Vetted Machine Learning Engineers in Texas

Pavan Punna

Screened

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

Dallas, TX5y exp

“Built and owned a production GPT-4 RAG assistant for clinical and enterprise query resolution, taking it from initial experiment to deployment, monitoring, and iterative improvement. Their work cut resolution time from 45 minutes to under 2 minutes, achieved roughly 95% accuracy, and scaled to thousands of additional monthly queries while emphasizing safety and trust in a sensitive clinical domain.”

“Built and owned an enterprise LLM/RAG document intelligence platform for PNC Financial Services in a compliance-heavy environment, focused on grounded answers over internal finance and policy documents. Stands out for combining GenAI product delivery with production engineering discipline, delivering 60% faster document review and materially better answer quality while creating reusable FastAPI-based AI services for multiple teams.”

“Verizon engineer who productionized an LLM-based personalization capability for a customer-facing digital platform, owning the path from success metrics through scalable APIs, A/B validation, and post-launch monitoring (latency/accuracy/drift). Experienced in diagnosing and fixing real-time LLM/RAG workflow issues under peak load, and in enabling adoption via tailored technical demos/workshops and sales support materials.”

“AI/ML engineer with healthcare domain depth who led a HIPAA-compliant, production LLM system at McKesson to automate clinical document understanding—extracting entities, summarizing provider notes, and supporting authorization decisions. Hands-on across Spark/Python ETL, Hugging Face + LoRA/QLoRA fine-tuning, RAG, and cloud-native MLOps (Airflow/Kubernetes/Step Functions, MLflow, blue-green on EKS/GKE), with explicit work on PHI handling and hallucination reduction.”

Senior ML Engineer & Data Scientist specializing in LLM agents, retrieval/ranking, and MLOps

Denton, TX8y exp

“Machine Learning Engineer currently at Webster Bank building an enterprise-scale LLM agent for Temenos Journey Manager/Maestro, using RAG-style multi-stage retrieval with FAISS/Pinecone, hybrid dense+sparse search, and LoRA fine-tuning optimized via NDCG/MAP and A/B testing. Previously handled messy incident/telemetry data at Deuta Werke GmbH with deterministic + fuzzy entity resolution, and has strong production data engineering experience across Spark/Hadoop and Python ETL systems.”

“At KPMG, built and productionized a secure RAG-based LLM assistant that lets business and risk stakeholders query data warehouses in natural language, reducing dependence on data engineers for ad-hoc analysis. Demonstrates strong production rigor (Airflow orchestration, CI/CD, containerization), retrieval/embedding tuning (rechunking, semantic abstraction for structured data), and reliability controls (confidence thresholds, refusal behavior, monitoring and canary evals).”

“Built production LLM systems including a real-time customer feedback analysis and workflow automation platform using RAG and multi-agent orchestration with confidence-based human escalation, addressing privacy and legacy integration challenges. Also automated ML operations with Airflow/Kubernetes (e.g., daily churn model retraining) cutting retraining time to under 30 minutes, and demonstrates a rigorous testing/monitoring approach plus strong non-technical stakeholder collaboration.”

“AI Engineer with hands-on ownership of a production multi-agent RAG platform in financial services, spanning experimentation, architecture, deployment, monitoring, and iterative optimization. Stands out for measurable impact: 35% retrieval relevance improvement and nearly 50% reduction in manual operational analysis effort, plus strong experience making enterprise LLM systems safer and more reliable in production.”

“Master’s-in-Data-Science candidate (UHV) with 4+ years in AI engineering building production LLM and multimodal systems. Designed an LLM-powered workflow automation platform using RAG over vector stores with guardrails (schema/output validation, fallbacks) and a rigorous evaluation/monitoring framework including drift tracking and shadow deployments. Experienced orchestrating large-scale vision-language pipelines with Airflow and Kubernetes (OCR, distributed training) and partnering with non-technical ops stakeholders to cut cycle time and reduce errors.”

“ML/LLM engineer at Charles Schwab who built a production loan-advisor chatbot integrated with internal knowledge and loan-calculator APIs, adding strict numeric validation to prevent rate hallucinations and optimizing context to control costs. Also runs ~40 Airflow DAGs orchestrating retraining/ETL/drift monitoring with an automated Snowflake→SageMaker→auto-deploy pipeline, and uses rigorous testing plus canary rollouts tied to business metrics and compliance constraints.”

Junior Machine Learning Engineer specializing in GPU-accelerated computer vision

College Station, TX5y exp

“Robotics software lead from Texas A&M Aggie Robotics who built WoopLib, a SLAM-based vision/navigation library using PID pure pursuit. Has hands-on ROS/ROS2 and Jetson Nano experience integrating Intel RealSense (T265/D435i) with wheel odometry for accurate state estimation, including compiling deprecated sensor support from source and optimizing by moving to Python with C++ bindings and serial streaming to a microcontroller.”

“Built and deployed an agentic RAG assistant in production to automate enterprise knowledge search and multi-step workflows with tool calling, tackling real-world issues like hallucinations, retrieval accuracy, and latency. Demonstrates strong LLMOps and orchestration depth (MLflow, Airflow, LangGraph/LangChain/LlamaIndex) plus a metrics-driven approach to agent testing/evaluation and cross-functional delivery with business stakeholders.”

Sriram Degala

Screened

Senior AI/ML Engineer specializing in healthcare and finance AI

Dallas, TX4y exp

“Built production-grade medical AI systems at MD Anderson, including an end-to-end RAG chatbot used by clinical researchers for real-time drug interaction and trial literature queries. Stands out for combining healthcare domain knowledge with strong MLOps, evaluation, and safety practices, and for delivering measurable gains in latency, retrieval precision, and team adoption.”

Sowmya Medabalimi

Screened

Junior AI/ML Engineer specializing in generative AI and FinTech

Denton, TX3y exp

“Product-minded engineer/designer with hands-on experience shipping AI-powered web experiences, including a financial assistant at Intuit, a document verification platform at Mphasis, and a healthcare companion chatbot. Stands out for combining UX design, frontend implementation, and retrieval/LLM backend work to turn ambiguous AI concepts into simple, production-oriented user experiences.”
