Experience
AI Engineer Intern · Kusnierz Consolidated Manufacturing Ltd.
Dec 2023 - Aug 2025- Building an LLM pipeline that constructs a knowledge graph of claims, assumptions, and evidence from technical documents, with a confidentiality-aware router that keeps sensitive documents on a local LLM (Qwen) while sending non-sensitive ones to a cloud model (Gemini).
- Extracting and linking claims to supporting/contradicting evidence (retrieval + NLI) and storing them in a SQLite/graph evidence map with per-claim status (proven/assumed/contradicted/missing).
- Developing an evaluation harness measuring extraction precision/recall/F1 against a human-labelled gold set, plus systems-correctness checks including a verifiable routing-safety guarantee (no confidential document ever reaches the cloud).
Team Lead · Accenture
Dec 2023 - Aug 2025- Built the platform layer for enterprise AI reusable Python APIs and secure backend services enabling AI workflows, orchestration, and data access across multiple enterprise systems.
- Led the migration of 40+ APIs to Azure Integration Services, replacing ageing integration layers that were constraining scale improving performance and reliability across connected systems.
- Shipped production cloud services with authentication, monitoring, logging, CI/CD, and governance controls, meeting the security and audit requirements of regulated clients in finance, healthcare, and utilities.
- Partnered with solution architects and business stakeholders to identify AI-automation opportunities and turn ambiguous requirements into technical designs that shipped.
- Led and mentored a team of software engineers, setting engineering standards through code reviews and knowledge sharing.
Senior Software Engineer · Accenture
Dec 2020 - Nov 2023- Built the secure backend services and data pipelines underpinning intelligent-automation initiatives, the platform layer those workflows ran on.
- Architected API-led integrations across Azure and MuleSoft (100+ over tenure), connecting enterprise systems, including Salesforce, PeopleSoft, and mainframe, that previously depended on manual data transfer.
- Designed event-driven architectures on Azure (Service Bus, Logic Apps, Functions), replacing batch processes with real-time, high-throughput data flows.
- Built CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, Jenkins, Maven) with automated testing, code review, and containerised deployment; ran performance benchmarking and load testing to keep services available under peak load.
Application Development Analyst · Accenture
Jun 2018 - Nov 2020- Developed API-led integrations (REST and SOAP) on the MuleSoft Anypoint Platform for a global insurance client (QBE), connecting enterprise systems including Salesforce, PeopleSoft, and mainframe applications via JMS/Active MQ messaging; supported and debugged production integrations affecting live business data flows.
Application Development Associate · Accenture
Nov 2016 - May 2018- Built and tested enterprise integration components on MuleSoft, and carried out major version migrations (Mule 3.8 through 4.4), replacing deprecated components working to client delivery standards
