Intern Data Scientist specializing in ML engineering and LLM agentic workflows

San Francisco, CA6y exp

“Built an agentic, multi-step LLM system that generates full-stack code for API integrations using LangChain orchestration, Pinecone/SentenceBERT RAG, and a human-in-the-loop feedback loop for iterative code refinement. Also collaborated with non-technical content writers and PMs during a Contentstack internship to deliver a Slack-based AI workflow that generates and brand-checks articles with one-click approvals.”

“ML/AI engineer with hands-on ownership of production recommendation and RAG systems at Northern Trust. They combine transformer modeling, latency optimization, cloud deployment, and monitoring with measurable business impact, including 14% accuracy gains, 12% engagement improvement, and 19% better query relevance.”

“Built end-to-end ML and GenAI systems at Northern Trust, including a production RAG-based document intelligence platform for financial reports and contracts. Stands out for combining strong MLOps execution with practical product judgment—improving forecast accuracy by 22%, document review accuracy by 38%, and cutting deployment time by 45% while keeping latency and reliability production-ready.”

Principal Software Engineer specializing in MongoDB and Java platforms

San Mateo, CA10y exp

“Government and defense software architect with a track record of building mission-critical systems from prototype to long-lived production. Most notably designed Banyan at Fort Meade, a federated SOA platform that achieved 99.9999 uptime and handled 3.2 million daily queries, and later built SBOM automation at Lockheed Martin that was contributed back to the CycloneDX open source ecosystem.”

“Built production AI systems for Macy's and Bloomingdale's, including an embeddings-based pipeline to clean trending search queries and an end-to-end 'Ask Macy's' multi-agent chat experience. Brings hands-on experience with real-world agent orchestration, tool integration, quality evaluation, and business-facing safeguards in a large-scale e-commerce environment.”

“Full-stack and AI product engineer with strong AWS/Snowflake experience who built an internal feature flag platform and helped migrate a cybersecurity insights product into a multi-agent AI chat interface. They report production scale of 1M+ embeddings and 50k+ monthly queries, with outcomes including an 80% reduction in analyst work and dashboard generation in 7 minutes; the work was also featured by Claude and AWS.”

“LLM/agentic systems engineer who built a production "Agentic AI Diagnostic Assistant" for network engineers, using a multi-agent Llama 2 + LangChain architecture with RAG over telemetry/incident data in DynamoDB and confidence-based deferrals to reduce hallucinations. Also has strong MLOps/orchestration experience (Airflow, EventBridge, Spark, Docker, SageMaker/ECS) at multi-terabyte/day scale and delivered multilingual NLP analytics (fine-tuned BERT/spaCy) for support operations through hands-on stakeholder workshops.”

“GenAI/LLM engineer who recently built a production compliance assistant at State Farm for KYC/AML and regulatory teams, using AWS Bedrock + LangChain with Textract/Lambda pipelines to extract fields, tag risk, and summarize long documents. Implemented RAG, strict structured outputs, and human-in-the-loop guardrails, and reports automating ~80% of documentation work while reducing review time by ~40%.”

“ML/NLP practitioner focused on financial-services document intelligence and compliance workflows—built an end-to-end pipeline to classify documents and extract financial entities from loan applications, emails, and statements stored in S3/internal databases. Strong in entity resolution/record linkage and in productionizing pipelines with GitHub Actions CI/CD, testing, data validation, and Docker, plus semantic search using OpenAI embeddings and a vector database.”

Mid-Level Software Engineer specializing in data engineering and cloud platforms

Bentonville, AR3y exp

“Backend-leaning full-stack engineer who has shipped production-critical data/reporting features at Walmart and built an end-to-end workflow automation product (FastAPI + React/TypeScript + PostgreSQL) deployed on AWS. Strong in performance/reliability engineering (parallel ETL, batch DB operations, indexing via EXPLAIN ANALYZE), secure API design (JWT/RBAC), and pragmatic incident-driven scaling (separating workers from API layer).”

Mid-level Data Analyst specializing in analytics, ETL, and cloud data platforms

Jersey City, NJ4y exp

“Data analyst with 4 years of experience spanning banking and retail/marketing analytics. Has hands-on experience building churn analytics pipelines in SQL and Python, optimizing large-query performance, and turning stakeholder-aligned metrics into recurring dashboards and business actions.”

“Analytics professional with hands-on experience building SQL/Python pipelines, customer ID mapping logic, and self-serve BI dashboards across marketing/CRM and regulated aviation reporting environments. Particularly strong in turning messy multi-source data into trusted reporting assets, with repeated claims of major efficiency gains, faster decision-making, and high-confidence stakeholder adoption.”

“Full-stack engineer with hands-on experience building real-time operational products across banking, insurance, and startup e-commerce environments. They’ve owned features end-to-end—from React/TypeScript dashboards and Redux performance tuning to Spring Boot, Kafka, AWS Lambda, and production monitoring—and have also shipped 0→1 capabilities where business impact was immediate, such as reducing overselling through inventory visibility.”

Lokesh Jain

Senior AI/ML Engineer specializing in supply chain and healthcare systems

Bentonville, AR6y exp

“Built and deployed AcademiQ Ai, a production LLM-based teaching assistant using GPT/BERT with RAG (LangChain + Pinecone) to handle large student notes and generate adaptive explanations/quizzes. Demonstrated measurable retrieval-quality gains (18% precision improvement, 22% less irrelevant context) by tuning similarity thresholds and chunking based on user satisfaction signals. Also orchestrated terabyte-scale, real-time demand forecasting pipelines using Airflow and Kubeflow on GCP with strong monitoring, shadow deployment, and feedback-loop practices.”
