Irving, TX2y exp

“Backend/applied AI engineer from Cloud Rack Systems who built production GenAI/RAG and data platforms on Azure/Databricks at enterprise scale (2.5M records/day). Known for making LLM systems behave like deterministic services via strict retrieval contracts, citation-based validation, and strong observability—shipping a knowledge assistant used daily by 50+ users while driving hallucinations near zero and materially improving latency and cost.”

“Backend engineer specializing in event-driven/serverless systems and Python/FastAPI APIs. Built a scalable PDF-to-structured-data pipeline on AWS (S3, Lambda, Step Functions, Textract, DynamoDB, SNS) with strong observability (p50/p90/p99) and reliability patterns (idempotency, retries/DLQs), and has led zero-downtime migrations using feature flags, dual writes, and incremental rollouts.”

“Built and deployed a production RAG-based multilingual analytics assistant for healthcare operations, enabling non-technical teams to query claims/EHR and risk metrics with grounded explanations. Demonstrates strong end-to-end LLM system engineering (retrieval tuning, re-ranking, hallucination controls, verification layers) plus workflow orchestration (Airflow/Composer/Step Functions) and stakeholder-driven iteration via prototypes and dashboards.”

“Software/product engineer who owns customer-facing internal platforms end-to-end, with deep experience building data pipeline health and data quality tooling (near-real-time alerting and ops dashboards). Strong in React/TypeScript + Python REST architectures and microservices with RabbitMQ, emphasizing reliability patterns (idempotency, DLQs, correlation IDs) and fast, safe iteration via feature flags, testing, and observability.”

“Built and deployed a production generative-AI copilot at Tungsten that automates invoice/form extraction template creation, reducing weeks of manual model-building work. Combines fine-tuned LLMs (PyTorch/HuggingFace) with OpenCV layout grounding to reduce hallucinations, and runs an end-to-end Kubeflow-based MLOps pipeline with drift monitoring, canary releases, and automated retraining.”

“Software engineer with hands-on experience spanning backend APIs, streaming data systems, and cloud/infrastructure automation, who is already using agentic AI workflows in a disciplined way. Stands out for combining practical systems work in Spring Boot, Kafka/Spark/ClickHouse, and Terraform/Kubernetes with a thoughtful approach to AI oversight, architecture, and multi-agent orchestration.”

“AI/backend engineer who independently built and operated an agentic telecom analytics system end-to-end, using LangGraph and Claude to turn natural language into safe SQL in a regulated environment. He combines startup-speed execution with compliance-minded rigor, citing 95%+ NL-to-SQL accuracy, a 30-minute-to-2-minute workflow improvement, and zero-findings support across three regulatory audit cycles.”

“Senior backend/data engineer who has built and maintained HIPAA-compliant, real-time clinical FastAPI services on AWS, orchestrating ML/LLM and vector DB calls with strong reliability patterns (auth, timeouts/retries, graceful degradation, idempotency). Also delivered AWS IaC/CI-CD (Terraform/Helm/GitHub Actions) across EKS/Lambda/SageMaker and built Glue/Spark ETL with schema evolution and data quality controls, plus demonstrated large SQL performance wins (15 min to <9 sec) and hands-on incident ownership.”

“Built an end-to-end agentic population health strategy copilot for healthcare leadership, turning broad chronic disease questions into structured, evidence-backed strategy briefs. Stands out for combining healthcare domain knowledge with production-grade GenAI implementation, including LangGraph orchestration, Databricks/MLflow deployment, human review, and quality gates focused on citations, metrics, risks, and safety.”

“Built a production multi-agent RAG assistant using LangChain/LangGraph with OpenAI embeddings and FAISS, focusing on retrieval quality and latency (Redis caching, parallel retrieval, precomputed embeddings). Experienced orchestrating ETL/ML pipelines with Airflow and Databricks Workflows, and has delivered an AI assistant for business ops to extract insights from policy/compliance documents through close non-technical stakeholder collaboration.”
