Vetted Artificial Intelligence Professionals

“Built and shipped a production agentic LLM tool that helps internal teams update technical product whitepapers using plain-language edit requests, with strong guardrails (citations, verification, refusal/clarify flows) to reduce hallucinations and maintain compliance. Experienced taking LLM workflows from rapid LangChain prototypes to more predictable, debuggable LangGraph agent graphs, and orchestrating end-to-end ingestion/embedding/indexing/eval/deploy pipelines with Kubeflow.”

“Backend/data engineer focused on production ML/LLM systems: built a real-time FastAPI inference API on Kubernetes with strong reliability patterns (timeouts, idempotent retries, centralized error handling). Delivered AWS platforms using EKS + Lambda with GitHub Actions/Helm CI/CD and built Glue-based ETL from S3/Kafka into Snowflake with schema evolution and data-quality controls; also modernized legacy analytics/recommendation workflows into Python services with safe, feature-flagged cutovers.”

“Robotics software engineer with hands-on experience building a vision-guided grasping pipeline on a 7-DOF Franka arm, implementing gradient-based IK with null-space optimization and RRT* motion planning in ROS1. Strong in sim-to-real deployment and real-world debugging—addressed frame misalignment via hand-eye calibration and centralized TF configuration, and reduced replanning/jitter by tuning a weighted pose filter using rosbag replay and variance/grasp-time metrics. Also built an ESP32-based mobile robot architecture combining embedded decision-tree control with WiFi/web high-level commands.”

“Engineering leader (Director of Development) with hands-on cloud and product experience who builds business-aligned technology roadmaps and scales teams. Delivered an enterprise cloud-migration enabler at UHG by implementing AD authentication and Terraform-based IaC for custom VM images while meeting 90-day InfoSec patch/rotation requirements, and drove a 20% lift in user consumption/retention by designing an interactive branded media portal experience for Sunkist.”

“Product-focused operator with ~20 years experience helping both large companies and newer market entrants launch successful products, with a strong emphasis on disciplined product-market fit in emerging markets. Has personal investing exposure as an LP in two private funds and is researching seed-stage angel investing, and is motivated to found a consumer/software venture built with lean execution and clear defensibility.”

“Led an end-to-end regional sourcing strategy at AMAT for consumables and high-value critical parts, including risk/mitigation planning, cross-functional execution, and executive-level reporting. Successfully influenced internal business unit leaders to shift procurement away from captive suppliers by validating and improving regional supplier capability and reliability, while building a repeatable playbook for the team.”

“Senior data/AI and platform leader with Walmart- and T-Mobile-scale architecture experience, including building real-time inventory + forecasting platforms (Kafka/Cassandra/Hadoop) and Azure IoT systems. Known for translating board-level business goals into roadmaps that deliver measurable impact (e.g., $50M savings and $250M profit in a year; +2% conversion via Customer 360) and for hands-on problem solving in ML/forecasting (feature reduction and LASSO).”

“Built and deployed a healthcare NLP application that used an LLM-style physician interface feeding a random forest model to predict treatment plans for hard-to-triage patient subgroups, backed by a Databricks medallion pipeline and heavy feature engineering to address missing/low-integrity data across ~50K patients. Also delivered an earlier Microsoft AI Builder automation that improved transportation bill payment workflows by training non-technical payroll/procurement teams to use automated outstanding-payables reporting.”

“Engineering leader with experience building point-of-care diagnostics platforms (IoT-connected PCR device delivering results in <15 minutes) and scaling multidisciplinary teams (55+). Has led major data/IoT architecture decisions (multi-cluster Kubernetes with secure routing; Kafka + Gobblin over MQTT) and runs execution with Agile roadmaps tightly aligned to GTM and senior leadership.”

“Graphics software engineer with academic robotics/HRI experience at Oregon State University under Dr. Heather Knight, leading a ROS+Python physical robot and Unity/C# VR system to study how motion/texture/collisions are perceived in VR (2 papers + thesis). Also built ROS-based Wizard-of-Oz TurtleBot study systems and multi-robot coordination experiments, plus industry experience with Docker/Kubeflow ML tooling and Azure DevOps CI/CD automation.”

“ML/NLP engineer with experience building production-grade legal-tech and data platforms, including a GPT-4/LangChain contract review system using ElasticSearch embeddings (RAG) deployed on AWS EKS. Strong in entity resolution and scalable batch/streaming pipelines (Kafka/Spark), with measurable impact (70%+ reduction in contract review time) and a focus on monitoring and CI/CD for reliable delivery.”

“Engineering leader in cloud security at SysTech with player-coach experience spanning cross-team data/ownership standardization and reporting platform user-journey improvements. Stays technically deep through observability (SLA/SLOs, dashboards, alerting), rigorous code reviews (including AI-assisted coding), and end-to-end incident ownership in IAM/agentless cloud event collection. Targeting $270K–$300K base plus bonus/equity.”

“Fractional CTO supporting early-stage teams in the UAE and Ukraine to build platforms using an "Agentic OS" approach—one focused on reducing friction across patient/provider/payor engagement and another on enforcing transparency for international rebuilding investments to reduce fraud. Also exploring an alternative-energy feedstock plantation opportunity in Armenia with multi-industry downstream revenue potential; has created project-specific investor pitch decks and is actively engaging potential investors.”
