Vetted Research Assistants in California

“Spatial computing software engineer focused on making Apple Vision Pro/visionOS accessible, including building VoiceOver and Live Captions features. Debugged a complex Live Captions issue involving dual audio inputs during FaceTime screen sharing by leveraging iOS implementation docs and creating concurrent audio sources; also has safety-critical testing experience from train control systems and is interested in pivoting into robotics.”

Intern Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in web apps and AI systems

Mountain View, CA0y exp

“Product/UX designer who builds end-to-end systems across both consumer wellness and industrial/technical domains. Designed BloomPath (mental-wellness platform for therapists and young professionals) using research-driven, emotionally safe interaction patterns, and also simplified a Bosch autonomous parking vision-language mapping pipeline into a developer-facing real-time UI with layered debug tooling. Comfortable collaborating deeply with engineers and contributing in React/JS.”

“Built and productionized a dual-agent LLM invoice-processing system for GFI Partners, adding guardrails and audit trails to earn stakeholder trust and drive adoption while cutting operational burden by 75%. Uses LangSmith observability to diagnose real-time workflow regressions and has experience teaching agentic AI concepts (e.g., at Carnegie Mellon) through hands-on, scaffolded demos.”

Junior Digital Marketing Specialist specializing in social media growth and performance marketing

Los Angeles, CA2y exp

“Growth-creative marketer with hands-on paid social and short-form video experience across restaurant and beauty (Tom Ford Beauty).

Senior Data Scientist specializing in computer vision and medical imaging

San Diego, CA4y exp

“Built and deployed an LLM-powered RAG system (PubChemRAG) for a 4D Mitospace project to compare mechanisms across a ~100-drug glossary and surface expected pathway/phenotypic differences in mitochondrial imaging. Worked closely with biochemistry and microscopy experts to design tiered evaluation benchmarks, iterating on prompts, retrieval quality (corpus hygiene, chunking strategy), and model outputs under GPU constraints using LangChain.”

“Built and owned an end-to-end VR surfing simulator in Unity/C#, integrating Arduino inputs, external tracking, and a motion platform with multisensory feedback. Deep focus on VR comfort and control stability (PD control, quaternion-based orientation, latency/jitter mitigation) validated via IMU measurements and 200+ user studies, plus some Unreal gameplay framework and replication/prediction experience.”
