Chase Naples

AI Engineering Lead · Vice President, Software Engineer II · Open-Source Contributor

I design and lead reliable AI systems for enterprise use—where model behavior, retrieval, orchestration, integrations, guardrails, and production operations have to work as one system.

Employees supported by the enterprise platformMonthly conversational AI interactionsDevelopment leads across four teamsMerged open-source pull requests

I serve as a development lead for an enterprise conversational AI platform at Bank of America. My work spans GenAI and RAG architecture, LLM integration and evaluation, agentic orchestration, API and integration design, production reliability, and engineer mentorship. Public résumé results include 30%+ fewer live escalations per topic and 20%+ fewer incident tickets.

Enterprise work is intentionally described at a public-safe level. Internal architecture, code, systems, and data are not shared here.

Engineering focus

  • Agentic orchestration: routing policies that choose deterministic workflows, retrieval, clarification, tools, or human escalation with explicit controls.
  • Enterprise RAG: governed evidence, retrieval quality, evaluation sets, confidence, latency, and measurable failure modes.
  • Conversational systems: intent, entity, context, and dialogue patterns that turn ambiguous language into safe, maintainable journeys.
  • Integrations and platforms: typed API contracts, authentication, workflow automation, failure handling, and reusable enterprise patterns.
  • Guardrails and reliability: validation, fallbacks, access boundaries, observability, SLOs, staged delivery, and production-readiness reviews.
