“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 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.”

“Full-stack engineer from seed-stage Violet Labs who owned an end-to-end production "compare push results" feature for external integrations, including solving tricky false-positive success cases by validating against internal entity hashes and confirmed integration events. Experienced building React/TypeScript SPAs with a Node + Postgres backend, deploying via AWS/Kubernetes, and setting up CloudWatch logging/metrics/alarms with SNS paging.”

“Software engineer with connected-car/automotive production experience who owned an end-to-end remote door lock/unlock feature and introduced unit testing (GTest) plus rig/simulator validation. Also built and productionized an AI-native AWS cloud cost assistant (Lex + GPT-based LLM + Lambda + RAG/vector DB) with guardrails and achieved 94% evaluation accuracy. Helped replace a third-party solution with an in-house build, saving the company ~€9M.”

“Gameplay engineer with hands-on ownership of real-time C++/UE5 systems, including an end-to-end ability system and a networked dash feature using client prediction and server reconciliation. Strong in performance profiling/optimization (object pooling, collision-check gating) and applied math for projectile motion validated via debug visualization and QA/playtesting; particularly interested in soccer/football gameplay mechanics and feel.”

“Built and shipped an AI-powered driver ranking/assignment system at AffirmoAI using LLM intent classification + RAG over pgvector/Postgres, served via FastAPI with a React UI that explains scores. Drove measurable improvements through optimization and iteration (latency down to <800ms, adoption 60%→90%+) and implemented rigorous eval loops with dispatcher ground truth plus cold-start handling for new drivers.”
