“Built and shipped a production RAG-based enterprise knowledge assistant to replace slow/inaccurate search across millions of documents, using LangChain orchestration with GPT-4/LLaMA and vector databases. Strong focus on production constraints—latency, hallucination control, and cost—using hybrid retrieval, guardrails, LLM-as-judge validation, and model routing, and has experience translating non-technical stakeholder pain points into measurable outcomes.”

“Built and productionized an enterprise retrieval-augmented generation platform for internal knowledge over large unstructured corpora, emphasizing trust via strict citation/grounding and hybrid retrieval (BM25 + FAISS + cross-encoder re-ranking). Demonstrates strong scaling and cost/latency optimization through incremental indexing/embedding and index partitioning, plus disciplined evaluation/observability practices. Has experience operationalizing pipelines with Airflow/Databricks/GitHub Actions and partnering closely with risk & compliance stakeholders on auditability requirements.”

“Full-stack engineer who built and owned an end-to-end real-time engineering dashboard for Medtronic robotic surgical systems, streaming high-frequency sensor/kinematic data via Python WebSockets to a React/TypeScript UI. Differentiates through performance/reliability practices (stable core vs experimental layer, observability, caching) and high-impact 3D visualization + session playback that became part of engineers' regular bench-testing workflows.”

“Growth/creative marketer from Esleydunn Games who uses Google Analytics to integrate cross-channel performance data (TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook) and run structured A/B tests on video ad length and layout. Reported reducing CPA by 20 per customer when leveraging YouTube and TikTok, and improved CTR through CTA/button placement testing and ongoing user-feedback loops (forum/WeChat topics).”

“Full-stack engineer focused on productionizing LLM applications, including an Android privacy-policy risk summarization app (Kotlin/React Native + FastAPI + Ollama) that cut response times from ~10s to ~5–6s via batching, caching, async, and event-driven architecture. Currently at PRGX building an LLM-based legal contract clause extraction system, partnering closely with legal/procurement SMEs to create schemas, labeled datasets, and evaluation pipelines that improved accuracy from 70% to 85%.
