“Built and deployed an AI tutoring assistant end-to-end at Nexora School, spanning discovery with school districts, multi-agent LangGraph/RAG architecture, AWS Bedrock migration, and post-launch stabilization. Stands out for combining hands-on LLM systems engineering with strong educator-facing trust building, FERPA-driven architecture decisions, and disciplined production practices around evals, logging, and messy document ingestion.”

“Built and operated AI backend systems at DevFortress and CodeAtlas, including an AI calendar agent used by around 5,000 users and a GitHub repo analysis workflow powered by LLMs. Stands out for owning the full lifecycle of retrieval-based AI products, improving intent detection by ~25%, and bringing a strong reliability mindset through observability, evals, and incident prevention.”

“Built and deployed production NLP/LLM systems including a multilingual (5-language) health misinformation detection pipeline with latency optimization (batching/quantization/caching) and explainability (gradient-based attention visualizations). Experienced orchestrating end-to-end AI workflows with Airflow and Prefect, and partnering with customer support ops to deliver an AI agent for ticket summarization and priority classification with clear, measurable acceptance criteria.”

“Cloud/distributed-systems engineer who has shipped real-time, offline-capable ledger/expense infrastructure and solved tricky cross-layer production bugs (carrier handoff retries causing duplicate writes) using packet captures and device logs. Also built modular Python ETL/catalog pipelines for e-commerce with config-toggled plugins for customer-specific pricing/SKU rules, and iterated product changes directly with on-site fulfillment operators using feature flags.”

“Robotics/AV-focused candidate who contributed to an F1TENTH autonomous vehicle college project, building key autonomy components from raw sensor data to driving commands. Strong in perception and state estimation (visual odometry, particle-filter localization), plus mapping (occupancy grids) and planning/control (RRT, Gap Follow, PID), with hands-on ROS tooling and simulation validation in Gazebo/RViz and ROS environment containerization using Docker.”

Junior Machine Learning Engineer specializing in multimodal systems and LLMs

Jersey City, NJ2y exp

“Built and productionized a domain-specific LLM-powered RAG knowledge assistant at JerseyStem for answering questions over large internal document corpora, owning the full stack from FAISS retrieval and LoRA/QLoRA fine-tuning to AWS autoscaling GPU deployment. Drove measurable gains (28% accuracy lift, 25% latency reduction) and improved reliability through hybrid retrieval, grounded decoding, preference-model reranking, and Airflow-orchestrated pipelines (35% faster runtime), while partnering closely with non-technical stakeholders to define success metrics and ensure adoption.”
