Vetted AI & Machine Learning Professionals in Ohio

“At Evoke Tech, built a production LLM "Testbench" to quickly compare LLMs/embedding models and RAG strategies (semantic, hybrid BM25, re-ranking, HyDE, query expansion) to select optimal architectures for different client needs. Also developed a multi-agent, multimodal (voice/text) RAG system for live catalog retrieval and safe product recommendations using LangGraph/LangChain with LangSmith monitoring, and regularly translated PM/UX goals into concrete agent behaviors via demos and flowcharts.”

“Backend/ML engineer who has shipped high-scale real-time systems across e-commerce and healthcare: built a PharmEasy real-time recommendation engine for ~2M monthly users (cut feature latency 5 min→30 sec; +15% cross-sell) and architected a HIPAA-compliant multimodal clinical diagnostic workflow (DICOM+EHR) with XAI, MLOps (MLflow/Airflow/K8s), and drift/monitoring guardrails supporting 10k+ daily predictions.”

“Built an LLM-powered academic research assistant for a professor (LangChain + OpenAI + arXiv) focused on synthesizing papers quickly, with emphasis on reliability (ReAct prompting, citation verification) and cost control (caching). Has production MLOps/orchestration experience at Cisco and HCL Tech using Kubernetes, plus MLflow and GitHub Actions for lifecycle management and CI/CD.”

“AI/ML engineer at MRI Software focused on taking LLM and RAG systems from prototype to reliable production. Notable work includes an AI automation system for migrating 1200+ legacy pages with 75-80% manual effort reduction, plus enterprise document-querying and reusable Python LLM infrastructure that cut lookup time by 70% and improved team velocity by 30-40%.”

“ML/LLM engineer with production experience at General Motors building Transformer-based search and recommendation personalization for a high-traffic vehicle platform. Delivered significant KPI gains (17% conversion lift, 14% bounce-rate reduction) and optimized real-time inference via ONNX Runtime and INT8 quantization while implementing robust MLOps (Airflow/MLflow, monitoring, drift-triggered retraining) and stakeholder-facing explainability/dashboards.”

Ohio, USA4y exp

“Deployed a real-time LLM-driven call center summarization and agent-assist platform at Fifth Third Bank, combining transformer models (BERT/GPT) with FastAPI inference on AKS and vector storage (ChromaDB/PostgreSQL). Emphasizes production-grade reliability (autoscaling, CI/CD, monitoring) and measurable evaluation (A/B testing), and translates model outputs into business-facing Power BI insights for call center leadership.”
