Mid-level Machine Learning Engineer specializing in cloud, governance automation, and distributed systems

San Francisco, CA4y exp

“Governance engineer intern at GSK who built policy-as-code automation using Open Policy Agent/Rego integrated into GitHub CI/CD and Terraform workflows. Also built and shipped a voice-enabled expense tracking app using speech-to-text + LLM structured extraction with strong validation, retries, and semantic guardrails, and designed the supporting PostgreSQL data model with performance-focused indexing.”

Ranxin Li

Screened

Mid-Level AI/Full-Stack Engineer specializing in agentic LLM systems and RAG

San Jose, USA2y exp

“Built and deployed Clyra.AI, an AI-driven daily scheduling product that uses a LangGraph-based multi-agent LLM pipeline (task extraction, verification, reflection) grounded with strict RAG over emails/documents/calendars and real-world signals like health metrics. Designed a custom agent orchestrator with bounded loops/termination conditions and a self-auditing verification/reflection layer to reduce hallucinations while controlling latency and cost via caching and model distillation.”

Surya Danturty

Screened

Intern AI/ML Engineer specializing in computer vision and time-series forecasting

Riverside, CA0y exp

“Undergrad who built a production RAG chatbot for a messy college website using OpenAI embeddings + FAISS, overcoming hard-to-crawl/non-selectable site content and strict API budget limits. Applies information-retrieval best practices (section-based chunking with overlap, precision/recall evaluation) and reliability techniques (edge-case testing, similarity thresholds, fallback responses), and has experience scaling similar indexing work to ~300,000 Wikipedia pages.”

Farida Poor

Screened

Junior Machine Learning Engineer specializing in NLP and multimodal transformers

Bay Area, CA3y exp

“Built and deployed LLM-powered agentic chatbot and text-to-SQL systems using LangGraph/LangChain (and Bedrock), structuring workflows as DAGs with planning/replanning and validation to improve tool-calling reliability and reduce hallucinations. Operates production feedback loops with online/offline metrics, drift detection, and LangSmith-based evaluation pipelines, and regularly partners with business stakeholders and clinicians using slide decks and visual charts.”

Valeriy Filin

Screened

Senior Backend/Cloud Engineer specializing in IaC, SaaS platforms, and ML/Computer Vision

Aliso Viejo, CA19y exp

“Backend/infrastructure engineer with experience across API development (FastAPI/MySQL/SQLAlchemy), Kubernetes deployments, and large-scale data processing—built a Dockerized Python pipeline to pre-aggregate ~1B Graylog events for efficient querying. Has enterprise infrastructure automation background at Hewlett Packard Enterprise (Datafabric) using Terraform/Ansible with fail-fast and rollback practices, plus Kafka-based sensor streaming prototypes to Google Cloud with Java workers and autoscaling.”

Lakshmi Priya Ramisetty

Screened

Mid-level ML & Data Engineer specializing in GenAI, graph modeling, and fraud/risk analytics

Redwood City, CA5y exp

“Built a production AI fraud/risk scoring platform at BlueArc that ingests web business/product/site data, generates text+image embeddings, and connects entities in a graph to detect reuse patterns and links to known bad actors. Optimized for scale with incremental graph re-scoring and delivered investigator-friendly explainability by surfacing the exact signals/relationships behind each score; orchestrated workflows with Airflow and GCP event-driven components (Pub/Sub, Dataflow, Cloud Run) and has recent LLM workflow orchestration experience (retrieval, prompting, scoring).”

Anay Dongre

Screened

Junior Machine Learning Engineer specializing in GenAI and LLM fine-tuning

Pomona, California1y exp

“Robotics software engineer focused on hard real-time autonomy for legged robots, building a quadruped navigation stack that combines vision SLAM with MPC and maintains a deterministic 500Hz control loop. Deep performance optimization experience across CUDA (sub-2ms perception latency), ROS 2/DDS real-time tuning, and motion planning (cut 500ms spikes to sub-5ms). Also designed distributed ROS 2 + Zenoh communications between quadrupeds and aerial drones and validated robustness under lossy wireless conditions.”
