Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in backend systems and FinTech analytics

Maryland, USA5y exp

“Engineer with a pragmatic, high-leverage approach to AI-assisted development: uses AI and multi-agent workflows aggressively for implementation and internal tooling, while maintaining strict human oversight for user-facing features. Stands out for treating agents like junior engineers, breaking work into actionable tasks, and combining robust testing, local E2E validation, and feature-flag rollouts to safely ship production code.”

“Built and deployed an LLM-powered clinical decision support and risk monitoring platform for mental health at Valuai.io, emphasizing low-latency, evidence-grounded responses and crisis-safe behavior with clinician escalation. Strong production agent-orchestration background (LangChain/CrewAI) plus rigorous evaluation (clinician-in-the-loop + evaluator agent) and large-scale synthetic testing; also applied multi-agent workflows to document verification and fraud detection during an AI internship at Nixacom.”

“AI/back-end engineer at Canon who helped build and operate an internal production LLM platform that acts as a secure middle layer between users and models, defending against jailbreaks/prompt injection while enabling RAG, memory, and grounded responses over company data. Experienced with LangChain/LangGraph orchestration, vector DB retrieval, and reliability practices (testing, monitoring, adversarial prompts) to run high-throughput, low-latency AI workflows in production.”

“Built and deployed LLM-powered features for a startup organizational management application, focusing on real-world deployment constraints like latency and cost. Implemented RAG with FAISS and improved retrieval quality by switching embedding models (OpenAI/Hugging Face) and fine-tuning embeddings on medical corpora for a medical-report UI feature. Uses LangChain and LangGraph to orchestrate multi-node LLM API workflows and evaluates systems with metrics like latency, cost per request, and error taxonomy.”

“Built a LangGraph-based, tool-routing LLM chatbot to deliver fast, trustworthy investment-stock insights (including tariff impact) and deployed it to production on Snowflake after initially developing in Azure with AI Search and the Microsoft Agent Framework. Improved routing robustness by moving from LLM-based decisions to a deterministic router backed by schema-relationship graphs and YAML metadata, and ran the project iteratively with non-technical stakeholders over an 8-month engagement.”

“Built a production-grade, semi-automated document recognition and classification system for large volumes of scanned PDFs, starting from little/no labeled data and handling highly variable scan quality. Deployed on AWS using SageMaker + Docker and orchestrated on EKS with a microservices design that scales CPU-heavy OCR separately from GPU inference, with strong reliability controls (validation, fallbacks, retries, readiness probes).”

“Built and deployed a production-grade, multi-agent Text-to-SQL assistant that lets non-technical stakeholders query large enterprise databases in natural language. Uses Pinecone-based schema retrieval + LLM reasoning (Gemini/Claude/GPT) with a dedicated validation agent (schema/syntax checks and safe dry runs) to reduce hallucinations and improve reliability, while optimizing latency and cost via async execution and embedding caching.”

“Built and deployed a production RAG-based clinical decision support assistant at MedLib, focused on fast, trustworthy answers from large medical documents. Demonstrates deep practical experience improving retrieval accuracy (semantic chunking + metadata-aware search), controlling hallucinations with grounded generation and thresholds, and adding clinician-requested citations using chunk metadata, with evaluation driven by healthcare professional review.”

Mid-Level Software Engineer specializing in backend systems, cloud, and applied LLM/NLP

IN, USA4y exp

“Applied LLMs to classify long nonprofit mission statements into 8 segments without labeled data, using an ensemble of clustering/embedding methods plus zero-shot RoBERTa/BART and a Tree-of-Thought prompting pipeline with LLM-as-judge evaluation (Gemma). Also built LangChain/LlamaIndex agentic RAG workflows including a text-to-SQL data analysis assistant grounded on DB schema with retries and performance optimizations on an HPC cluster.”

Siddhartha Geddam

Junior Robotics/ML Engineer specializing in autonomous UAVs and perception

2y exp

“Machine learning robotics engineer with internship experience deploying object detection and semantic segmentation models to an autonomous vehicle fleet operating in airports and naval docking stations, optimizing with ONNX/TensorRT for NVIDIA Jetson edge deployment. Also built ROS/ROS2-based decentralized multi-drone coordination (TF trees, shared telemetry) validated in Gazebo and networked via Nimbro with sub-10ms latency messaging.”

“Built a production ad-spend optimization system that combined deterministic audit logic with LLM-generated explanations, surfacing severe inefficiencies including 70-90% wasted spend in some Google Ads accounts. Stands out for pairing measurable business impact with pragmatic AI safety and usability decisions, including approval-gated execution and structured, human-readable recommendations.”

“Backend/AI engineer who built Matchable, an end-to-end AI-powered workforce matching platform using FastAPI, transformer-based NLP, PostgreSQL, and AWS, with a strong focus on practical system design tradeoffs. Also brings research-oriented experience from Los Alamos/ASU simulation work and has built multi-agent LLM workflows with schema validation and auditability, suggesting a thoughtful approach to reliability in AI systems.”

“Built and shipped a real-time AI robotic inspection system, using a synthetic data generation pipeline to address rare edge cases—cutting data collection costs ~60% and boosting hard-scenario accuracy ~20%. Experienced in productionizing ML on constrained Jetson hardware and orchestrating end-to-end ML workflows with Airflow/Docker/Kubernetes, with a metrics-driven approach to reliability, evaluation, and stakeholder communication.”

“Data scientist who has built production LLM agents (GPT-4o + LangChain + RAG) to automate analyst-style ad hoc CSV analysis with guardrails and GPT-as-a-judge evaluation. Also delivered an explainable healthcare NLP system for ICD code classification by collaborating closely with clinicians, using a hybrid rule-based decision tree + BERT model to reach 97% accuracy and cut manual review time.”

“Built and shipped a production multi-agent LLM system at Solena that automated internal project intake, validation, reporting, and stakeholder communications using Python, SQL, and LangChain, with strong emphasis on reliability (structured validation, safe defaults, logging, and state tracking). Also used LangGraph to orchestrate a multi-step video summarization pipeline, and has experience partnering with non-technical stakeholders to define “completion” criteria and reporting needs.”

Redmond, WA5y exp

“Backend/AI engineer who has built production LLM orchestration and agentic workflow systems in Python/FastAPI on Kubernetes across AWS/Azure. Demonstrated strong reliability engineering by debugging a real-world memory retention issue that caused latency spikes/timeouts, and strong data/performance chops with a PostgreSQL optimization that cut query latency from ~1.2s to ~15ms. Targets roles building scalable, guardrailed AI-driven workflow automation with robust observability and human-in-the-loop controls.”
