“Backend engineer with insurance/claims domain experience who modernized legacy claims processing systems to support AI-assisted claim review. Emphasizes production-ready API design in Python/FastAPI (schemas, async, caching, graceful degradation), strong observability with Prometheus, and layered security including JWT auth plus database row-level security (Supabase/Postgres).”

“Cloud/ML engineer with production deployment experience on Azure (Dockerized models, managed APIs, data pipelines) who has repeatedly stabilized unreliable systems—e.g., taking an API-driven analytics pipeline from ~60% to 98% reliability and an Azure ML service from ~80% to 97% by addressing rate limits, container memory, and gateway timeouts. Also built an explainable contract-risk model for entertainment bookings (Transformers + SHAP) and integrated it into a legacy booking system via a Flask REST API, plus prior IoT work at Nissan processing CAN bus sensor streams for diagnostics/anomaly insights.”

“At FiVerity, built and deployed a production LLM/RAG-based Information Gathering Tool for credit union fraud analysts that generates auditable investigation summaries from verified evidence. Focused on high-stakes constraints—hallucination prevention, cross-entity leakage controls, compliance/PII-safe monitoring, and latency—while also shipping customer-facing agentic workflows using CrewAI and LangGraph in close partnership with fraud and compliance stakeholders.”

“Built and deployed a production LLM-powered support assistant for customer support agents using a RAG architecture over internal docs and past tickets, with human-in-the-loop review. Demonstrates strong applied LLM engineering focused on real-world constraints (hallucinations, latency, cost) using routing to smaller models, reranking, caching, and rigorous evaluation/monitoring (offline eval sets, A/B tests, KPI tracking).”

“Built and deployed a real-time hospital readmission risk prediction system at NYU Langone Health, combining structured EHR data with BERT-based NLP on clinical notes and serving predictions to clinicians via Azure ML and FHIR APIs. Emphasizes production reliability and clinical trust through SHAP-based explainability and robust healthcare data preprocessing, and reports a 22% reduction in 30-day readmissions.”

“AI/ML Engineer at Fifth Third Bank who has shipped production fraud detection and risk analysis systems combining ML models with LLM-powered insights/explanations, including real-time monitoring, drift detection, and automated retraining under regulatory explainability constraints. Also built a hybrid-retrieval internal knowledge-base QA system (+20% top-5 relevance) and delivered a customer support chatbot that reduced first response time by 30% through strong stakeholder collaboration.”

“ML engineer/data scientist who built and deployed a real-time fraud detection platform at Citi on AWS SageMaker, processing 3M+ daily transactions and improving fraud response by 28%. Combines unsupervised anomaly detection (autoencoders) with ensemble models (XGBoost/Random Forest) plus Airflow/Step Functions orchestration, drift monitoring, and explainability (SHAP) to keep models reliable and compliant in production.”

“Built and deployed a RAG-based student/faculty support chatbot at a university that answers from official syllabus/policy documents and now supports 4,000+ students while reducing repetitive support requests. Hands-on with LangChain, LangGraph, and CrewAI to orchestrate reliable agentic workflows, with a strong focus on testing/monitoring in production and cross-functional delivery (e.g., marketing analytics automation at Steve Madden).”

“Built and deployed a production LLM-powered phone assistant for a healthcare clinic, combining streaming STT/TTS with RAG over approved clinic documents and strict safety guardrails to prevent unverified medical advice, plus seamless human handoff. Also has hands-on Apache Airflow experience building robust daily ML/data pipelines with data validation, retries/timeouts, monitoring, and metric-gated model deployment, and iterates closely with clinic staff using real call reviews.”

“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.”

“Built a production, real-time insurance claims document-understanding and fraud-detection pipeline using TensorFlow + fine-tuned BERT, deployed on AWS (SageMaker/Lambda/API Gateway) with automated retraining via MLflow and Jenkins. Addressed noisy documents and latency using augmentation and model distillation (3x faster), cutting claims ops manual review by ~50% and reducing fraudulent payouts.”

“Built a production GPT-4/LangChain/Pinecone RAG “AI Copilot” at Northern Trust to automate financial report generation and analyst Q&A over internal structured (SQL warehouse) and unstructured policy data. Focused on real-world production challenges—grounding and latency—achieving major speed gains (seconds to milliseconds) via MiniLM embedding optimization and Redis caching, and implemented rigorous testing/evaluation with MLflow-backed metrics while aligning compliance and finance stakeholders for deployment.”

“Built and deployed a production LLM/RAG system at CVS to automate clinical documents, addressing PHI compliance, retrieval accuracy, and latency; achieved a 35–40% reduction in review effort through chunking and FP16/INT8 optimization. Also has experience translating AI outputs into actionable insights for non-technical stakeholders (sports analysts).”

“ML/NLP engineer with hands-on experience building production systems for unstructured insurance claims and customer data linking. Delivered measurable impact at scale (millions of documents), combining transformer-based NLP, vector search (FAISS/Pinecone), and human-in-the-loop validation, and has strong production workflow/observability practices (Airflow, AWS Batch, Grafana/Prometheus).”

“AI/LLM engineer at Humana who built and deployed a HIPAA-aware RAG system for clinical record retrieval, cutting search time dramatically and improving retrieval efficiency by 30%. Experienced with Spark-scale data preprocessing, QLoRA fine-tuning, LangChain orchestration, and MLflow+SageMaker integration, with a strong testing/evaluation discipline (A/B tests, human eval) to hit 95%+ accuracy and production latency targets.”

“GenAI/LLM engineer who built and deployed a production RAG system for enterprise document search and decision support, cutting manual lookup time by 40%+.
