• Build evaluation pipelines and observability frameworks to enhance agentic workloads, focusing on reasoning loops, tool selection, and reducing latency while maintaining production-grade security and networking.
• Identify repeatable field patterns and technical "friction points" in Google’s Applied Artificial Intelligence (AAI) stack, converting them into reusable modules or product feature requests for Engineering teams.
