“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.”

“Built a voice-driven desktop assistant for users with mobility impairments, integrating Whisper and Google Gemini and adding voice-authentication via speaker embeddings for secure command execution. Has hands-on experience with AWS serverless/microservices patterns (Lambda, S3, CloudFront, CloudWatch) and CI/CD, plus built an internal MySQL-to-MongoDB migration tool used by the CTO and dev team with an emphasis on safe, low-impact data transformation.”

“ML/NLP engineer who has built production systems end-to-end: a real-time recommendation platform (100k+ profiles) using BERTopic-style clustering and a RAG-based news summarization/recommendation stack with ChromaDB. Strong focus on scaling and reliability (GPU batching, Redis caching, Kafka ingestion, Docker/Kubernetes, Prometheus/Grafana) and on maintaining model quality over time via drift monitoring and retraining triggers.”

“Robotics software engineer who built an assistive Kinova Gen3 manipulation system for activities of daily living, spanning RealSense+ArUco perception, MoveIt2-based motion planning/task sequencing, and a React Native tablet UI with rosbridge and voice control. Optimized real-robot trajectories by blending OMPL with Cartesian/PILZ planning and created simulation workflows to test without lab/robot availability.”

“Robotics software engineer with ROS 2 Humble/Nav2 experience on a warehouse robot fleet, focused on improving throughput in dynamic human environments. Implemented C++ local-planner and velocity-control changes using LiDAR-based motion prediction and real-time costmap tuning under a 20ms control loop, and built a Gazebo digital twin with custom failure-injection plugins plus Docker/Kubernetes deployment tooling.”

“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.
