Senior Full-Stack/AI Engineer specializing in mobile and web product development

San Francisco, CA14y exp

“Built an end-to-end mobile + web Q&A marketplace connecting users with professionals, including real-time chat and Stripe-based monetization (products/subscriptions). Hands-on with scaling Firebase/Firestore (subcollections, composite indexing, pagination) and mobile caching/sync challenges. Also created an internal AI-driven report generator that turned chatbot outputs into curated graphs and PDFs for marketing, iterating based on stakeholder feedback.”

Junior AI Engineer specializing in LLMs, multimodal ML, and applied machine learning

San Jose, CA3y exp

“Software engineer with a disciplined, production-minded approach to AI-driven development: uses ChatGPT, Claude, GitHub Copilot, and scoped coding agents to accelerate delivery without giving up architectural judgment. Notably applied a multi-agent workflow on ClinicOps Copilot, using agents for planning, Bedrock/RAG scaffolding, and failure testing while personally owning architecture, grounding quality, and end-to-end review.”

“New grad focused on AI systems and agent-based development, with hands-on experience using LLMs as a coding partner and building RAG-based document processing workflows. Stands out for practical experimentation with semantic chunking, retrieval optimization, and multi-agent architectures, including redesigning a RAG workflow by adding a reasoning agent to improve response accuracy and reliability.”

“Healthcare-focused ML/AI engineer who has built production voice agents and clinical question-answering systems end-to-end, from experimentation through deployment, observability, and iteration. Particularly strong in making LLM systems reliable in real workflows via RAG, fine-tuning, guardrails, evaluation pipelines, and shared Python tooling; cites ~20% clinical QA accuracy gains and ~40% faster physician decision turnaround.”

“LLM/agentic systems builder who has deployed production solutions for a resource management firm, using an MCP-driven architecture with Neo4j + Elasticsearch and a ChatGPT frontend to generate candidate/company “SmartPacks” and answer entity Q&A. Also built a LangGraph/LangSmith-orchestrated multi-agent workflow that automates data-infra change requests end-to-end (impact analysis, SQL + tests, and PR creation), and delivered a ~60% latency reduction through TTL-based context caching while improving accuracy via a business data dictionary.”

“Senior AI/ML engineer with hands-on experience building production LLM systems in healthcare, including RAG-based clinical question answering and end-to-end MLOps on Vertex AI and Kubernetes. They combine strong platform engineering with applied GenAI work, citing a 35% improvement in factual accuracy and a 30% boost in internal team productivity through modular Python services and CI/CD.”

“AI/ML engineer with hands-on experience building a healthcare-focused generative AI application end-to-end, from architecture and data design through deployment, monitoring, and iterative improvement. Particularly strong in multi-agent LLM systems, fine-tuning, and safety guardrails, with measurable impact including a 20% accuracy lift to 91% and 10% latency improvement in a nutrition recommendation pipeline.”
