Vetted Researchers in the Bay Area

“LLMOps-focused technical leader who took an LLM use case from prototype to production for a non-technical customer by combining trust-building and structured enablement with a robust AWS/Kubernetes-based MLOps stack. Built observability and rollback mechanisms (Grafana + MLflow) to troubleshoot in real time, and scaled delivery by hiring a 5-person team while partnering with sales to manage expectations and drive adoption across departments.”

“Robotics software engineer with Stanford coursework and Georgia Tech research experience, focused on end-to-end autonomy for mobile manipulation and real-time planning under uncertainty. Built a ROS 2 LoCoBot system combining Gemini speech-to-text, YOLO-based RGB-D perception, navigation, and grasping with robust synchronization/TF fixes, and developed an information-theoretic UGV planner for radiological source localization validated via Monte Carlo simulation.”

“Robotics/ML engineer (Stanford project) who built a full Python-based RL grasping pipeline for an anthropomorphic tactile hand in MuJoCo, implementing SAC + behavioral cloning and proposing curriculum experiments; second author on an ICRCA 2026 submission. Hands-on with ROS 2 integration for Flexiv Rizon 4 and LEAP Hand, and uses Docker/Distrobox to manage complex CUDA/OS constraints while running training and production-style inference/retraining workflows.”

“Robotics software engineer/researcher at Stanford PDML Lab building VisualFT, a ROS2-based visual-tactile sensing system for compliant force-control guidance in acupressure/ultrasound-style manipulation. Also interned at Neocis (dental robotics) improving safety-critical collision detection using Bullet Physics with automated validation and CI (Jenkins/CDash).”
