Hello! Thanks for taking time to find out a little more about me.
I built the short video above with the help of HeyGen, and the chatbot below with Gemini and Vertex AI.

The chatbot uses an extended resume and cover letter you already have as its source material. I thought it could be an interesting way to engage with the information in a more interactive format. I have only lightly tested it, and it seems promising so far, though it may occasionally hallucinate.

* Technical Note: This assistant utilizes a custom RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipeline built via Google Vertex AI and Cloud Run. To ensure a seamless rollout, I resolved initial 401 Authorization errors by configuring specific IAM roles and securing the backend proxy with an integrated secret key. I further optimized the user experience by refining the system instructions to enforce plain-text formatting and concise, documentation-style responses.
