Langchain Consultant
Expert AI framework development and RAG systems implementation
As Associate Director of Applied AI/ML at Fitch Ratings, I build production agentic AI systems, multi-agent workflows, and RAG pipelines daily using LangChain and LangGraph. My work involves architecting autonomous research agents and document intelligence platforms that analysts use to interact with credit ratings data, financial filings, and regulatory documents. This is LangChain in production, in a regulated environment, at scale.

Langchain Implementation Examples
Enterprise Knowledge Assistant
Developed a RAG system using Langchain to enable employees to ask questions about internal documentation, policies, and procedures. The system ingests company documents, embeddings them for semantic search, and generates contextually accurate answers while citing sources. This reduced time spent searching for information by 70%.
Financial Document Analysis
Created an AI agent using Langchain to analyze financial documents and extract key insights. The agent uses multiple tools to process complex financial reports, identify risks, and summarize findings for financial analysts. The system handles document ingestion, information extraction, and report generation autonomously.
AI Customer Support Agent
Built a sophisticated customer support agent using Langchain that can handle complex queries by accessing product documentation, order history, and support policies. The agent uses memory to maintain conversation context and tools to access customer data systems, providing personalized and accurate support.
