Vetted Deep Learning Professionals

“Robotics engineer who built a real, mostly self-assembled autonomous robot (WRAITH) as a final-year project, implementing ROS2-based 2D SLAM (Cartographer/SLAM Toolbox) and Nav2 on a Raspberry Pi 5 under tight CPU/RAM and OS compatibility constraints. Also delivered a full Flutter mobile control app backed by a Flask REST API (manual control, live camera streaming, mapping/navigation) and introduced an image-based verification method to improve localization.”

“Machine learning lab assistant at Eastern Illinois University who productionized a voice-enabled conversational AI system: redesigned it with RAG, LoRA fine-tuning (including text-to-SQL), and safety guardrails, then deployed a scalable API supporting ~1,000 daily queries. Also partnered with customer-facing teams during a BlueFi internship by building demos/APIs and accelerating releases via Terraform + AWS CI/CD automation.”

“Software engineer with demonstrated production performance wins (37% latency reduction) through SQL optimization, backend API redesign, and disciplined rollout practices (staging, feature flags). Experienced debugging distributed pipeline issues across infrastructure layers (memory pressure and network timeouts) and building AWS-based systems (Lambda + RDS) to handle request spikes, including work on a business-focused chatbot.”

“Built and deployed a production RAG-based internal document Q&A system using LangChain, vector search, and a dockerized FastAPI LLM service. Focused on reliability by systematically reducing hallucinations and improving retrieval through prompt grounding/abstention strategies, chunking and top-k tuning, and iterative evaluation with logged metrics and manual validation.”

Junior Machine Learning Engineer specializing in NLP, Computer Vision, and FinTech AI

Kathmandu, Nepal2y exp

“AI/LLM engineer who has shipped production RAG and agentic systems end-to-end (LangChain/FAISS, OpenAI+Gemini, FastAPI, Docker, Streamlit), focusing on retrieval quality and low-latency performance. Also partnered with a non-technical PM at deepNow to deliver a forecasting + summarization pipeline for daily market insights with iterative prototyping and a simple UI.”

“Built end-to-end product features for a Web3 monetization platform and also shipped a privacy-first mobile accessibility app, SenScribe, using on-device sound classification and LLM summarization with zero cloud dependency. Particularly interesting for roles spanning full-stack product engineering, mobile AI, and applied ML where careful debugging, stakeholder alignment, and real-world usability matter.”

“Built a university campus assistant chatbot (BabyJ/WWJ) using RAG and agentic routing with a FastAPI + React stack and JWT auth, focusing heavily on production concerns like latency and reliability. Uses techniques like speculative prefetching, smart intent routing, and rigorous eval/testing (golden sets, regression, edge cases) while collaborating closely with campus admin/advising teams to iterate based on real user feedback.”

“Unity/C# gameplay and rendering engineer who built a custom per-object shadow system in URP that improved performance from roughly 30 FPS to 80+ FPS while preserving high-quality dynamic shadows. Also built a personal multi-process AI/LLM workflow platform with custom prompt/control protocols, streaming UX, and cost-optimized memory/caching architecture—showing unusual depth across both real-time graphics and applied AI tooling.”

Entry-level Full-Stack Developer specializing in web, iOS, and ML applications

Buena Park, CA1y exp

“Builder-minded software engineer who has shipped a live iOS budgeting app and a solo full-stack web app, with strong evidence of production discipline in both ML and fintech-style integrations. Particularly compelling for roles involving ambiguous product problems, third-party API reliability, and end-to-end ownership from backend logic through user-facing recovery flows.”

“Backend/ML engineering candidate focused on fintech automation who architected a zero-to-one agentic/LLM-enabled system to reconcile messy financial documents and bank transactions, reporting ~40% operational efficiency gains. Experienced migrating monoliths to event-driven microservices with incremental rollout via reverse proxy, and implementing production-grade security (OAuth2/JWT, RBAC, Supabase RLS) plus resilience patterns (timeouts/retries under concurrency).”

Junior Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in AI-powered SaaS

United States, USA1y exp

“Worked on an AI-adjacent search/results product with a React front end and an API-driven backend, focusing on scalability and performance. Emphasizes decoupled JSON API architecture, React rendering optimizations (useMemo/useCallback), and large-dataset techniques like virtualization, plus strong user-issue triage via log analysis and edge-case fixes in query handling/ranking.”

Ekta Mulkalwar

Junior Machine Learning & Full-Stack Engineer specializing in applied AI systems

Los Angeles, CA2y exp

“Master’s thesis focused on building and deploying a gait-based biometric authentication system using mobile accelerometer time-series data as an alternative to passwords/2FA. Emphasized real-world robustness by addressing sensor noise and variability (phone placement, walking speed, footwear) and improving safety using biometric metrics like FAR/FRR and EER, while collaborating closely with a non-ML thesis advisor.”

“Internship-built full-stack systems spanning HR employee-record portals and internal data-quality dashboards (Flask + SQL + React), emphasizing data integrity and rapid MVP iteration. Also implemented Flask microservices with RabbitMQ for distributed task processing, addressing duplication/ordering issues with idempotency, durable queues, and correlation-ID logging; delivered quantified productivity gains for HR teams.”
