Vetted Latency Optimization Professionals

“Healthcare-focused ML/LLM engineer who built a production hybrid RAG workflow to automate prior authorization by retrieving from medical guidelines/historical cases (FAISS) and generating grounded rationales for clinicians. Strong in operationalizing ML with Airflow/Kubeflow/MLflow on SageMaker, optimizing latency (ONNX/quantization/async), and reducing hallucinations via evidence-only prompting; also partnered closely with clinical ops to deploy a readmission prediction tool used in daily rounds.”

“Robotics software engineer with 2+ years of ROS/ROS2 experience who built a mobile robot stack from scratch (Fusion 360 → URDF → ROS) and integrated teleop, SLAM, and navigation. Worked in an ASU lab applying deep learning for person tracking on a TurtleBot setup, and solved real deployment issues like Raspberry Pi video-stream latency via compression and on-board processing. Also reports experience with CI/CD tooling (Jenkins) and Kubernetes.”

“Robotics/AV-focused candidate who contributed to an F1TENTH autonomous vehicle college project, building key autonomy components from raw sensor data to driving commands. Strong in perception and state estimation (visual odometry, particle-filter localization), plus mapping (occupancy grids) and planning/control (RRT, Gap Follow, PID), with hands-on ROS tooling and simulation validation in Gazebo/RViz and ROS environment containerization using Docker.”

“At Trellis, built and shipped a production multi-agent, authenticated GenAI chatbot for sensitive financial account inquiries (loan/payment lookups), using dynamic model routing to control latency and cost while improving accuracy. Implemented prompt-injection defenses (Meta Prompt Guard), RAG with LangChain, and LLM-as-a-judge evaluation; the system cut manual support call volume by 40%+ and was refined through close collaboration with QA-driven user testing.”

“At Provenbase, built and shipped a production LLM-powered semantic search and candidate matching platform (RAG with GPT-4/Gemini, multi-agent orchestration, Elasticsearch vector search) to scale sourcing across 10M+ candidate records and 1000+ data sources. Drove sub-second performance, cut LLM spend 30% with routing/caching, and improved recruiting outcomes (+45% sourcing accuracy; +38% visibility of underrepresented talent) through bias-aware ranking and tight collaboration with recruiting stakeholders.”

“Software engineer and co-founder with 0-to-1 SaaS experience who built and owned an end-to-end reporting/analytics dashboard on Next.js App Router + TypeScript, including Postgres schema design, aggregation query optimization, and post-launch performance/monitoring. Has delivered measurable React dashboard performance gains (~35% improvement in time-to-insight) and built durable, idempotent job/state-machine workflows using serverless functions and Postgres.”

“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.”
