• Build responsive, modern UIs using React / Next.js that interact with AI backends in real-time (streaming responses, tool call results, agent progress)
• Implement Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines using vector databases (Azure AI Search) for contextual AI applications
• Leverage AI coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code) as core development tools to accelerate full-cycle engineering work
• Containerize and deploy full stack AI applications to Azure / AWS using Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud-native CI/CD pipelines
• Monitor, evaluate, and improve LLM-powered features through prompt engineering, fine-tuning, and feedback loops
• Collaborate with product, data, and DevOps teams to ship AI-powered features from prototype to production
