“ML/LLM engineer who built and shipped an LLM-powered internal knowledge assistant at Meta, focusing on production-grade RAG to reduce hallucinations and improve trust. Deep experience with scaling and serving (FSDP/DeepSpeed/LoRA, Triton, Kubernetes autoscaling) and reliability practices (Airflow retraining, MLflow versioning, monitoring with rollback), including sub-100ms latency and ~35% GPU memory reduction.”

“Backend/data engineer with production experience at Uber building a near real-time driver rewards service on AWS (FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Redis) with strong reliability and concurrency controls. Also delivered AWS Lambda/ECS containerized deployments with GitHub Actions CI/CD and cost governance, built AWS Glue ETL with schema-evolution handling, and drove a ~10x SQL performance improvement while owning incident response via CloudWatch.”

“Engineering/tech leader with experience spanning major platforms (mentions Microsoft and AWS) and leading ML-driven product architecture (ranking systems). Describes driving a shift to a layered, API-standardized service architecture (including vector database components) that materially increased delivery speed (weeks to hours) while improving scalability and security, and emphasizes rigorous execution reviews (QDR/OKRs) plus transparent remote-team operating rhythms.”

“Entrepreneurial healthcare operator currently serving as investor, co-founder, and COO of Mednevo, a startup combining AI with physician oversight rather than replacing doctors. Brings experience from 8 startups, prior capital raising, and a practical approach to healthcare AI trust, including doctor-controlled AI shutoff, HIPAA-minded compliance, and physician validation of LLM outputs.”
