Role – Solution Architect and Fullstack Developer: Paal designed and implemented the entire platform from architecture to production deployment, with a focus on AI-assisted development and reusable patterns for agent and RAG solutions. He developed a .NET-based API with FastEndpoints and AI agent orchestration (Microsoft.Agents.AI), with tools for hybrid search against a knowledge base built on PostgreSQL, pgvector and Azure Blob Storage. On the frontend, he built a modern React application (TanStack Start, Tailwind, Clerk) with chat and search experiences against the agents. He implemented multi-tenant knowledge bases, document extraction (PDF, Word, Markdown, text) and streaming chat with source citations via an Azure-based language model. He also set up CI/CD with GitHub Actions and container-based deployment on Azure Container Apps.
