Vetted LangChain Professionals

“Built and shipped a production agentic LLM tool that helps internal teams update technical product whitepapers using plain-language edit requests, with strong guardrails (citations, verification, refusal/clarify flows) to reduce hallucinations and maintain compliance. Experienced taking LLM workflows from rapid LangChain prototypes to more predictable, debuggable LangGraph agent graphs, and orchestrating end-to-end ingestion/embedding/indexing/eval/deploy pipelines with Kubeflow.”

“Amazon internship experience building and shipping an end-to-end NL-to-SQL system: ingested/normalized metadata across 60+ internal tables, added rigorous multi-layer validation for LLM-generated SQL, and served it via a FastAPI backend for engineers—driving 90%+ faster dataset discovery and ~70% lower effort to access data. Also built an early-stage RAG-based healthcare assistant, iterating on chunking, embeddings, and retrieval to improve answer quality post-launch.”

“Backend/data engineer focused on production ML/LLM systems: built a real-time FastAPI inference API on Kubernetes with strong reliability patterns (timeouts, idempotent retries, centralized error handling). Delivered AWS platforms using EKS + Lambda with GitHub Actions/Helm CI/CD and built Glue-based ETL from S3/Kafka into Snowflake with schema evolution and data-quality controls; also modernized legacy analytics/recommendation workflows into Python services with safe, feature-flagged cutovers.”

“ML/LLM engineer who has built and productionized a large multimodal LLM pipeline end-to-end—fine-tuning a 20B+ parameter model with distributed/FSDP training and deploying on Kubernetes via Triton for ~5x throughput. Strong focus on reliability and safety (monitoring with SHAP, guardrails, A/B testing) with reported ~22% relevance lift and reduced harmful/incorrect outputs, plus experience orchestrating ETL/retraining workflows with Airflow across S3/Snowflake/RDS.”

“Built and deployed a production LLM-powered clinical support assistant at BJC HealthCare (RAG + transformer) to answer patient questions, summarize clinical notes, and support appointment workflows. Implemented PHI-safe data pipelines (Spark/Hadoop/Kafka) with automated scrubbing, dataset versioning, and audit logs, and runs the system on Docker/Kubernetes with Pinecone vector search while partnering closely with clinical operations staff.”

“Amazon Alexa engineer who architected and shipped a GenAI Knowledge Agent used by 2M+ customers, focused on making LLM outputs auditable via citations and a verification layer that prevents hallucinations. Built the full vertical slice (FastAPI/LangChain backend + React/TypeScript streaming UI) while keeping p99 latency under 200ms, and has proven incident response experience on AWS (Lambda/DynamoDB scaling issues).”

“Python backend engineer focused on high-throughput document/PDF processing systems, building end-to-end pipelines that extract structured content for downstream NLP use cases. Demonstrates strong practical MLOps-adjacent infrastructure skills: Kubernetes deployments, GitLab CI, GitOps workflows, and an incremental migration to AWS using EC2/Lambda tradeoffs. Deep hands-on optimization experience (selective OCR, layout-aware extraction, parallelism, caching, idempotency, and backpressure/autoscaling).”
