Vetted Education Professionals in the Atlanta Metro

“LLM/multimodal systems builder who developed DuetGen, a practical multimodal interleaved text-image generation system using a decoupled MLLM planner and video-pretrained diffusion transformer for high-quality image generation with step-wise alignment. Built a 298K-sample interleaved dataset across 8 domains/151 subtasks and deployed a GPT-5-based automated evaluation framework; also has LangChain-based multimodal agent orchestration experience with custom state management and reliability testing.”

“Robotics software candidate with hands-on experience building controllers for an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, including dual-PID control in Python with state-space modeling and a planned path to LQR. Developed ROS nodes for odometry-based localization, waypoint planning, and control command publishing, validated through a custom Gazebo/ROS simulation workflow with control-metric-driven testing. Also worked on F1Tenth simulation and scan-matching localization (PL-ICP), with additional cloud deployment experience using Docker/Kubernetes and CI/CD.”

“Robotics/ML engineer with hands-on experience building multimodal waypoint prediction for autonomous driving using CLIP + LidarCLIP embeddings and PyTorch, including nuScenes data pipelines and baseline modeling. Also built ROS 2 nodes for TurtleBot maze navigation with an image-classification pipeline, and has Caterpillar experience doing dSPACE HIL testing with MATLAB/Simulink plant models for engine software validation.”

Junior AI/ML Engineer specializing in production LLM systems and RAG

Atlanta, GA2y exp

“LLM/document AI engineer who owned a production-grade contract extraction pipeline at CORAMA.AI, ingesting PDFs and dynamic JavaScript sites from 1,000+ government sources. Built a hybrid deterministic+LLM system with two-phase prompting, Pydantic guardrails, confidence scoring, and human-in-the-loop review—cutting error rates from ~35% to <5% and processing 50k+ documents at ~95% accuracy. Also built clinician-in-the-loop orchestration in research, reducing manual labeling time from 3–4 hours to ~50 minutes.”

“Graduate robotics researcher (Georgia Tech/Georgia Tech Research Institute) who helped modernize the Georgia Tech Robotarium by migrating its comms stack from MQTT to ROS2 across MATLAB/Python and updating embedded Teensy firmware for new sensors. Currently validating ToF distance sensors and integrating IMUs, with planned GTSAM factor-graph SLAM sensor fusion; also debugged and improved a decentralized coverage-control algorithm at swarm scale (1000–2000 agents) using computational geometry and literature-backed methods.”

“Backend/AI engineer who has built an offline, citation-grounded RAG system end-to-end with hybrid retrieval, local LLM inference, and quantitative evaluation via RAGAS. Also brings real-time systems experience from an Airbnb-like booking platform and data pipeline/ML quality work from a Bilibili internship, with a strong emphasis on reliability, privacy, and measurable correctness.”

“LLM/agent engineer who shipped a production RAG-based recommendation + explanation system that replaced a traditional recommender stack, delivering ~20% CTR lift (and +8% after a reliability iteration) with strong cold-start performance. Demonstrates strong production rigor: schema-constrained generation, typed tool calling, explicit state/orchestration, deep monitoring/feedback loops, and safe integration with messy ERP inventory/order data using normalization, idempotency, and conflict-resolution guardrails.”

Mid-level Robotics Software Engineer specializing in multi-robot control and automation

Atlanta, GA4y exp

“Robotics software engineer with ~7 years of ROS/ROS2 experience spanning dual-arm metal additive manufacturing and prior work on the DARPA Subterranean Challenge. Developed in-house multi-arm collision/trajectory planning and achieved a major calibration improvement (from ~6 cm error to ~0.5 mm) via ICP point-cloud registration, with strong simulation/digital-twin, SLAM, and deployment (Docker/CI/CD) exposure.”

Junior HR analytics and business student specializing in people data and strategy

Atlanta, GA3y exp

“Early-career candidate and current college senior who serves as a TA for an entrepreneurship class, where they teach structured outbound sales methods. While they lack direct sales-role experience, they demonstrate unusually strong conceptual knowledge of cold calling, stakeholder mapping, qualification, and data-driven messaging optimization, plus hands-on performance marketing experience from running a social media account.”
