Vetted AI & Machine Learning Professionals in the Greater Seattle

“LLM/Conversational AI engineer who built a production multi-turn dialogue system using LoRA fine-tuning on LLaMA, cutting training compute/memory by 90%+ while maintaining low-latency inference via quantization and streaming generation. Experienced in orchestrating end-to-end ML workflows with Prefect/Airflow/Kubeflow (including hyperparameter sweeps and W&B tracking) and improving agent reliability through benchmark-driven testing, shadow-mode rollouts, and stakeholder-informed guardrails.”

“Full-stack engineer at Bank of America who built and iterated a real-time transaction monitoring/fraud detection system processing 50K+ daily transactions, improving latency (25%), dashboard performance (30%), and reducing manual investigation time (40%) while meeting PCI DSS via OAuth2 and RBAC. Also built a scalable ETL pipeline for messy financial data with strong reliability/observability (ELK, retries, DLQ), boosting data integrity from 87% to 99% and sustaining 99.8% uptime.”

“Hands-on LLM practitioner who built a production document-processing pipeline in Python, tackling long-document handling and latency with chunking/batching and a user-driven correction feedback loop. Experienced operationalizing AI workflows with Kubernetes (CronJobs, autoscaling, scheduled data cleaning and weekly retraining) and applying structured testing/evaluation (E2E, LLM-as-judge, HITL) while communicating solutions clearly to non-technical clients using visual diagrams.”

“ML/LLM practitioner with experience at Truveta building an LLM-based evaluation framework; identified non-overlapping evaluator failure modes and proposed an ensemble approach that enabled scaling training data and drove ~5% performance gains across multiple internal projects. Strong focus on robustness to distribution shift (augmentation/domain adaptation/meta-learning) and production reliability via monitoring, drift detection, and safe fallbacks.”

“Embedded C++ engineer with Bosch automotive infotainment experience, owning real-time audio middleware modules with strict latency/memory constraints. Strong in profiling/optimizing deterministic behavior, debugging hardware-specific intermittent issues, and building automated test + CI pipelines; currently ramping up on ROS2 concepts (DDS, nodes/topics/services) to transition toward robotics.”

“Internship experience building a production RAG+LLM pipeline to map messy card transaction descriptions to merchant brands, including a custom modified-ROUGE evaluation approach for weak/variant ground truth. Improved scalability and cost by moving from a managed LLM endpoint (e.g., Bedrock) to self-hosted vLLM, and orchestrated massive embedding backfills (5,000+ files, 10B+ rows) using an Airflow-triggered SQS + ECS worker architecture with robust retry/DLQ handling.”

“AI engineer who shipped a production chat assistant for a storage company by building the underlying RAG-style knowledge base (document ingestion, chunking/embeddings, FAISS vector store) and an admin update interface to keep content current. Also has full-stack delivery experience (Python REST APIs + React/TypeScript UI) and AWS operations using Terraform/Jenkins, including handling a real production performance incident by optimizing DB queries and adding auto-scaling.”
