AI PROJECTS

ELK + Claude Log Analysis Pipeline

Built an OCR document pipeline using Python, OpenAI, and LangChain to extract, structure, and classify content from scanned business documents.

AGENTIC WORKING STYLE

Configured Claude Code in repo with CLAUDE.md, custom skills, slash commands, sub-agents, and hooks

— making the repo itself an AI-native dev environment.

Built sub-agents for log triage, test generation, and PR review; hooks for guardrails, secret-scanning, and auto-formatting.

Authored reusable skills encoding repo conventions, debugging playbooks, and review checklists — cutting onboarding time for new engineers.

Drive org-wide adoption of agentic development — AI tooling as infrastructure, not assistant. PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
