“Founder/builder of an EdTech startup (robograde.io) who personally conducted on-site classroom discovery with teachers and rapidly iterated the product based on real-world feedback. Implemented a Canvas LMS integration and refined it through weeks of in-person testing, and handled a live production grading failure by quickly debugging and deploying a fix, then adding fault-tolerant/backup API design.”

“Robotics software engineer/researcher with hands-on real2sim experience for deformable manipulation: led real-world data collection and diffusion policy deployment on an Aloha robot, then built a MuJoCo + Gaussian-splat digital twin with point-cloud alignment.

“Built and deployed custom AI chatbots at LivePerson, translating customer service pain points (e.g., MTTR reduction and fragmented information) into production RAG-based solutions with stakeholder-facing metrics dashboards. Experienced in real-time troubleshooting using Elastic logs, leading POCs, and integrating customer APIs to automate workflows as part of sales-driven solutioning.”

“Customer-facing technical professional who designs solution architecture and builds PoCs for regulated customers, iterating via biweekly demos and direct feedback to reach production-ready implementations. Regularly delivers technical demos (~2/month for nearly a year) and partners with sales/customer-facing teams by refining technical implementations until they match customer requirements.”

“ML/NLP practitioner with experience building a transformer-failure prediction system that combines sensor signals with unstructured maintenance comments using LLM-based extraction and similarity validation. Strong emphasis on production readiness—data leakage controls, SQL-driven data quality tiers, and rigorous bias/fairness validation (including contract/spec evaluation across diverse company profiles).”

“AI engineer with robotics perception experience at Forterra, building and deploying moving-object/obstacle detection models into real-time robot pipelines. Addressed training crashes/latency via sub-batch training and optimizer tuning, and improved debugging using ROS/ROS2 tooling with 3D voxel visualization and color-coded validation.”

“Backend/Full-stack engineer who built a Go-based API for a real-time eye-tracking system (calibration/recording/streaming) and debugged intermittent long-session timeouts through improved observability and concurrency refactors. Also shipped an LLM-driven "Doctor Simulator" product end-to-end (React/Node/Go/MongoDB/OpenAI), including structured prompts, deterministic verification/termination logic, and production guardrails like validation, retries, and prompt versioning.”

“Infrastructure-leaning engineer who has built real-time ML systems end-to-end: a Jetson-deployed adaptive Whisper ASR service (Flask + WebSockets, React/TS UI) and a high-throughput Postgres schema for live transcription. Also delivered customer-facing AI billing/OCR improvements for a dental startup (Dentite), boosting OCR performance by 38%, and has experience instrumenting open-source ML deployment stacks to add infrastructure visibility.”

“LLM/RAG engineer who has shipped production systems in high-stakes domains (fraud analytics at Mastercard and security compliance as a CI/CD gate). Strong focus on reliability: hybrid retrieval for latency, citation-backed outputs for trust, and code-driven eval/regression pipelines using golden datasets. Also built scalable OCR-based ingestion for messy classroom artifacts (handwriting, PDFs, whiteboard photos) using Go/Python and cloud services.”

“QA/automation engineer with experience at Riot Games’ player platform, owning E2E automation for mission-critical authentication/account flows using Playwright/JavaScript plus API automation. Built CI merge gates and nightly verification with Slack reporting, and repeatedly caught backend-driven session/authorization regressions before production. Known for stabilizing flaky UI tests via selector strategy and network intercepts, and for influencing design early with testability hooks and telemetry.”

“Software engineer with experience at Molina Healthcare and Target, owning production features end-to-end across backend, data pipelines, and UI. Built an event-driven claims validation system (Python/Java/Spring Boot/Kafka) with strong observability, and shipped embeddings-based semantic product search with evaluation loops (CTR/top-k + human review) and guardrails like keyword-search fallback.”

“UE5 UI engineer who built a production-ready, modular training/procedure framework with editor tooling so curriculum designers and technical trainers could author content without Unreal expertise. Deep hands-on ownership across C++/Slate/UMG/CommonUI, including MVVM architecture, cross-platform input/navigation, and rigorous UI profiling/debug tooling that can be stripped from shipping builds.”
