Projects

AI Gateway ↗
AI Gateway
A unified API gateway layer for multiple LLM providers — routing, rate limiting, authentication, and cost tracking in one place. Built for production AI backends needing multi-model orchestration, fallback strategies, and observability.
Go LLM APIs API Gateway Docker Redis
RAG System ↗
Blaze RAG
A high-performance Retrieval-Augmented Generation pipeline. Ingests documents, generates embeddings, stores them in a vector database, and retrieves context for accurate LLM responses. Fast, modular, and production-ready.
Python RAG Vector DB LangChain PostgreSQL
AI Chatbot ↗
AI Chatbot
Conversational AI chatbot with multi-turn context management, session handling, and backend API integration. Powered by LLM inference with streaming responses and a clean, extendable architecture for domain-specific deployments.
Python LLMs Spring Boot PostgreSQL Docker
Cloud-Native Java ↗
Orion
Spring Boot microservice fully containerized with Docker — demonstrating async processing patterns, REST endpoint design, and production-grade deployment via Docker Compose.
