Also built an embeddings + LLM-powered podcast recommendation workflow using YouTube transcript scraping and Vellum AI document indexing, with a strong emphasis on production-grade engineering practices (TDD, monitoring) and realistic rolling validation for forecasting.”

“ML/LLM engineer at Charles Schwab who built a production loan-advisor chatbot integrated with internal knowledge and loan-calculator APIs, adding strict numeric validation to prevent rate hallucinations and optimizing context to control costs. Also runs ~40 Airflow DAGs orchestrating retraining/ETL/drift monitoring with an automated Snowflake→SageMaker→auto-deploy pipeline, and uses rigorous testing plus canary rollouts tied to business metrics and compliance constraints.”

“ML/NLP practitioner who built customer-feedback topic modeling (NMF + TF-IDF) to diagnose chatbot-to-agent handovers and drove product/ops changes that reduced operational costs by 20%. Also developed LSTM-based intent recognition using Word2Vec/GloVe embeddings for semantic linking, and deployed an LSTM autoencoder for fraud anomaly detection that cut false positives by 25% while capturing 15% more fraud in A/B testing.”

“Human-AI Design Lab practitioner who productionized a wearable-health anomaly detection system by evolving a standalone autoencoder into a hybrid autoencoder + GPT-based approach, backed by PySpark ETL and MLOps on AWS SageMaker/MLflow. Also has applied LLM troubleshooting experience (fine-tuned FLAN-T5 summarization) and partnered with BI teams to run A/B tests and improve retention via feature stores and experimentation.”
