Vetted Research Assistants

“Backend/ML engineer focused on clinical AI transparency who built ShifaMind, an explainability-enforced clinical ML system using UMLS/MIMIC-IV/PubMed data with RAG, GraphSAGE, and cross-attention. Demonstrated strong production engineering via FastAPI API design and safe migrations (feature flags/shadow inference), plus HIPAA-aligned auth/RLS patterns; also delivered a real-time comet detection system reaching 97.7% accuracy.”

“Built a production Apple-focused LLM Q&A bot that answers user issues using similar past discussion records, including large-scale scraping and cleaning of thousands of forum threads. Used BeautifulSoup + Playwright for static/dynamic extraction, PySpark + NLP for preprocessing, and LangChain RAG with a custom response-likeliness metric to evaluate performance.”

“Backend/Python engineer focused on real-time sensor/IoT analytics: built dashboards and a high-throughput ingestion pipeline (MQTT -> Python worker -> TimescaleDB) with buffering, batch inserts, and validation. Strong Kubernetes + GitOps practitioner (Dockerized microservices, HPA, probes, ArgoCD) who has handled production incidents like CrashLoopBackOff under peak load and supported an on-prem analytics migration to AWS using shadow traffic and rollback plans.”

“Built and productionized a domain-specific LLM-powered RAG knowledge assistant at JerseyStem for answering questions over large internal document corpora, owning the full stack from FAISS retrieval and LoRA/QLoRA fine-tuning to AWS autoscaling GPU deployment. Drove measurable gains (28% accuracy lift, 25% latency reduction) and improved reliability through hybrid retrieval, grounded decoding, preference-model reranking, and Airflow-orchestrated pipelines (35% faster runtime), while partnering closely with non-technical stakeholders to define success metrics and ensure adoption.”

“Frontend-leaning engineer with strong React/Next.js (App Router + TypeScript) experience who has handled complex migrations (Pages to App Router) and performance-focused SSR work in a real estate inventory product. Also built regulated banking workflows (credit card disputes) using XState for correctness and implemented BullMQ/Redis queueing plus observability dashboards; background spans banking, academia, and NGOs, emphasizing scrappy delivery under constraints.”
