* Build and optimize Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) workflows integrating vector databases and relational data stores.

* Apply expert-level prompt and context engineering techniques to maximize LLM reliability and performance.

* Implement observability, telemetry, and monitoring instrumentation to ensure the operational health of agentic services.

* Maintain high code quality standards using Python best practices and Pydantic for data validation.

* Proactively identify technical debt, architectural gaps, and new work streams, owning them through to completion.
