AI Specialist: Software Engineer, Computer Scientist, and Cloud Solutions ArchitectBackground:# 16+ years experience in software development and architecture.# Extended expertise with Java, Scala, C#, Python and JavaScript.There are a lot of Cognitive Services ranging from OpenAI Large Language Models, Vision, Speech and Search. Sometimes, it can be a struggle trying to figure out how to select or integrate all the different pieces needed to implement the applications that support your business but there is no need to worry, you are looking at the right profile.I work with teams and organizations to enable developers, engineers, and architects struggling with trying to sort out all these pieces of the puzzle by helping them see clearly what they need to do, why each component is necessary and step by step guidance on how to implement and integrate the necessary components to build scalable, efficient and intelligent applications leveraging these cognitive services and large language models.Summary:AI ArchitecturesGenerative AI SystemsAI Virtual Assistants with Large Language Models (LLMs)Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) ArchitecturesAutomatic Vectorization with Embeddings and Vector SearchAI Speech Recognition and Speech SynthesisAzure Cognitive ServicesAzure OpenAI ServiceAzure AI Search (formerly Azure Cognitive Search)Azure Document Intelligence (formerly Azure Form Recognizer)Azure Speech APIs (Speech Recognition and Text-to-Speech)Azure Computer Vision (formerly Azure Computer Vision)Azure Custom VisionAzure AI Translation ServiceAzure OpenAI StudioVector DatabasesAzure Redis CacheAzure Cosmos DB (NoSQL)Azure Cosmos DB (MongoDB vCore)Azure Cognitive SearchElasticSearchNeo4jAI Orchestration FrameworksSemantic KernelLangchain (Python and Javascript)Azure Data Stores & ServicesAzure Functions (HTTP, ServiceBus, EventHubs, Cosmos DB triggers etc)Azure EventHubsAzure Service BusAzure SQL ServerAzure Database for PostgreSQLAzure Database for MySQLAzure Blob StoreAzure Data Lake StoreOpenSource Data WorkloadsApache Kafka, Confluent CloudApache FlinkAzure Spark, DatabricksAzure Kubernetes ServiceInterests:# Public Speaking# Writing# Cloud Infrastructure Orchestration# Cooking# Swimming# Music (playing the drums and keyboard
