Vetted Backend Software Engineers

“Built and deployed a production LLM/RAG document automation system for business documents (contracts/claim forms) that extracts schema-validated JSON, generates grounded summaries/Q&A, and integrates into transaction systems via APIs. Emphasizes real-world reliability: hallucination controls, layout-aware parsing with OCR fallback, Step Functions-orchestrated workflows with retries/timeouts, and human-in-the-loop review designed in close partnership with operations and claims stakeholders.”
