 Agentic RAG & MCP Architecture: Designed and deployed an advanced Agentic RAG architecture orchestrated via FastAPI, Redis, and PostgreSQL, featuring LLM function/tool calling and security-hardened prompts. Extended the platform using Model Context Protocol (MCP) to standardize context handling while preserving peak performance standards.  Hybrid Conversational AI: Implemented a production-grade hybrid chatbot using Rasa, combining NLU for structured FAQ handling with LLM-powered natural language generation to manage complex queries and end-to-end booking workflows.  Evaluation & Observability: Built a multi-metric evaluation pipeline covering RAG quality, tool-calling accuracy, LLM output assessment, and security auditing, visualized through Streamlit. Integrated Grafana dashboards for real-time system performance tracking.  End-to-End QA Automation: Engineered a Playwright-based QA framework to automate core user journeys (authentication, performance benchmarks, booking workflows), generating structured execution reports and screenshot-backed audit trails.  Solution Architecture & Documentation: Partnered with Product Owners on technical solution designs and feasibility assessments. Authored layered technical specifications and stakeholder summaries to bridge business and engineering needs.
