Selected Impact (Retrieval & Search)

Designed retrieval-first code intelligence pipelines that combine static-analysis signals (semgrep, bandit, safety), repository metadata, and caching (Redis) to answer developer questions precisely via APIs and UI.

Built RAG-style document workflows (Flask/FastAPI) with structured generation, validation (Pydantic/Marshmallow), and PDF outputs for compliance use cases.

Authored an MCP server to operationalize analyzers/tools as safe, composable functions; emphasized schema contracts, timeouts, and failure isolation.

Shipped production UIs in Next.js with search, filtering, and result visualization; containerized services (Docker, Nginx) with Postgres/Redis backing.
