  • Explore and implement prompt engineering techniques to improve AI output quality.
  • Work with vector databases and embeddings for semantic search and information retrieval.
  • Experiment with AI frameworks such as LangChain and LangGraph.
  • Evaluate, test, and optimize AI models and applications for performance and accuracy.
  • Develop and maintain backend services and REST APIs using Python and FastAPI.
  • Build scalable and efficient backend components to support AI-powered applications.
  • Integrate third-party APIs, databases, and AI services.
