Vetted Machine Learning Engineers in the DMV

“GenAI engineer who has deployed production LLM/RAG chatbots for internal document search, focusing on reliability (hallucination reduction via prompt guardrails + retrieval filtering) and performance (latency improvements via caching). Experienced with LangChain/LangGraph orchestration for multi-step agent workflows and iterates using monitoring/logs and benchmark-driven evaluation while partnering closely with product and business teams.”

“New-grad robotics software engineer with hands-on ROS 2 autonomy experience (Nav2, SLAM Toolbox, AMCL) and a strong track record debugging real-world instability (QoS, lifecycle timing, sensor dropouts). Built an HRI speech system on a Stretch 3 robot with deterministic, context-aware templates to manipulate trust/competence/emotion conditions, and integrated an LLM high-level planner that outputs PDDL for classical task planning and replanning.”

“LLM/agentic systems engineer who built a production "Agentic AI Diagnostic Assistant" for network engineers, using a multi-agent Llama 2 + LangChain architecture with RAG over telemetry/incident data in DynamoDB and confidence-based deferrals to reduce hallucinations. Also has strong MLOps/orchestration experience (Airflow, EventBridge, Spark, Docker, SageMaker/ECS) at multi-terabyte/day scale and delivered multilingual NLP analytics (fine-tuned BERT/spaCy) for support operations through hands-on stakeholder workshops.”

“ML/AI engineer with production experience in high-scale banking fraud detection at Truist, building an end-to-end pipeline (Airflow/AWS Glue/Snowflake, PyTorch/sklearn) with automated retraining and Kubernetes-based deployment; delivered measurable gains (22% fewer false positives, 15% higher recall) and reduced manual ops ~40%. Also partnered with clinicians at Kellton to deploy an LLM system for summarizing/classifying clinical notes, improving review time and decision speed.”

“Backend engineer who built an AI-driven "Smart Feedback Analyzer" API (Flask → FastAPI) that processes user feedback with NLP (Hugging Face + OpenAI) and returns structured insights. Demonstrates strong production-minded architecture: stateless services, Cloud Run + Docker deployment, Redis/Celery background processing, and Postgres/SQLAlchemy performance tuning (EXPLAIN ANALYZE, indexing, N+1 fixes), plus multi-tenant data isolation via JWT/API-key derived tenant IDs.”
