KS

Mid-level AI/ML Engineer specializing in LLMs, RAG, and MLOps

CA, USA4y exp
AnthropicCalifornia State University, Long Beach

ML/LLM engineer who built a production RAG system (GPT-4 + FAISS + FastAPI) to deliver fast, grounded answers from proprietary documents, optimizing for sub-200ms latency and high-concurrency scale. Strong MLOps/observability background: drift monitoring with Prometheus + Streamlit, automated retraining via Airflow, Kubernetes autoscaling, and MLflow-managed model lifecycle, plus inference cost reduction through quantization and structured pruning.

Rhutwij Tulankar

Screened ReferencesStrong rec.

Engineering Manager and ML/Data Architect specializing in scalable data platforms and personalization

San Francisco, CA11y exp
RecruiticsRochester Institute of Technology

Hands-on engineering manager at a marketing company leading a highly senior, distributed team (10 direct reports) while personally coding ~60–70% and owning end-to-end architecture across three interconnected products. Built agentic CRM automation and a reinforcement-learning-driven distribution layer for channel spend/bidding, with a strong focus on scalable design and observability (Prometheus/APM/logging) enabling frequent releases and few production incidents.

GK

Mid-level AI/ML Engineer specializing in LLMs, RAG, and multimodal deep learning

San Francisco, CA5y exp
MetaUniversity of Central Missouri

ML/LLM engineer who has built and productionized a large multimodal LLM pipeline end-to-end—fine-tuning a 20B+ parameter model with distributed/FSDP training and deploying on Kubernetes via Triton for ~5x throughput. Strong focus on reliability and safety (monitoring with SHAP, guardrails, A/B testing) with reported ~22% relevance lift and reduced harmful/incorrect outputs, plus experience orchestrating ETL/retraining workflows with Airflow across S3/Snowflake/RDS.

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).

Mid-level Machine Learning Engineer specializing in fraud detection and real-time personalization

San Francisco, CA6y exp
StripeUniversity of Tampa

ML/LLM engineer with Stripe and Adobe experience who productionized a transformer-based Payments Foundation Model for real-time fraud detection at global scale (billions of transactions). Built petabyte-scale ETL/feature pipelines (Spark/EMR, Airflow, dbt, Kafka/Flink) and achieved <100ms multi-region inference (EKS, TorchServe, edge/Lambda, GPU/CPU routing) with strong PCI-DSS/GDPR compliance and explainability (SHAP/LIME), reporting a 64% fraud accuracy improvement.
