Vetted AI Engineers in New Jersey

Ojasmitha Pedirappagari

Mid-level AI Engineer specializing in LLMs, RAG, and agentic platforms

Jersey City, NJ5y exp

“Built and shipped a production RAG-based assistant that lets parents ask natural-language questions about their child’s learning progress, using pgvector retrieval (child-id filtered) and Redis caching to hit ~180ms latency. Implemented real-world guardrails and compliance (Llama Guard, COPPA, retrieval thresholds, fallbacks) with 99.5% uptime, and ran human-in-the-loop eval loops that improved satisfaction from 3.8 to 4.2 while serving 60k+ monthly users and reducing costs significantly.”

“Healthcare-focused LLM engineer who deployed a production triage and clinical knowledge retrieval assistant using RAG and LangGraph-orchestrated multi-agent workflows. Emphasizes clinical safety and compliance with robust hallucination controls, HIPAA/PHI protections (tokenization, encryption, audit logging, zero-retention), and human-in-the-loop escalation; reports a 75% latency reduction in a healthcare agent system.”

“Built and deployed a production Llama 3-based RAG document Q&A system using FAISS, addressing context-window limits through chunking and keeping retrieval accurate by regularly refreshing embeddings. Has hands-on orchestration experience with LangChain and LlamaIndex for multi-step LLM workflows (including memory management) and collaborates with non-technical teams (e.g., marketing) to deliver AI solutions like recommendation systems.”

Mid-level AI Engineer specializing in multi-agent systems and RAG

Jersey City, NJ4y exp

“Built and shipped a production LangGraph-based multi-agent LLM analytics/decision copilot that answers questions across SQL/BI systems and unstructured docs, emphasizing grounded, tool-verified outputs with citations and confidence gating. Deep hands-on experience with orchestration (LangGraph, CrewAI, OpenAI Assistants, MCP) plus real-world latency/cost optimization (vLLM batching/KV caching, speculative decoding, quantization) and rigorous eval/observability. Partnered closely with business/ops stakeholders to deliver explainable reporting automation, cutting manual reporting time by 50%+.”

“Built a production-style LLM document summarization/generation workflow that mitigates token limits and reduces hallucinations using semantic chunking, FAISS-based embedding retrieval (top-k via cosine similarity), and section-wise generation. Orchestrated the end-to-end pipeline with AWS Step Functions and aligned outputs with sales stakeholders through demos, visuals, and documentation.”

Tarun Gowda

Screened

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in AI, backend systems, and cloud platforms

Morristown, NJ3y exp

“Full-stack engineer who helped build and launch an internal genAI platform called GAIL, supporting multiple LLMs, confidential document upload for RAG pipelines, and collaborative chat. Worked across FastAPI, React/TypeScript, AWS/DynamoDB, and Azure, with notable ownership of backend RAG logic, MCP integration architecture, and frontend fixes that improved chat usability.”

Satish Kumar Reddy

Screened

Mid-level AI/ML Engineer specializing in NLP, computer vision, and MLOps

Remote, NJ5y exp

“Built and deployed a production LLM/RAG intelligent document understanding platform for healthcare clinical documents (notes, discharge summaries, diagnostic reports), integrating spaCy entity extraction, Pinecone vector search, and a Spring Boot API on AWS with monitoring and guardrails. Demonstrates strong MLOps/orchestration (LangChain, Airflow, Kubeflow/Kubernetes) and a metrics-driven evaluation approach, and partnered with a healthcare operations manager to cut manual review time by 80%.”

“Built and deployed production LLM applications including a natural-language-to-read-only-SQL system focused on ambiguity handling and query safety (schema whitelisting, intent validation, confidence checks, deterministic execution). Experienced with LangChain-based, modular agent orchestration and RAG document QA for large PDFs, with a metrics-driven testing/evaluation approach and cross-functional delivery with marketing on an AI content recommendation/search tool.”

“AI/ML engineer with hands-on experience owning production deployments from discovery through post-launch stabilization, including real-time computer vision/OCR systems and LLM-powered RAG workflows. Stands out for translating messy customer workflows into reliable backend services, debugging non-deterministic retrieval issues, and hardening AI systems with validation, monitoring, and human-review fallbacks.”
