Seattle, Washington, USA21y exp

“Healthcare-focused founder in the R&D stage building an EHR and clinical staffing startup centered on value-based care. They have already tested the concept with the market, are engaging Medicaid/Medicare leaders and industry conferences like ViVE and HIMSS, and are focused on early-signal detection to improve patient outcomes while lowering utilization costs.”

“Built and deployed a production RAG-based internal knowledge assistant that let analysts query company documents in natural language, using LangChain/LangGraph with Pinecone and a FastAPI service for integration. Emphasizes reliability in production through hallucination mitigation (retrieval tuning + prompt guardrails) and measurable evaluation/monitoring (accuracy, latency, task completion, hallucination rate), iterating based on user feedback.”

“Customer-facing technical professional with experience supporting LLM/agentic-style workflows and complex integrated systems (APIs, backend logic, databases). Partnered with sales/customer teams at Radix Health to onboard new clients in phased prototypes, translating non-technical requirements into technical scope and implementing core product changes to tailor the appointment-booking solution for providers.”

“ML/GenAI engineer with recent CVS Health experience building a production RAG system over unstructured financial/research documents using LangChain, FAISS, and Pinecone, plus LoRA/PEFT fine-tuning of GPT/LLaMA for domain-aware summarization. Demonstrates strong applied MLOps and data engineering skills (Airflow/Prefect, Docker/Kubernetes, CI/CD, MLflow) and measurable impact (sub-second retrieval, ~40% better context retrieval, ~25% entity matching improvement).”
