About

The block goes silent. Then a sound, and you have milliseconds to react before the race is already lost or won. A decade of national swimming meets taught me that, not as a lesson someone handed me, but as something my body learned before my mind caught up. Today, as a Full-Stack AI Engineer and Computer Science student (4.0 CGPA), that same instinct shows up in production systems: sub-250ms RAG search architectures with pgvector, async pipelines processing 50k+ daily records into PostgreSQL. I don't just call model APIs. I build the data layers, retrieval logic, and Dockerized microservices that make AI reliable when it actually counts. I also serve as IT Manager and Swimming Coach for KP Swimming Association, mentoring 30+ athletes. It's taught me how to translate complex ideas into clear action, and technical strategy into real leadership. Away from code, chess is where I slow the clock down on purpose. No gun, no milliseconds. Just reading four moves ahead before I commit to one. What drives me is the intersection of AI, performance engineering, and real-world impact. 📩 Open to connecting with engineers, founders, and teams building at the frontier of AI. 📧 Email: [email protected] 🌐 Portfolio: https://orakzai-io.github.io
