Remote, USA1y exp

“Backend lead at a stealth startup and builder of MailIQ/MailBox—an automated Gmail inbox digest + cleanup system. Designed secure multi-account email ingestion and cost-efficient LLM-based summarization, and implemented robust unsubscribe automation using Playwright + OpenAI webpage analysis (including captcha-handling) with strong safety guardrails, incremental rollouts, and rollback strategies.”

“Production-focused ML/AI engineer with hands-on ownership across classical ML and GenAI systems, from CV/NLP services to enterprise RAG. Stands out for combining research-to-production execution with measurable business impact: 40% processing-efficiency gains, 35% fewer support tickets, 5x latency improvement, and 3x throughput gains while maintaining safety and quality.”

“Startup-style full-stack/backend engineer with hands-on AWS architecture experience who shipped an LLM-driven assessment-question automation feature (Python microservice calling AWS Bedrock via SQS, deployed on Lambda) with strong validation/guardrails and retry strategies. Also improved production scalability by moving a CPU/IO-heavy file upload path out of a Go API into a queue/Lambda design monitored with CloudWatch, and has React+TypeScript experience optimizing analytics dashboards.”
