompt Injection Resistance
Zero bypasses across roleplay, delimiter hijacking, and recursive system prompt extractions.
PII Masking & Redaction
Full redaction of credit cards, tax IDs, internal emails, and API secrets.
RAG Answerability & Abstention
Direct answers verified against citation chunks; explicit abstention on out-of-context queries.
Tool Authorization & HITL
Destructive actions strictly blocked without cryptographic user confirmation tokens.
Structured Output Schema Fidelity
Pydantic-enforced response structures with zero missing fields or type corruption.
Observed Latency & Cost Profile
Real-time rolling metrics tracked via OpenTelemetry GenAI spans with zero PII retention.
