Vetted AI & Machine Learning Professionals in Washington

“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.”

Intern Software Engineer specializing in LLM agents and full-stack development

Seattle, USA1y exp

“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.”

Divyam Agrawal

Mid-level Machine Learning Engineer specializing in LLMs and NLP classification systems

Seattle, WA4y exp

“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.”

“Analytics-focused candidate with hands-on experience using SQL and Python to clean messy business data, automate reporting, and build practical customer analytics solutions. Notable examples include a 70% reduction in reporting time through Python-based Excel automation at Shell and stakeholder-friendly retention/RFM segmentation work for small business clients in freight and winery contexts.”

Shweta Gupta

Screened

Senior Backend Software Engineer specializing in Java microservices, Kafka, and AWS

Seattle, WA6y exp

“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.”

Devin Jackson

Screened

Mid-level Gameplay AI Engineer specializing in Unreal Engine

Vancouver, WA4y exp

“UE5 gameplay/system designer with an engineering background who has shipped player-facing systems including an enemy weak-point feature (with replication and performance fixes) and a modular spectator minigame framework for Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game. Also implemented lobby mode and disconnect team-balancing (AI backfill) for Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, leveraging profiling/debug tooling and cross-discipline collaboration to get features to shipping quality.”

“Built and deployed NeuroDoc, a production-grade RAG system for PDF Q&A that delivers citation-backed answers with strong anti-hallucination guardrails. Experienced in orchestrating and scaling ML/LLM pipelines with Kubernetes, Airflow/Prefect, and PyTorch Distributed, and in building rigorous evaluation and citation-verification tooling to ensure reliability in production.”

“AI engineer at Cleveland Clinic building production LLM/NLP systems for radiology documentation, focused on HIPAA-aware, real-time performance across ~298 campuses. Re-architected infrastructure with AWS event-driven services to handle scaling and improved SLA compliance ~40%, and complements this with a personal multi-agent debate system (CrewAI) using local Llama/Mistral plus rigorous evaluation (A/B tests, red teaming, observability).”

“ML/AI engineer with strong healthcare insurance domain depth who has owned fraud detection and LLM claims products end-to-end in production. Stands out for combining modern MLOps and RAG architecture with measurable business impact, including millions in fraud savings, 40% faster analysis, and reusable platform tooling that accelerated multiple teams.”
