About
As a Technical Lead at PayPal, I spearhead the development of sophisticated multi-agent LLM systems that transform how our Financial Planning & Analysis teams interact with complex data. Leading a team of 5 engineers within a broader 20-person organization, I've architected and deployed cognitive systems that enable natural language querying of aggregated BigQuery tables, delivering precise analytics on budgets, spending trends, and cost centers. My work spans the full AI stack—from designing specialized agents for Tax and OPEX analysis using LangGraph and LangChain, to implementing advanced RAG pipelines with vector databases. I champion the adoption of small language models through supervised fine-tuning (PEFT/LoRA) and reinforcement learning techniques, while driving internal innovation through MCP adoption and A2A prototyping across PayPal teams.
