Director-level AI/ML & Computer Vision Engineer specializing in robotics and multimodal AI

Los Angeles, CA15y exp

“Candidate is not currently pursuing entrepreneurship (no business plan and no capital raised) and is not familiar with the VC/accelerator landscape. They show pragmatic, problem-first thinking about evaluating startup ideas—prioritizing real customer pain points and the quality of the founding team—and are open to working for others rather than founding "at all costs."”

“Built and deployed LLM-powered agentic systems including a multi-agent travel planning assistant using LangChain, RAG (FAISS), real-time APIs, and a supervisor agent to manage coordination and reduce hallucinations. Also developed a Text-to-SQL system with schema-aware validation guardrails, and collaborated with drilling domain experts at CNPC USA to build an ML model predicting rate of penetration (ROP).”

“Full-stack and AI engineer with Capital One experience spanning real-time customer dashboards and production fraud-analysis systems. They combine TypeScript/Next.js/Node.js product engineering with LangChain-based RAG architecture over a 400 GB credit-report corpus, delivering measurable impact including 35% lower frontend latency and 45% faster analyst workflows.”

“Backend/data platform engineer who led a major redesign of a hybrid streaming+batch analytics platform processing 10+ TB/day (Airflow/Hive/BigQuery) with strong data-quality automation. Also built a production RAG PDF assistant with concrete mitigations for hallucinations and prompt injection (re-ranking, grounding, verifier step) and has deep experience executing low-risk migrations (dual-write, blue-green, rapid rollback) and implementing JWT-based row-level security.”

“Built and deployed a compliance-sensitive LLM pipeline that extracts rebate logic from hospital–supplier medical contracts, using multi-layer redaction (regex/NER/dictionary), schema-validated structured outputs, and secure placeholder reinsertion. Hosted models on Amazon Bedrock to avoid retraining on sensitive data and improved both accuracy and cost by splitting the workflow into a lightweight section classifier plus a fine-tuned extraction model, orchestrated with LangChain and evaluated via layered, test-driven agent assessments.”

“Master’s-in-Data-Science candidate (UHV) with 4+ years in AI engineering building production LLM and multimodal systems. Designed an LLM-powered workflow automation platform using RAG over vector stores with guardrails (schema/output validation, fallbacks) and a rigorous evaluation/monitoring framework including drift tracking and shadow deployments. Experienced orchestrating large-scale vision-language pipelines with Airflow and Kubernetes (OCR, distributed training) and partnering with non-technical ops stakeholders to cut cycle time and reduce errors.”

“Built a production, agentic multi-agent pharmaceutical intelligence system for US oncology (breast cancer) conference/news intelligence, automating MSL-style information gathering and summarization for pharma and healthcare stakeholders. Uses CrewAI + LangChain orchestration, custom scraping across ~15 pharma newsrooms, and a grounding-score evaluation approach (sentence transformers/cosine similarity) to mitigate hallucinations.”

“Designed and deployed an enterprise LLM-powered clinical/pharmacy policy knowledge assistant at CVS Health, replacing manual searches across PDFs/Word/SharePoint with a HIPAA-compliant RAG system. Built end-to-end ingestion and orchestration (Airflow + Azure ML/Data Lake + vector index) with PHI masking, versioned re-embedding, and production monitoring (Prometheus/Grafana), and partnered closely with clinicians/compliance to ensure policy-grounded, auditable answers.”

“AI/LLM engineer with recent production experience at UnitedHealth Group building an end-to-end RAG system over structured EMR data and unstructured clinical notes, including evidence retrieval, GPT/LLaMA-based reasoning, and a validation layer for reliability. Strong in orchestration (Kubeflow/Airflow/MLflow), prompt engineering for noisy healthcare text, and rigorous evaluation/monitoring with gold-standard benchmarking, plus close collaboration with clinical operations stakeholders.”

“ML practitioner with hands-on experience in healthcare time-series modeling (CGM-based blood glucose prediction) including a novel ICA-based blind source separation approach and robust data-cleaning for noisy, missing sensor data. Also built an embeddings + LLM-powered podcast recommendation workflow using YouTube transcript scraping and Vellum AI document indexing, with a strong emphasis on production-grade engineering practices (TDD, monitoring) and realistic rolling validation for forecasting.”

“AI/ML engineer with production experience building a RAG-based internal analytics assistant (Databricks + ADF ingestion, Pinecone vector store, LangChain orchestration) deployed via Docker on AWS SageMaker with CI/CD and MLflow. Strong focus on real-world constraints—latency/cost optimization (LoRA ~60% compute reduction), hallucination control with citation grounding, and enterprise security/governance. Previously at Intuit, delivered an interpretable churn prediction system (PySpark/Databricks, Airflow/Azure ML) that improved retention targeting ~12%.”

“AI/ML engineer who built a production RAG-based internal document intelligence assistant (LangChain + Pinecone) to let employees query enterprise reports in natural language. Demonstrated hands-on pipeline orchestration with Apache Airflow and tackled real production issues like retrieval grounding and latency using tuning, caching, and token optimization, while partnering closely with non-technical business stakeholders through iterative demos.”

“Human-AI Design Lab practitioner who productionized a wearable-health anomaly detection system by evolving a standalone autoencoder into a hybrid autoencoder + GPT-based approach, backed by PySpark ETL and MLOps on AWS SageMaker/MLflow. Also has applied LLM troubleshooting experience (fine-tuned FLAN-T5 summarization) and partnered with BI teams to run A/B tests and improve retention via feature stores and experimentation.”
