Vetted AI & Machine Learning Professionals in Michigan

“Built and productionized a telecom-focused RAG assistant by LoRA fine-tuning LLaMA-2 and integrating LangChain+FAISS behind a FastAPI service, with dashboards and a human feedback UI for engineers. Demonstrated measurable impact (≈40% faster document lookup, +8–10% retrieval precision) and strong MLOps rigor via Airflow orchestration, CI/CD, and monitoring for drift and failures.”

Mid-level AI/ML Engineer specializing in Generative AI, NLP, and Computer Vision

Grand Rapids, MI4y exp

“Built an LLM-powered learning assistant (EduQuizPro/EduCrest Pro) that uses RAG over URLs and PDFs to generate quizzes, notes, and explanations for students/professors. Emphasizes production robustness—implemented dependency fallbacks (FAISS/Sentence Transformers/Gradio), CLI-safe mode, and NumPy-based indexing—along with a custom orchestration layer to keep multi-step AI workflows reliable.”

Senior Controls & Localization Engineer specializing in autonomy, sensor fusion, and MPC

Troy, Michigan12y exp

“Robotics software engineer focused on state estimation and localization reliability, with deep hands-on EKF tuning/validation using DGPS ground truth and integrity-risk-based uncertainty calibration. Built middleware-agnostic interfaces with ROS wrappers to enable repeatable ROS bag playback testing, and implemented CI at Caterpillar to automatically build the localization stack and run unit tests plus bag-based regressions before merge.”

“Built a production internal LLM-powered knowledge assistant using a RAG architecture (Python, LLM APIs, cloud services) that answers employee questions with sourced, grounded responses from internal documents. Demonstrates strong practical depth in retrieval tuning (chunking/metadata filters), orchestration with LangChain, and production reliability practices (latency optimization, automated embedding refresh, evaluation metrics, logging/monitoring) while partnering closely with non-technical operations teams.”

“ML/NLP practitioner who built a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) system for large financial and operational document sets using Sentence-Transformers (all-mpnet-base-v2) and a vector DB (e.g., Pinecone), with a strong focus on retrieval evaluation and chunking strategy optimization. Experienced in entity resolution (rules + embedding similarity with type-specific thresholds) and in productionizing scalable Python data workflows using Airflow/Dagster and Spark.”

SREEJA REDDY Konda

Mid-level AI/ML Engineer specializing in NLP, MLOps, and predictive analytics

Kentwood, MI6y exp

“AI/ML Engineer at Fifth Third Bank who has shipped production fraud detection and risk analysis systems combining ML models with LLM-powered insights/explanations, including real-time monitoring, drift detection, and automated retraining under regulatory explainability constraints. Also built a hybrid-retrieval internal knowledge-base QA system (+20% top-5 relevance) and delivered a customer support chatbot that reduced first response time by 30% through strong stakeholder collaboration.”

“Full-stack engineer with strong ownership in fast-moving environments: designed and shipped a pre-order/campaign inventory system (NestJS + Strapi + Datadog) that freed 34% warehouse space and reduced stock risk to ~5.7%. Also built rapid, high-impact logistics features (Spot Sales) that drove last-mile cost to ~0 in ~40 days, and has hands-on AWS/Terraform/CI-CD experience including deploying a global RAG system with Pinecone, Datadog, and PagerDuty.”

Mid-level AI/ML Engineer specializing in NLP, fraud detection, and MLOps

Kentwood, MI3y exp

“Built and deployed a domain-specific LLM chatbot for research/support, cutting manual effort by ~50%. Demonstrates strong applied LLM engineering: RAG, prompt grounding with citations and fallbacks, embedding/top-k tuning, and production monitoring (confidence, latency, feedback loops). Experienced orchestrating agent workflows with LangChain-style pipelines and continuous evaluation to maintain reliability.”
