Vetted Education Professionals in the San Diego Metro

“Built and deployed an LLM-powered RAG system (PubChemRAG) for a 4D Mitospace project to compare mechanisms across a ~100-drug glossary and surface expected pathway/phenotypic differences in mitochondrial imaging. Worked closely with biochemistry and microscopy experts to design tiered evaluation benchmarks, iterating on prompts, retrieval quality (corpus hygiene, chunking strategy), and model outputs under GPU constraints using LangChain.”

“Robotics software engineer with autonomous driving lab experience at UCSD, building and optimizing ROS2 perception and control pipelines (camera-based real-time object detection) with a strong focus on low-latency performance and robust message interfaces. Also brings production deployment experience from Hewlett Packard Enterprise, using Docker and Kubernetes for containerized environments and deployment pipelines.”

“Robotics software engineer in an Autonomous Vehicle Lab building an end-to-end ROS 2 autonomous golf cart stack (sensor integration, SLAM, planning, and camera+LiDAR perception). Demonstrated strong systems-level debugging by fixing a FastLIO2 LiDAR timestamp/IMU-window issue that restored mapping quality, and stabilized real-time GigE camera perception by diagnosing backpressure and tuning ROS 2 QoS plus compressed transport.”

“Hands-on engineer who has taken an LSTM Bitcoin forecasting model from notebook to a production-grade, monitored API (Docker/Gunicorn/Nginx, Prometheus/Grafana, blue-green rollback) delivering 99.9% availability and ~110–120ms p95 latency. Also built an RFID self-checkout prototype spanning Raspberry Pi + firmware + networking, using deep instrumentation to eliminate double-charges/timeouts (<0.1%) and reduce checkout time ~20% through idempotency, debounce logic, and hardware fixes.”

“Lifelong hockey player turned youth coach who remains deeply embedded in the hockey ecosystem (coaching, stick demos, and maintaining strong coach relationships). Has a practical, multi-step approach to scouting/recruiting youth and junior players—combining film, in-person evaluation, and family/coach relationship-building—while actively learning pathway insights from scouts and agents.”
