  • Experience in regulated industries such as financial services.
  • Knowledge of multiple LLM providers and model serving strategies.
  • Familiarity with headless AI agent architectures such as background automation, system-to-system agents, and asynchronous orchestration.
  • Understanding of voice and multi-modal AI architectures including speech-to-text, text-to-speech, intent management, and conversational state handling.
