Deep ROS2/MoveIt2 experience (architecture, QoS, custom nodes) plus autonomy stack work across SLAM, planning, and real-time latency/control debugging.”

“LLM engineer who has deployed privacy-preserving, real-time workplace risk monitoring over massive enterprise chat/email streams, tackling latency, hallucinations, and extreme class imbalance with model benchmarking, RAG + fine-tuning, and a pre-filter alerting layer. Also built an agentic legal contract drafting system (Jurisagent) using LangGraph/LangChain with deterministic multi-agent control flow, structured outputs, and reliability-focused evaluation/telemetry.”

“Built and deployed a production healthcare medical review agent that automates call-transcript summarization and medication reconciliation using a hybrid deterministic + LangGraph-orchestrated LLM workflow. Demonstrates strong reliability engineering (guardrails, schema validation, confidence thresholds, golden/adversarial eval, Langfuse monitoring) in a regulated environment, delivering 60% lower latency and 70%+ efficiency gains while partnering closely with care managers and operations.”

“Built and shipped a production LLM-powered investor research feature for a fintech product, focused on grounded answers and minimizing hallucinations. Implemented retrieval-quality and evidence-coverage gating with clear refusal fallbacks, and evaluates systems with regression tests and metrics like correct-refusal rate, hallucination rate, and latency. Comfortable orchestrating workflows with LangChain or custom Python depending on production needs.”

“Python/ML engineer with strong DevOps depth: built an end-to-end regime-aware stock prediction system (custom fine-tuned FinBERT sentiment + technical/macro features) delivering a 12% accuracy lift. Also implemented Kubernetes/Helm + Jenkins/GitHub Actions pipelines (including GitOps-style workflows for multi-cloud Hyperledger Besu) and improved deployment speed/stability by ~50% while addressing race conditions and image drift.”

“Backend/ML-systems engineer with experience (including Amazon) building real-time face recognition services using PyTorch (MTCNN/FaceNet) and AWS (SQS/S3/Lambda/EC2) with a focus on low latency, burst handling, and cost control. Also led a revenue-critical legacy pricing workflow migration to a serverless event-driven architecture using strangler-pattern rollout, simulation-based validation, and strong security practices (JWT/RBAC/RLS).”

“Built and deployed a production multi-agent RAG system at JPMorgan Chase to automate regulated credit analysis and compliance clause discovery across large internal policy/document libraries. Implemented LangGraph-based supervisor orchestration with structured state management (Azure OpenAI) to support long-running, resumable workflows, plus hybrid retrieval + re-ranking and guardrails for reliability. Strong at evaluation/observability (trace logging, LLM-judge, HITL) and at communicating results to non-technical stakeholders via Power BI embeds and Streamlit prototypes.”

“Backend/LLM engineer with experience productionizing RAG systems (legal-case natural language querying) and optimizing for latency/cost, including a reported ~40% reduction via Redis caching and batching. Built monitoring and real-time debugging workflows (FastAPI, structured logging, correlation IDs, sandbox repro) and regularly delivered technical demos/workshops. Also partners with BD/sales to translate LLM capabilities into business value, including ESG-metric extraction from corporate filings.”

“Built and shipped PromptGuard, a production middleware proxy that secures GenAI RAG/agent systems against prompt injection and unsafe tool use using risk scoring, graded policy actions, and least-privilege tool gating. Also replaced LangChain abstractions with a custom state-machine runner for a production voice agent to reduce latency and improve traceability, and delivered a clinic call assistant by converting front-desk/doctor requirements into scenario-based guardrails and measurable evals.”

“LLM/agentic systems builder at Verizon who deployed a LangGraph-orchestrated multi-agent ticket-automation platform with RAG (FAISS) to replace brittle rule-based bots. Improved routing correctness by ~30–40%, hit ~300ms latency targets via model routing, and reduced ops workload by ~60% through tight iteration with non-technical stakeholders and strong testing/observability practices.”

“Enterprise Architecture leader with insurance domain experience (Farmers Insurance) who drove a multi-phase roadmap to modernize a siloed CRM landscape—migrating from legacy Siebel to Salesforce Financial Services Cloud with Customer 360, MDM, and omnichannel capabilities. Also led a high-impact architecture decision to implement offline billing to reduce customer-facing downtime, including complex SAP/on-prem-to-cloud integration and transaction sync.”

“Independently built a production-grade, containerized enterprise agentic AI platform (stateful orchestration + RAG) focused on real-world reliability—guardrails, citation-based outputs, reranking, query rewriting, and evaluation harnesses to reduce hallucinations. Hands-on with OpenAI SDK, CrewAI, and LangGraph, and has delivered AI solutions for non-technical NGO stakeholders via demos and practical POCs.”

“Built and deployed a production LLM/RAG fraud investigation system to replace manual investigator workflows, combining transaction data, historical cases, and policy documents with agent-style steps and LoRA fine-tuning. Demonstrates strong reliability engineering (grounding, citations, abstention paths), performance optimization (retrieval/indexing/caching), and end-to-end MLOps orchestration using Azure ML Pipelines/MLflow plus Kubernetes/Argo with canary and rollback deployments.”

“Built and shipped a production LLM-powered RAG assistant for enterprise internal document search (PDFs, knowledge bases, structured data), addressing real-world issues like noisy documents, hallucinations, and latency with grounded prompting, retrieval-confidence fallbacks, and performance optimizations. Also partnered with compliance and business teams at JPMc to deliver a solution aligned with regulatory constraints, supported by monitoring, feedback loops, and systematic evaluation.”
