Vetted Machine Learning Engineers in Texas

PremKumar Gandla

Screened

Mid-level AI/ML Engineer specializing in MLOps, NLP, and scalable model deployment

Texas, USA4y exp

“Built and deployed a production autonomous AI data analyst agent (LangChain + GPT + Streamlit on AWS) that turns natural-language questions into validated SQL, visualizations, and insights, cutting manual analysis time by ~50%. Emphasizes reliability and MLOps: schema-aware validation/guardrails to prevent hallucinations, scalable large-data processing, and Azure DevOps CI/CD + MLflow for automated deployment and experiment tracking.”

“LLM/agent builder who shipped a live consumer AI-agent app (kalpa.chat) that visualizes complex reasoning as interactive graphs and abstracts multi-provider model usage via a unified wallet. Professionally has applied LangChain/LangGraph to IVR parsing and to scaling a football video-generation pipeline at DAZN, including shipping a VAR-specific retrieval/order fix via SQL after iterating with a non-technical PM.”

Snehitha Penumaka

Mid-level AI/ML Engineer specializing in predictive modeling and cloud ML pipelines

Dallas, TX3y exp

“LLM engineer/data engineer who has deployed production RAG systems for internal-document Q&A, building end-to-end ingestion, embedding, vector search, and FastAPI serving while actively reducing hallucinations and latency through rigorous retrieval tuning and caching. Also experienced in orchestrating cloud data pipelines (Airflow, AWS Glue, Azure Data Factory) and partnering with non-technical business teams to deliver AI solutions like automated document review.”

“ML/AI engineer who built and productionized an NLP system at PurevisitX, orchestrating end-to-end ML workflows with Airflow (S3 ingestion through auto-retraining) and optimizing for drift and low-latency inference. Also partnered with Citibank risk teams on a fraud detection model, translating results via dashboards and iterating thresholds based on stakeholder feedback.”

“Healthcare AI/ML engineer with Epic experience who built and deployed a HIPAA-compliant GPT-4 RAG clinical assistant over large medical document sets, emphasizing privacy controls and low-latency performance. Also automated end-to-end retraining and deployment of patient risk models using orchestration/CI-CD (Jenkins, SageMaker, MLflow), cutting deployment time from hours to minutes while improving reliability.”

“ML/MLOps practitioner from Discover Financial who built and deployed a real-time AI fraud detection platform (LSTM + VAE) on AWS SageMaker with Docker/FastAPI and Jenkins-driven CI/CD. Demonstrated measurable impact (30% accuracy lift, 25% fewer false alerts) and deep expertise in class-imbalance mitigation, drift monitoring, and orchestration (Airflow/Kubeflow), plus strong stakeholder adoption via Power BI dashboards for fraud/compliance teams.”

“Built and shipped a production agentic LLM analytics platform that lets non-SQL business users query relational databases in plain English via a RAG + LangChain/LangGraph workflow and FastAPI service. Emphasizes safety and reliability with guardrails (validation/access control), testing/evaluation frameworks, and performance optimization (caching, monitoring, Dockerized scalable deployment), reducing dependency on data teams and speeding analytics turnaround.”

“Built and shipped a production RAG assistant using GPT-4, LangChain, and Pinecone/FAISS to search 50K+ institutional documents, with a strong focus on groundedness and hallucination reduction through retrieval optimization and re-ranking. Pairs this with a metrics-driven evaluation/monitoring approach (BLEU/ROUGE, manual sampling, logging) and workflow automation via Airflow, and has experience translating stakeholder needs into iterative AI prototypes.”

Ponugoti Sushma

Screened

Mid-level Machine Learning Engineer specializing in IoT, edge AI, and enterprise ML

Texas, USA5y exp

“Built and productionized an LLM/RAG question-answering service over technical documentation, focusing on retrieval quality (reranking + IR metrics), latency, and scaling. Experienced orchestrating end-to-end ETL/ML workflows with Airflow/Prefect/AWS Step Functions and improving reliability via parallelism, retries, and shadow testing. Also delivered an explainable healthcare risk-flagging classifier with a stakeholder-friendly dashboard for a non-technical program manager.”

Saketh Kota

Screened

Mid-level Data Scientist / ML Engineer specializing in Generative AI, RAG, and MLOps

Irving, TX4y exp

“Built and productionized a RAG-based LLM research assistant for biomedical and regulatory document search using Mixtral 7B on SageMaker, LangChain, and Milvus, cutting research time by ~40%. Has hands-on multi-cloud MLOps experience across AWS/Azure/GCP with Kubeflow/Airflow/Composer plus Terraform + ArgoCD, and applies rigorous evaluation/monitoring (latency, accuracy, hallucinations). Also partnered with a non-technical PM to deliver an insurance policy Q&A chatbot that reduced customer response time by 30%+.”
