“NLP/ML engineer with hands-on healthcare and support-ticket text experience, building clinical-note structuring and semantic linking systems using spaCy, BERT clinical embeddings, and FAISS. Emphasizes production-grade delivery (Airflow/Databricks, PySpark, Docker, AWS/FastAPI/Lambda) and rigorous validation via clinician-labeled datasets, retrieval metrics, and user feedback.”

“ML/NLP practitioner with healthcare payer experience at HCSC, focused on connecting messy unstructured clinical notes to structured claims/provider data to improve fraud-analytics workflows. Has hands-on experience fine-tuning transformers in AWS SageMaker, building large-scale embedding search with FAISS, and implementing robust entity resolution using golden datasets, precision/recall calibration, and production monitoring for drift.”

“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.”

“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.”
