Vetted Exploratory Data Analysis Professionals

“Data science/AI intern at University at Buffalo Business Services who built and deployed production systems spanning classic ML and LLM assistants. Delivered real-time competitor intelligence for a Cornell-partnered, $1B beverage launch by scraping/cleaning 5,000+ SKUs and deploying models via API, then built a domain-aware LLM assistant to modernize Excel-based workflows with strong grounding, privacy controls, and sub-5s latency.”

Intern AI Engineer specializing in LLMs, NLP, and conversational search

Chicago, Illinois1y exp

“Student building a production trip-planning LLM agent (LangChain + Streamlit) that routes user queries across multiple tools (maps/places/Wikipedia). Implemented zero-shot multi-label intent detection with priority rules to handle multi-intent requests, and collaborates with a startup product manager to shape tone, features, and user experience.”

“AI Engineer at Humanitarian AI who has built and productionized both a LangGraph-based multi-agent workflow system and a RAG pipeline (OpenAI embeddings + vector DB) with rigorous evaluation/guardrails. Reports strong measurable impact (60% faster workflow delivery, 40% fewer incidents, 70% reduced research time) and has prior enterprise modernization experience at Infosys migrating ETL to microservices with zero production incidents.”

“Built and deployed an agentic RAG platform at Centene Health to support healthcare claims and complaints workflows (Q&A for claims agents, executive complaint summarization, and compliance triage/classification). Experienced in LangChain/LangGraph orchestration, production deployment on AWS with FastAPI/Docker/Kubernetes, and implementing HIPAA-compliant guardrails to reduce hallucinations and ensure explainable outputs.”

“Senior Data Scientist in consulting who has built production RAG systems for insurance/annuity document search at large scale (100K+ PDF pages), emphasizing grounded answers, guardrails, and low-latency retrieval. Experienced in end-to-end MLOps for LLM apps—monitoring, evaluation sets, drift handling, and safe rollouts—and in orchestrating complex pipelines with Prefect/Airflow and deploying services on Kubernetes.”

“Backend engineer who built an Emergency Alert System with Virginia Tech for the City of Alexandria, focusing on real-time ingestion, secure dashboards, and AI-assisted prioritization. Emphasizes high-stakes reliability with guardrails (hybrid rules+LLM, confidence-based fallbacks), scalable async processing, and defense-in-depth security (JWT/RBAC plus database row-level security).”

“Backend/AI engineer who has shipped production LLM systems end-to-end, including an AI request-routing service (FastAPI + BART MNLI + OpenAI/Gemini) that improved accuracy ~25% after launch via eval-driven prompt/category iteration. Also built an enterprise document intelligence/RAG platform on Azure (Blob/SharePoint/Teams ingestion, OCR/NLP chunking, embeddings in Azure Cognitive Search) with PII guardrails (Presidio), confidence gating, and scalable event-driven pipelines handling millions of documents.”

Mid-level Data Analyst specializing in analytics, BI, and predictive modeling

CT, USA6y exp

“Analytics professional with cross-domain experience spanning healthcare claims, logistics optimization, and customer booking funnels. They combine strong SQL/Python execution with stakeholder alignment and operational adoption, and can point to measurable impact including 18% healthcare cost optimization and 24% logistics savings.”

“LLM/RAG engineer who has built and shipped production assistants, including a RAG-based teaching assistant (Marvel AI) using LangChain/LlamaIndex/ChromaDB with OpenAI embeddings and Redis vector search, achieving ~30% accuracy gains and ~35% latency reduction. Also deployed FastAPI services on Google Cloud Run with observability and prompt-level monitoring, and partnered with non-technical ops stakeholders to deliver an internal policy-document RAG assistant.”

Mid-level AI/ML Engineer specializing in Generative AI and LLM-powered NLP

Boston, MA3y exp

“LLM/AI engineer who built a production automated document-understanding pipeline on Azure using a grounded RAG layer, designed to reduce manual review time for unstructured financial documents. Demonstrates strong real-world scaling and reliability practices (Service Bus queueing, Kubernetes autoscaling, observability, retries/circuit breakers) plus rigorous evaluation (shadow testing, replaying traffic, multilingual edge-case suites) and stakeholder-friendly, evidence-based explainability.”

“Healthcare-focused ML/LLM engineer who built a production hybrid RAG workflow to automate prior authorization by retrieving from medical guidelines/historical cases (FAISS) and generating grounded rationales for clinicians. Strong in operationalizing ML with Airflow/Kubeflow/MLflow on SageMaker, optimizing latency (ONNX/quantization/async), and reducing hallucinations via evidence-only prompting; also partnered closely with clinical ops to deploy a readmission prediction tool used in daily rounds.”

“Full-stack engineer with experience at Western Union and Aptly (for Microsoft), building production systems spanning React/TypeScript frontends and .NET Core/microservices backends. Has delivered an engineer-facing diagnostics/configuration console with TanStack Query caching/background refresh and has hands-on experience hardening transaction-processing workflows with Kafka, Azure Functions, and Resilience4j, plus Postgres modeling and query optimization.”
