Vetted AI & Machine Learning Professionals in New Jersey

“Backend/data engineer focused on production ML/LLM systems: built a real-time FastAPI inference API on Kubernetes with strong reliability patterns (timeouts, idempotent retries, centralized error handling). Delivered AWS platforms using EKS + Lambda with GitHub Actions/Helm CI/CD and built Glue-based ETL from S3/Kafka into Snowflake with schema evolution and data-quality controls; also modernized legacy analytics/recommendation workflows into Python services with safe, feature-flagged cutovers.”

“Python backend engineer focused on high-throughput document/PDF processing systems, building end-to-end pipelines that extract structured content for downstream NLP use cases. Demonstrates strong practical MLOps-adjacent infrastructure skills: Kubernetes deployments, GitLab CI, GitOps workflows, and an incremental migration to AWS using EC2/Lambda tradeoffs. Deep hands-on optimization experience (selective OCR, layout-aware extraction, parallelism, caching, idempotency, and backpressure/autoscaling).”

“Robotics engineer who worked on a lunar rover program, building a simulation environment that mirrored real hardware interfaces and incorporated moon-terrain slip/friction modeling validated against a physical “moon yard.” Also integrated an ML-based munition X-ray inspection system via REST APIs, deploying and scaling inference on Azure with Kubernetes plus Prometheus monitoring, load balancing, and self-healing reliability mechanisms.”

Mid-level AI/ML Engineer specializing in MLOps, LLMs, and scalable ML systems

Harrison, NJ4y exp

“ML/LLM engineer at Adobe who deployed a transformer-based personalization and campaign-targeting recommender system end-to-end, including PySpark/Airflow pipelines processing 12M+ events/day and containerized inference on AWS SageMaker (Docker/Kubernetes). Also has hands-on LLM workflow experience (RAG, semantic search, prompt optimization, hallucination mitigation) with a metrics-driven approach to reliability, drift monitoring, and reproducible retraining via MLflow.”

“Built and shipped a production enterprise RAG knowledge assistant that returns grounded, cited answers and uses confidence-based fallbacks (clarifying questions/abstention) with monitoring and compliance controls for sensitive data. Implemented end-to-end agent orchestration (function calling, structured JSON, state, retries/rate limits) plus eval/feedback loops, and achieved a reported 30–40% improvement in knowledge-task completion time while reducing hallucinations via retrieval improvements.”

“GenAI/LLM engineer who architected and deployed a production RAG “research assistant” for JPMorgan Chase’s regulatory compliance team, focused on safety-critical behavior (mandatory citations, refusal when evidence is missing). Deep hands-on experience with LlamaIndex, Pinecone, Hugging Face embeddings, LangGraph agent workflows, and metric-driven evaluation (golden sets, TruLens), including a reported 28% relevancy lift via cross-encoder re-ranking.”

“Built and deployed a production LLM/RAG chatbot at Wells Fargo for securely querying regulated financial and compliance documents, emphasizing low hallucination rates, explainability, and strict governance. Experienced with LangChain multi-agent orchestration plus Airflow/Prefect pipelines for ingestion, embeddings, evaluation, and retraining, and partnered closely with compliance/operations to drive adoption through demos and feedback-driven retrieval rules.”

“Red Hat ML/LLM engineer who designed and deployed a production LLM-powered customer support automation system using RAG, improving latency by 30% via PEFT and vector search optimization. Built security and governance into retrieval (access-level filtering, encrypted Pinecone/ChromaDB) and delivered SHAP-based explainability via a dashboard for non-technical stakeholders. Experienced orchestrating distributed ML/RAG pipelines across AWS SageMaker and OpenShift with Airflow/Prefect, plus multi-agent workflows using CrewAI and LangGraph.”
