“Full-stack engineer who builds and scales customer-facing and internal AI products end-to-end (React/TypeScript/FastAPI/MongoDB) with strong product instrumentation and rapid MVP iteration. Built an AI-powered code review assistant adopted across teams and integrated into CI/CD, reducing manual review time by 30%+, and has hands-on experience with LLM retrieval/reasoning systems (LangChain + FAISS) and microservices scaling using RabbitMQ, Docker, and AWS.”

“AI engineer focused on production-grade LLM systems rather than prompt-only solutions, with hands-on experience building citation-grounded RAG products and multi-agent workflows. Most notably built a financial document intelligence system for SEC filings and contracts that achieved ~92% recall@5, cut latency below 2 seconds, reduced hallucinations, and turned analyst research from hours into seconds.”

“New grad candidate with graduate research experience building a multi-agent RAG pipeline from scratch, including worker-coach orchestration and an evaluation framework. Most notably, they improved structural similarity from 67% to 98% by designing validation and retry logic to reduce hallucinations, showing strong practical depth in agentic AI systems.”

“Full-stack software engineer who shipped production systems in academic and e-commerce contexts, including a UC Irvine course recommendation platform with async Kafka-based OCR processing (Tesseract) and LangChain-driven recommendations. Strong in building polished React/TypeScript dashboards (Figma-to-implementation) and owning Python backends (FastAPI/Flask) with solid API design, caching, and AWS EKS deployments; delivered measurable impact (tripled engagement, ~50% faster processing).”

“Research assistant who single-handedly built and integrated an indoor autonomous wheelchair system using NVIDIA Jetson Nano, LiDAR, and a stereo camera. Implemented a multi-sensor perception pipeline (OpenCV/PCL) with ROS-based modular nodes, TF frame management, and robust debugging via RViz/rosbag, plus simulation testing in Gazebo and Dockerized environments for portability.”

“Backend engineer with deep experience modernizing a provider credentialing/compliance platform with multiple upstream/downstream integrations. Focused on building predictable, scalable REST APIs (primarily ASP.NET Core; framework-agnostic approach applicable to FastAPI), improving performance via DB/query optimization, and hardening workflows with idempotency, transactions, feature flags, and strong auth/RBAC patterns.”

“QA automation-focused candidate with hands-on ownership of unit and integration test suites, including CI/CD integration in GitLab. Caught a database-query regression that would have shipped incomplete API data by relying on automated integration tests, and has practical Cypress experience stabilizing flaky tests using cy.intercept()/cy.wait() and stable selectors.”

“Engineering leader/player-coach who redesigned A/B testing and observability infrastructure for real-time audio/video features at 90M+ DAU scale, using Kafka-based ingestion and horizontally scalable aggregation for near real-time metrics.
