TC

Mid-level Data Scientist specializing in recommender systems, NLP, and real-time ML pipelines

CA, USA5y exp
MetaUniversity at Albany

AI/LLM engineer who built and productionized an internal RAG-based knowledge system that ingests diverse sources (PDFs, Markdown, Slack), scaled retrieval with distributed FAISS and parallel ingestion, and reduced hallucinations via re-ranking, grounding prompts, and post-generation validation. Also has hands-on orchestration experience with Airflow and Kubernetes for reliable ETL/model pipelines, monitoring, and staged rollouts; reports ~15% accuracy improvement and adoption as the primary internal knowledge tool.

Veer Arora

Screened

Junior Data Scientist specializing in ML, NLP, and healthcare analytics

Pleasanton, CA2y exp
Kaiser PermanenteUC Berkeley

Built and deployed a healthcare NLP application that used an LLM-style physician interface feeding a random forest model to predict treatment plans for hard-to-triage patient subgroups, backed by a Databricks medallion pipeline and heavy feature engineering to address missing/low-integrity data across ~50K patients. Also delivered an earlier Microsoft AI Builder automation that improved transportation bill payment workflows by training non-technical payroll/procurement teams to use automated outstanding-payables reporting.

Senior Generative AI Implementation Consultant specializing in RAG and agentic AI on cloud

Bay Area, CA3y exp
CapgeminiDuke University

LLM/RAG practitioner who built an AWS-based enterprise document search and summarization platform with RBAC and scaled it to 10K+ users, solving relevance issues via contextual chunking and hybrid retrieval. Also designed agentic workflows for a telecom forecast-validation use case using sub-agents, tool APIs, and strict context management, and has proven pre-sales influence (supported a $300K manufacturing deal with a roadmap-driven pitch).

Mayuna Gupta

Screened

Senior Data Scientist specializing in computer vision and medical imaging

San Diego, CA4y exp
Schoeneberg LabUC San Diego

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.
