Deep expertise in Microsoft Azure (App Services, Azure Functions, Service Bus, Key Vault, etc.).

Hands‑on experience building applications with large language models: RAG, function calling/agents, vector search, and evaluation.

Up‑to‑date knowledge of AI models and agent technologies, able to recommend the most appropriate choice for specific business problems, balancing performance, cost, and risk.

Solid understanding of Azure DevOps for CI/CD, build/release pipelines, and source control (Git).

Strong understanding of security, compliance, and regulatory requirements in financial services.
