AI Platform Enablement (Bedrock, GenAI):
Design and operate Amazon Bedrock integrations, model access patterns, prompt and retrieval pipelines, and RAG architectures using AWS native and open tooling.
Agentic AI Orchestration:
Implement agentic workflows (tool use, planning, memory) with frameworks (LangChain, AWS Agents for Bedrock) and secure tool adapters (search, code, data).
Manage observation and safety layers.
MLOps for Foundation Models:
Establish versioning, evaluation, governance, and rollout practices for prompts, datasets, embeddings, and model variants.
Automate offline/online evaluation, A/B tests, and canary releases.
