AI Engineer Kroger (Contract via IBM/ManpowerGroup)
I serve as the lead Generative AI Engineer for an enterprise employee-reallocation tool used by more than 300 people daily. The platform optimizes workforce allocation across departments and has saved Kroger more than $83,000 in costs.
I developed React 19 visual budgeting functionality for monitoring the real-time financial impact of department changes, including JWT authentication and an AI agent. I also built a bulk Excel import system with Python, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL for automated employee-profile updates, addressed dependency security vulnerabilities, and designed advanced search and dynamic clustering capabilities for workforce data.
