Vetted Education Professionals

“Built and productionized a real-time social-media sentiment analysis system used by a marketing team to monitor brand/campaign performance. Experienced in orchestrating LLM workflows with LangChain (validation → prompting → parsing → post-processing), plus monitoring, retraining, and RAG-style retrieval using embeddings/vector stores to keep outputs reliable over time.”

“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.”

“Backend/integration-focused software engineer who built and debugged a complex location modeling system (data pipelines, APIs, optimization logic connected to a dashboard). No direct ROS/robotics experience yet, but demonstrates strong distributed-systems debugging, containerized deployment (Docker), and CI/CD/testing practices and is actively looking to pivot into robotics software.”

“Full-stack developer who owned and shipped an end-to-end web application for LeafNBeyond (React/Node/Postgres), deployed to production at leafnbeyond.com, with reported 35% sales growth and strong UX feedback. Also built Azure-based ETL pipelines using lakehouse/medallion architecture with validation and retry logic, and has AWS fundamentals from a master’s coursework (EC2, RDS, IAM, load balancing).”

“Robotics software engineer who built an assistive Kinova Gen3 manipulation system for activities of daily living, spanning RealSense+ArUco perception, MoveIt2-based motion planning/task sequencing, and a React Native tablet UI with rosbridge and voice control. Optimized real-robot trajectories by blending OMPL with Cartesian/PILZ planning and created simulation workflows to test without lab/robot availability.”

“Robotics software engineer with ROS 2 Humble/Nav2 experience on a warehouse robot fleet, focused on improving throughput in dynamic human environments. Implemented C++ local-planner and velocity-control changes using LiDAR-based motion prediction and real-time costmap tuning under a 20ms control loop, and built a Gazebo digital twin with custom failure-injection plugins plus Docker/Kubernetes deployment tooling.”

“Internship-built full-stack systems spanning HR employee-record portals and internal data-quality dashboards (Flask + SQL + React), emphasizing data integrity and rapid MVP iteration. Also implemented Flask microservices with RabbitMQ for distributed task processing, addressing duplication/ordering issues with idempotency, durable queues, and correlation-ID logging; delivered quantified productivity gains for HR teams.”

“Master’s thesis focused on building and deploying a gait-based biometric authentication system using mobile accelerometer time-series data as an alternative to passwords/2FA. Emphasized real-world robustness by addressing sensor noise and variability (phone placement, walking speed, footwear) and improving safety using biometric metrics like FAR/FRR and EER, while collaborating closely with a non-ML thesis advisor.”

“Python backend developer from Larix Technologies who built and scaled microservice APIs for an omnichannel messaging SaaS (WhatsApp/Instagram/Facebook) and led production performance fixes during peak traffic, cutting webhook latency ~50%. Also shipped applied AI products end-to-end: a RAG-based PDF assistant (LangChain + Mixtral via Groq + React) and a BI agent that plans/executes/verifies multi-step analytics with strong guardrails and auditability.”
