Vetted Django Professionals

“Built and deployed a production AI-powered personalized learning platform (Django + FastAPI) featuring an LLM+RAG tutoring assistant and automated grading. Demonstrates strong applied LLM reliability engineering (structured JSON outputs with Pydantic validation, hallucination control via FAISS-based RAG thresholds and refusals) plus scalable async microservice design and Airflow-orchestrated ETL across AWS/GCP.”

“F2P mobile LiveOps/product specialist (iOS) who acted as a bridge between product, design, and data during the live phase—analyzing player behavior, identifying loop friction, and iterating on progression, rewards, and live events. Emphasizes trust-preserving monetization through incremental cohort rollouts and tight monitoring of retention, funnel, revenue, and player feedback signals.”

“Internship project building and deploying a LLaMA-based, RAG-enabled copilot inside a Professional Services Automation platform, enabling natural-language navigation, text-to-SQL reporting, and project/resource/budget insights across multiple modules. Addressed real production issues like context drift and vague queries with hybrid search, metadata enrichment, and an intent classification/rewriting layer, orchestrated via Apache Airflow—ultimately cutting PMO reporting time by 40%.”

“Master’s capstone at Stevens: conceptualized and helped build a cross-platform assistive mobile app for visually impaired users with currency detection (ML), voice-driven AI chatbot (OpenRouter), and a guided navigation video-call feature using a shared room code. Personally implemented Firebase login/sign-in, facial-recognition login, video calling, chatbot integration, and led integration/testing across the full app.”

“Built a production AI-powered university marking system that automates question generation and grading from PDF course materials using a RAG pipeline (S3 + Pinecone) orchestrated with LangChain/LangGraph and deployed on AWS ECS via Docker/ECR and GitHub Actions CI/CD. Addressed a key real-world LLM challenge—grading consistency—by implementing rubric-based scoring, retrieval re-ranking, and standardized context summarization, validated against human instructors.”

“Product-focused full-stack engineer with strong performance and reliability instincts: improved production page responsiveness by 15% via lazy loading and render optimization, and built a polished React+TypeScript filtering dashboard with URL-synced state for shareable views. Also designed and operated a Django REST backend with versioning, token auth, structured logging, and API tests, and has handled real production scaling issues through PostgreSQL query-plan analysis and indexing.”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience building partner-facing Python APIs (FastAPI, Celery, Postgres/Redis) and AWS serverless data platforms (Lambda, SQS, Step Functions, Glue). Emphasizes reliability and governance—JWT tenant-scoped auth, secrets/config hygiene, data-quality quarantine, and incident ownership—plus measurable SQL tuning that eliminated timeouts and stabilized reporting workloads.”
