Hi, I'm Arpnik, an AI Engineer and Software Engineer with 5+ years of experience across backend systems, distributed infrastructure, and applied AI/LLM engineering. I currently build AI agent pipelines and RAG systems at a private markets startup, and I've previously led engineering teams at Increff, where I built services handling tens of thousands of requests per minute and personally interviewed 70+ candidates for backend and technical roles. I'm also completing a Master's in Applied Computer Science at Concordia University, with research experience at Mila, Quebec's AI institute, on LLM fine-tuning and reasoning. I can help with: - Career transition and interview prep, from someone who's sat on both sides of the table - Resume and LinkedIn profile reviews grounded in what actually gets candidates shortlisted - Backend and systems design guidance, from data pipelines to services running under real production load - AI/LLM engineering mentorship: RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, model fine-tuning, and evaluation Book a session if you want specific, direct feedback instead of generic advice.
