The most amazing...
...thing I've designed and deployed is a GenAI Agent for production monitoring that autonomously detects anomalies, performs analysis, and executes ad-hoc fixes.
Work Experience
Senior RPA Developer & Technical Lead
Cadillac Fairview
- Headed end-to-end development of enterprise RPA solutions using UiPath, reducing manual processing time for critical business functions.
- Designed a GenAI-powered agent for production monitoring to automate ad-hoc fixes and proactively identify system issues.
- Architected CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps to standardize code quality checks and streamline deployments for the automation team.
- Developed custom C# and Python activities to extend RPA platform capabilities, enabling complex automation logic beyond standard tools.
RPA Developer
Avison Young
- Led the complex migration of critical workflows from UiPath to Power Automate Desktop (PAD), optimizing licensing costs while maintaining process stability.
- Configured and maintained UiPath Orchestrator infrastructure, including provisioning and managing Azure virtual machines for scalable unattended automation.
- Created reusable C# libraries (e.g., recursive deserialization for complex API responses) to enhance modularity across both UiPath and PAD solutions.
Experience
GenAI-powered Production Support Agent
I led the development of the Python backend, which handled the LLM context management, ensuring the model could accurately classify errors as "system," "application," or "data" exceptions. The agent was then programmed in UiPath to trigger specific self-healing workflows based on this classification, automatically restarting hung applications or sending detailed, pre-analyzed reports to human developers for complex code issues.
This project transformed our support model from reactive to proactive, reducing the mean time to resolution (MTTR) by over 60% and allowing the core development team to focus on new features rather than maintenance.
AI-powered Invoice Processing Architecture
I optimized the UiPath Document Understanding model by retraining extractors to better handle variable invoice layouts and reduce data-extraction errors. Crucially, I engineered advanced post-processing logic to automatically validate extracted data against ERP records. This new logic intelligently filtered out non-critical discrepancies and "noise," preventing unnecessary exception handling for the accounting team.
These optimizations drastically reduced manual touchpoints, resulting in a 30% increase in straight-through processing (STP) and allowing the finance team to trust the automation for high-volume transactions.
