Vetted CUDA Professionals

“Robotics software engineer with UC Irvine capstone experience building an autonomous rover end-to-end: ROS 2 navigation (slam_toolbox + Nav2) on Jetson Xavier, depth point-cloud integration for obstacle avoidance, and an on-device speech-to-action interface that converts natural language into Nav2 goals. Also has prior full-time experience integrating a safety assurance decision engine into distributed autonomous drones over secured mesh networks, emphasizing reliable communication under real-world network constraints.”

“Robotics software engineer who owned the end-to-end navigation stack for a mobile manipulation robot (Cone-E), integrating ZED-2i SLAM into a real-time occupancy grid with live obstacle avoidance, A* planning, and lookahead control. Strong in real-time debugging and stability improvements (goal snapping/locking, obstacle persistence, rate-limited replanning) and validates changes on hardware, supported by simulation (Gazebo/Webots) and Docker/CI-based testing.”

“Computer-vision-focused candidate with internship experience at ASML (Silicon Valley) building object detection models (YOLO, RT-DETR) for SEM defect inspection. Worked end-to-end on preparing multi-resolution datasets and tuning/training strategies, noting improved performance on low-quality images when training jointly on higher-resolution data.”

“Software engineer with hands-on experience building a distributed ticketing system on AWS (Terraform, Go, MySQL) focused on high-concurrency reliability (locks/queues to prevent duplicate ticket confirmations) and load-tested performance. Also independently owned and shipped an Airflow automation script to stop/restart workflows during deployments with email notifications, reducing manual operational effort.”

Junior AI & ML Engineer specializing in agentic systems and full-stack AI products

San Francisco, CA2y exp

“Won a machine learning contest and was placed onto a Kaiser data science team, where they built ML models for hospital bottleneck prediction and resource allocation. They later built and deployed a full-stack LLM-based “data analyst agent” (with custom orchestration plus LangChain/OpenAI Agents experience) that generates analysis code, answers questions, and produces dashboards from uploaded datasets, emphasizing rigorous evaluation sets, robustness, and healthcare security/compliance integration.”

Mid-level Machine Learning Engineer specializing in GPU-accelerated LLMs and MLOps

GA, USA4y exp

“Built and deployed a production LLM-powered decision-support system for supply-chain planners that explains demand forecast changes using grounded retrieval from sales, promotion, inventory, and supplier data. Implemented strict anti-hallucination guardrails and latency optimizations, deployed as a real-time AWS API with monitoring, and reported ~15% forecast accuracy improvement and ~12% supply-chain risk reduction. Experienced orchestrating data/ML/LLM workflows with Airflow, LangChain/LangGraph-style patterns, and AWS Step Functions while partnering closely with non-technical business users via demos and example-based requirements.”

Senior Controls & Localization Engineer specializing in autonomy, sensor fusion, and MPC

Troy, Michigan12y exp

“Robotics software engineer focused on state estimation and localization reliability, with deep hands-on EKF tuning/validation using DGPS ground truth and integrity-risk-based uncertainty calibration. Built middleware-agnostic interfaces with ROS wrappers to enable repeatable ROS bag playback testing, and implemented CI at Caterpillar to automatically build the localization stack and run unit tests plus bag-based regressions before merge.”

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in cloud data platforms and LLM applications

New York, USA4y exp

“LLM/agent builder with experience shipping production LLM features at an early-stage ed-tech mental wellness startup (conversation analysis + structured feedback via FastAPI, OpenAI API, Render, CI/CD). Also built a multi-step dining concierge agent using OpenSearch over Yelp data with fallback query relaxation, and has enterprise data engineering experience at Capgemini migrating databases to Snowflake with robust ETL normalization and data-quality handling.”

“Built and shipped a production LLM feature that converts natural-language search requests into Lucene queries for OpenSearch-backed device event data, improving usability for non-technical users. Brings hands-on experience across the full stack of agentic systems: model training, FastAPI/React integration, Kubernetes deployment on AWS, event-driven orchestration with NATS/Kafka, and production-grade evaluation/observability.”
