Also partnered with HR to deliver prompt-tuned, automated Slack messaging aligned to business tone and acceptance criteria.”

“Built and deployed a production Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) platform in a healthcare setting to automate clinical documentation review and summarization, targeting near-real-time, explainable outputs. Emphasizes grounded generation to reduce hallucinations, latency optimizations (chunking/embedding reuse), and PHI-safe workflows with access controls, plus strong orchestration experience using Apache Airflow.”

“ML/NLP engineer currently working in NYC on a system that connects complex unstructured data sources to deliver personalized insights, using embeddings + vector DB retrieval and a RAG architecture (LangChain, Pinecone/OpenSearch). Strong focus on production constraints—especially low-latency retrieval—using FAISS/ANN, PCA, index partitioning, and Redis caching, plus PEFT fine-tuning (LoRA/QLoRA) and KPI/SLA-driven promotion to production.”

“Built and shipped LLM/OCR/NLP-driven document-intelligence workflows in operational environments (EnvoyX and UPS), emphasizing production readiness via explicit state-machine orchestration, confidence gates, and human-in-the-loop review. Demonstrated strong business impact in customs brokerage/document ingestion: 50% fewer customs rejects, 30% higher throughput, SLA adherence improved from 71% to 96%, and platform reliability reaching 99.6% with 78% fewer bad-data incidents.”

“Data engineer/backend engineer who owns large-scale, real-time event pipelines on AWS end-to-end, including a petabyte-scale CDC ingestion flow from multiple Postgres DBs into Redshift. Re-architected a legacy DynamoDB+S3 approach into a Delta Lake + DuckDB/PyArrow-compatible design, improving performance dramatically (e.g., ~600s to ~10s for 1k records) and increasing reliability at high file volumes.”

“Built and owned an end-to-end AV operations automation and dashboarding platform for USC event operations, used daily to coordinate hundreds of live events. Delivered a React/TypeScript full-stack system integrating Smartsheet APIs with strong reliability practices (typed contracts, validation/fallbacks, safe rollouts) and experience with queue-based microservice patterns (idempotency, retries, DLQs, monitoring).”

New York, USA4y exp

“Internship experience shipping production AI systems: built an end-to-end RAG platform (Python/FastAPI + LangChain/LangGraph + vector search) to answer support questions from unstructured internal docs, with a strong focus on hallucination prevention through confidence gating and rigorous offline/online evaluation. Also delivered an AI-driven personalization/analytics feature using an unsupervised clustering pipeline, iterating with PMs to align statistically strong clusters with actionable business segmentation.”

“At JP Morgan Chase, built and deployed a production LLM-powered RAG knowledge assistant to help fraud investigators and risk analysts quickly navigate regulatory updates and internal policies, reducing investigation delays and compliance risk. Strong focus on secure retrieval (RBAC filtering), reliability (layered testing + observability), and production constraints (latency/SLOs), with Airflow-orchestrated, auditable ML pipelines.”

“Built and shipped a production LLM-powered personalized client engagement assistant in the financial domain, balancing real-time recommendations with strict privacy/compliance requirements. Demonstrates strong MLOps/LLMOps depth (Airflow + MLflow, containerized microservices, drift monitoring) and a privacy-by-design approach validated in collaboration with risk and compliance teams.”

“Amazon engineer who built a production AI agent platform (Python/AWS Strands on Bedrock) that lets teams create tool-using, multi-agent workflows—e.g., agents that auto-triage and resolve customer support tickets by reading internal documentation and collaborating with a research agent. Previously worked in Deloitte on IAM using Ping Identity/Ping DaVinci orchestration, and applies orchestration thinking plus structured evaluation (LLM-as-judge, surveys, automated tests) to improve agent reliability.”
