About

Hi, I'm Nhoojah

Computer Science undergraduate at the University of Southern Mississippi (GPA: 4.0) shipping production AI systems and scalable backends. I build LLM pipelines, agentic workflows, and cloud infrastructure — from NOAA oceanographic data libraries to real-time citation graph engines.

Areas of Focus
01
LLM & Agentic Systems

Production LLM pipelines with RAG, agentic workflows, and multi-source tool integrations using LangChain, OpenRouter, Gemini, and GCP-hosted inference.

02
Backend & APIs

High-throughput services in Go, Node.js, and FastAPI with microservice architecture, Redis caching, OpenTelemetry tracing, and sub-100ms p99 at 15k+ req/min.

03
Cloud & Data Engineering

Terraform-managed GCP/AWS/Azure, Docker, GitHub Actions CI/CD, and large-scale pipelines processing 17M+ records across distributed cloud systems.
