Vetted Hugging Face Professionals

“Full-stack product engineer who built a semantic word game end-to-end across web and mobile, including a custom ML-based scoring pipeline that replaced an expensive third-party API. Also has experience shipping real-time social learning features at BU Spark, with strong instincts around product ownership, UX polish, and pragmatic infrastructure choices.”

“Aspiring founder building an AI governance and compliance startup for the finance industry, focused on agents that monitor data lakes/lakehouses to detect security vulnerabilities, PII exposure, and governance issues in real time. Has already formed an S-corp, has not raised capital yet, and approaches idea validation through Minimum Lovable Product testing with potential clients.”

“Backend/data engineer who has owned production Python APIs and high-throughput async workflows on AWS (FastAPI, Docker, ECS/EKS/Lambda) with mature reliability practices like idempotency, bounded retries, circuit breakers, and strong observability. Also built AWS Glue ETL into an S3/Redshift lakehouse and modernized legacy batch systems via parallel-run parity testing and feature-flagged migrations, including a SQL tuning win cutting a multi-minute query to under 10 seconds.”

“ML/LLM engineer with production experience building a multi-GPU LLM inference platform using TensorRT and vLLM, achieving ~40% p95 latency reduction through batching/KV caching, quantization, and CUDA/runtime tuning. Also has end-to-end orchestration experience (Kubernetes, Airflow) and has delivered real-time fraud detection systems at Accenture in close collaboration with non-technical risk and product stakeholders.”

Tirat Carmel, Israel1y exp

“Built and deployed an agentic, multimodal LLM system that automates privacy redaction pipelines (audio/video/tabular) using LangChain orchestration and a closed-loop self-correction design. Personally implemented and performance-optimized core CV tooling (face blurring with tracking/Kalman filter) achieving >100 FPS on CPU, and validated reliability with golden-dataset benchmarking across 100+ privacy intents and measurable redaction metrics.”

Executive technology leader specializing in government, cloud, and cybersecurity

Reno, NV31y exp

“Founder with a bootstrapped startup who navigated early hiring and scaling by leveraging contractor talent before converting key contributors to full-time employees. Active in Northern Nevada's startup ecosystem through Generator and StartupNV, and notably declined angel/VC offers to preserve equity because of strong conviction in a differentiated product and its market fit.”

Akhilesh Patil

Screened

Junior AI/ML Engineer specializing in FinTech and generative AI

Remote, USA2y exp

“Built an end-to-end AI bug triage dashboard that combined React/TypeScript, FastAPI, Postgres, and classical ML to reduce manual engineering triage work by about 40%. Stands out for pragmatic, product-minded AI engineering: choosing interpretable models when they were sufficient, designing human-in-the-loop UX for trust, and separately building an agentic RAG project with vector search, Neo4j knowledge graphs, and reranking.”
