Vetted Machine Learning Engineers

“Built and deployed an LLM-powered mental health therapy assistant at AppHealth that segments users by stress level and delivers personalized, non-medical guidance. Implemented healthcare-focused safety guardrails (secondary LLM output filtering) and a multi-agent router workflow validated via statistical tests and therapist review, then scaled training/inference on AWS (EC2/Lambda/DynamoDB) with Kubernetes.”

“Built and deployed a production LLM-powered support assistant for customer support agents using a RAG architecture over internal docs and past tickets, with human-in-the-loop review. Demonstrates strong applied LLM engineering focused on real-world constraints (hallucinations, latency, cost) using routing to smaller models, reranking, caching, and rigorous evaluation/monitoring (offline eval sets, A/B tests, KPI tracking).”

“Built and deployed a real-time hospital readmission risk prediction system at NYU Langone Health, combining structured EHR data with BERT-based NLP on clinical notes and serving predictions to clinicians via Azure ML and FHIR APIs. Emphasizes production reliability and clinical trust through SHAP-based explainability and robust healthcare data preprocessing, and reports a 22% reduction in 30-day readmissions.”

“ML engineer/data scientist who built and deployed a real-time fraud detection platform at Citi on AWS SageMaker, processing 3M+ daily transactions and improving fraud response by 28%. Combines unsupervised anomaly detection (autoencoders) with ensemble models (XGBoost/Random Forest) plus Airflow/Step Functions orchestration, drift monitoring, and explainability (SHAP) to keep models reliable and compliant in production.”

“Built and deployed a production RAG system for financial/compliance teams using GPT-4, Claude, and local models to retrieve and summarize thousands of internal documents with strong security controls (role-based retrieval, PII masking). Drove significant operational gains (30+ hours/week saved, ~35% productivity lift, ~45% faster responses) and orchestrated end-to-end ingestion/embedding/index refresh pipelines with Airflow, S3, and SageMaker while partnering closely with compliance stakeholders on auditability and traceability.”

“ML/LLM engineer with production experience building a RAG-based LLM support assistant (FastAPI, Redis, Kafka) with multi-layer validation and human-in-the-loop feedback loops to improve accuracy over time. Has orchestration and MLOps depth using Airflow and Kubeflow on Kubernetes (autoscaling, alerting, monitoring) and delivered measurable ops impact (40% ticket efficiency improvement) by partnering closely with customer support teams.”

“ML engineer/data scientist who deployed a production credit risk + insurance claims triage platform at Hartford Financial, combining XGBoost default prediction with BERT-based document classification. Demonstrated strong MLOps by cutting inference latency to sub-500ms and building drift monitoring plus automated retraining/deployment pipelines (MLflow, CloudWatch, GitHub Actions, SageMaker) with human-in-the-loop review and SHAP-based explainability for underwriting adoption.”

“Built an LLM-powered agent within the Nora AI analytics platform to automate e-commerce product performance analysis and generate actionable recommendations (pricing/inventory), designed with production-grade reliability patterns and observability. Emphasizes predictable, schema-validated tool/function-calling pipelines with robust fallbacks, idempotency, and guardrails for messy operational data.”

“Built a production, real-time insurance claims document-understanding and fraud-detection pipeline using TensorFlow + fine-tuned BERT, deployed on AWS (SageMaker/Lambda/API Gateway) with automated retraining via MLflow and Jenkins. Addressed noisy documents and latency using augmentation and model distillation (3x faster), cutting claims ops manual review by ~50% and reducing fraudulent payouts.”

Mid-level AI/ML Engineer specializing in fraud detection and Generative AI (RAG)

USA5y exp

“AI/ML engineer who has shipped production LLM and ML systems, including a RAG pipeline that ingested ~500k insurance/client documents to help adjusters answer questions faster and more consistently. Experienced in handling messy real-world document formats, tuning retrieval/chunking, and reducing latency via vector search optimization, precomputed embeddings, and caching. Also built orchestrated fraud-detection deployment workflows using AWS Step Functions and SageMaker, and partners closely with non-technical operations teams on NLP automation.”

Sai Bandaru

Mid-level Machine Learning Engineer specializing in fraud detection and LLM systems

Boston, MA6y exp

“At FiVerity, built and deployed a production LLM/RAG-based Information Gathering Tool for credit union fraud analysts that generates auditable investigation summaries from verified evidence. Focused on high-stakes constraints—hallucination prevention, cross-entity leakage controls, compliance/PII-safe monitoring, and latency—while also shipping customer-facing agentic workflows using CrewAI and LangGraph in close partnership with fraud and compliance stakeholders.”

“ML/AI engineer with hands-on ownership of fraud detection and investigator-assist systems, combining anomaly detection with RAG-based LLM summarization in production. Stands out for translating research ideas into reliable cloud-deployed workflows that improved precision to 92%, cut review time by 25-30%, and increased investigator throughput by roughly 30% while also building reusable Python infrastructure for team-wide velocity.”

“Built and shipped production AI features for Aiden, including a natural-language agent and a Knowledge Hub ingestion/retrieval system. Stands out for hands-on debugging of real LLM production issues across providers like OpenAI and AWS Bedrock, improving reliability and achieving 90% response/retrieval consistency through direct LiteLLM integration, validation, monitoring, and async system design.”

“Engineer with a mature, agent-oriented approach to AI-driven software development, using structured planning, TDD, and verification loops rather than ad hoc prompting. Has hands-on experience acting as a tech lead for multiple AI agents in an LLM intelligent routing project, coordinating implementation, testing, debugging, and edge-case review with strong attention to system tradeoffs.”

“Built a production GPT-4/LangChain/Pinecone RAG “AI Copilot” at Northern Trust to automate financial report generation and analyst Q&A over internal structured (SQL warehouse) and unstructured policy data. Focused on real-world production challenges—grounding and latency—achieving major speed gains (seconds to milliseconds) via MiniLM embedding optimization and Redis caching, and implemented rigorous testing/evaluation with MLflow-backed metrics while aligning compliance and finance stakeholders for deployment.”

“LLM/agent engineer who built a production multi-agent research automation system using LangGraph (planner, retriever with FAISS, supervisor, evaluator) with structured outputs and citation tracking for traceable reports. Emphasizes reliability and operations—LangSmith-based observability, multi-level testing, hallucination mitigation, and latency/cost controls—plus prior experience as a Computer Vision Software Engineer at Deepsight AI Labs working directly with non-technical customers.”
