Vetted Education Professionals in Indiana

Antara Bhavsar

Screened

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in cloud-native systems and Android development

Bloomington, IN3y exp

“Application-focused software engineer with experience at Amazon and Motorola shipping production systems ranging from developer monitoring/on-call tooling (Alcazar, ~40% MTTR improvement) to consumer AI features used by 100K+ users. Currently building an AI/ML-driven platform with a Python/FastAPI backend on AWS (ECS/RDS/S3) and has handled real production latency/scaling incidents end-to-end.”

“Autonomous robotics student who built an end-to-end ROS2 semantic goal navigation system as a solo course project, integrating CLIP-based vision-language understanding with SLAM Toolbox and Nav2 to execute natural-language commands in Gazebo/RViz. Also implemented and tuned an RRT planner from scratch in Python and uses Docker plus GitHub workflows for reproducible, tested robotics codebases.”

“Robotics software engineer with hands-on experience across reinforcement learning and ROS/ROS2, including a project teaching Boston Dynamics Spot to open a door by combining vision-based pose estimation with SAC-trained IK and a walking policy in MuJoCo. Previously built ROS Noetic control for surgical robots using RCM with MoveIt IK and achieved sub-0.02s latency via threading; also participated in a NASA ROS2 space simulation building rover teleop and sensor-driven mapping.”

“Robotics software engineer with deep ROS2 Humble/Nav2 experience who built an SDF-based navigation system (RRT* global planning + gradient-based local avoidance) and implemented scan-matching localization. Proven real-time performance debugging and optimization on hardware (Unitree B1), including halving compute-cycle latency and resolving ROS2 jitter/message-drop issues through explicit QoS and executor/callback-group design.”

Anirudh Raghavan

Screened

Entry-level Computer Vision/Autonomy Engineer specializing in perception and object detection

West Lafayette, IN0y exp

“Robotics software engineer with hands-on ROS2 + Autoware perception experience, focused on building benchmarking infrastructure for object detection models inside a real-time autonomous driving stack. Strong in evaluation rigor (synchronization, deterministic playback, format standardization) and practical ROS2 debugging/validation workflows using RViz and Gazebo.”

“Robotics/AV engineer with strong ROS2 and autonomy stack integration experience, including bringing Autoware Universe up on a real Lexus autonomous vehicle platform. Also built a hierarchical reinforcement learning proof-of-concept for Boston Dynamics Spot (navigation + manipulation) and tackled sim-to-real challenges by implementing PD torque conversion for Jetson-based hardware; improved localization accuracy via GNSS+EKF fusion with a reported 28% drift reduction.”

“LLM engineer who built a production-style educational questionnaire generation system (MCQs/fill-in-the-blanks/short answers) using Hugging Face models (BERT/T5) and implemented grounding, decoding tuning, and post-generation validation to control hallucinations and quality. Also developed a "tech care" assistant chatbot with a custom Python orchestration/router layer (intent classification, context management, multi-step flows) and a structured testing/evaluation approach including expert review and automated checks.”

Sai Harsha Kurapati

Screened

Mid-level Backend Engineer specializing in distributed systems and industrial IoT

Indianapolis, IN4y exp

“Backend/Python engineer focused on real-time sensor/IoT analytics: built dashboards and a high-throughput ingestion pipeline (MQTT -> Python worker -> TimescaleDB) with buffering, batch inserts, and validation. Strong Kubernetes + GitOps practitioner (Dockerized microservices, HPA, probes, ArgoCD) who has handled production incidents like CrashLoopBackOff under peak load and supported an on-prem analytics migration to AWS using shadow traffic and rollback plans.”

“Built and deployed a production bilingual (Bengali/English) AI virtual assistant that replaced IVR for telecom customer service at massive scale (~15M users), integrating ASR/TTS, Rasa dialogue management, and custom NLP. Overcame low-resource Bengali data and noisy call-center audio with synthetic data augmentation and transformer fine-tuning, achieving significant production gains including ~50% reduction in support calls.”

“Basketball recruiting/scouting professional with experience at Scoutology Sports and M14 Hoops, focused on placing youth athletes into the right exposure events and supporting the recruiting process. Has written 15+ scouting reports that college coaches have reviewed positively, creates highlight tapes and social content, and has helped an athlete gain exposure on the 3SSB circuit (B-Maze Elite).”
