      Technical lead of the AI engine powering Indeed's Sourcing Assistant, which automates recruiter candidate search using LLMs and multi-strategy retrieval. Launched publicly in 2026; generally available across all employers. (Jan 2026 – Present) Architected a multi-agent LLM orchestration system (LangGraph) with iterative retrieval, multi-pass scoring, and reflection loops — 300% improvement in optimal candidate matches over the prior single-model approach Led GPT-5 model migration: systematic offline evaluation across 5 model/reasoning configurations, delivering a data-driven recommendation to use a smaller model for specific prompts at 1/3 latency with acceptable quality trade-offs Designed a retrieval strategy using LLM-refined Lucene queries that contributed 31% of top candidates; removing it degrades employer approval rate by 2.3 percentage points Drove location-aware LLM evaluation as a new architectural capability — 50% fewer empty results, ~39% fewer low-result searches Designed Quick Sourcing, a low-latency pipeline variant completing in 30s vs. 3.8min (87% reduction) with quality parity — live in production Implemented Responsible AI guardrails across all LLM prompts — anti-discrimination instructions, prompt injection mitigation, PII redaction — prerequisites for scaling to 25,000+ users Core engineer on Indeed's first AI recruiting assistant. Built the candidate sourcing pipeline from prototype through beta across 32 employers. (Dec 2024 – Dec 2025) Built the execution layer orchestrating candidate retrieval via fan-out parallelism and LLM-based evaluation with structured outputs (Pydantic) Designed weighted match criteria to prioritize explicit recruiter requirements over job-derived attributes in LLM prompts; added hard filtering for must-have criteria Delivered multi-location support with per-location batching and merge logic that maintained pagination integrity despite single-location upstream API constraints
