LLM & AI Agent Architecture
Design and implement LLM-enabled architectures, including RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) solutions using structured and unstructured telecom data.
Architect and govern AI agents and multi-agent systems for automation, diagnostics, decision support, and workflow orchestration.
Enable secure integration of LLMs and agents with enterprise data platforms, APIs, and business systems.
Define best practices for prompt engineering, model orchestration, evaluation, and feedback loops.
Large-Scale Data Architecture
Lead the design of large-scale, cloud-native data platforms capable of processing high-volume, high-velocity telecom data.
Architect low-latency and batch data ecosystems handling CDRs, network telemetry, logs, KPIs, customer interactions, and documents.
Select and implement appropriate data architecture patterns such as Lakehouse, Streaming-first, and Data Mesh.
Data Pipelines & Engineering
Design and oversee end-to-end data pipelines covering ingestion, transformation, enrichment, feature creation, and serving layers.
Build AI-ready pipelines optimized for LLM training, inference, agent context retrieval, and model lifecycle management.
