Vetted Education Professionals in the DMV

“Internship project at Builder Market: built an end-to-end production multimodal LLM application that estimates renovation/replacement costs from appliance photos (CLIP embeddings) or text descriptions, combining fine-tuning with agentic RAG. Focused heavily on real-world performance constraints—latency and cost—using parallel agent workflows, model routing to smaller/open-source models, re-ranking, and retrieval chunking, and collaborated closely with CEO/co-founders to deliver the solution.”

Director-level Sports & Youth Development Leader specializing in athletic program operations

Baltimore, MD6y exp

“Former Division III college football coach with extensive experience supporting collegiate and professional athletes, including work with Under Armour athletes (e.g., Kelsey Plum, Steph Curry) and Baltimore Ravens player engagement. While not hockey-specific, they emphasize end-to-end athlete guidance (goal-setting, transparency, family support) plus social media/profile-building to increase athlete visibility.”

“Hands-on backend engineer with practical experience improving latency in Django-based API systems by fixing missing indexes and eliminating N+1 queries. Also built an AI scheduling system using FastAPI, a relational database, AI/ML workflows, and an operational reporting dashboard, with a clear bias toward correctness and maintainable architecture.”

Junior Software Engineer specializing in full-stack web and systems programming

Washington, DC3y exp

“Junior engineer who built a novel, highly-performant database explorer at Electric Capital: a TypeScript/React UI backed by Zig-compiled WebAssembly that loads data locally for fast filtering/sorting and responsive lazy loading, with CI/CD and Cloudflare-based auth. Also led graphics work on a WebGPU browser game engine capstone, creating TypeScript abstractions over WGSL/shader and GPU buffer complexity to accelerate teammates.”
