Vetted Llama Professionals

“ML/backend engineer with PayPal experience building high-stakes production systems, including a GenAI internal support assistant and a real-time fraud scoring pipeline. Strong in Python/FastAPI, model-serving infrastructure, RAG architecture, and production observability, with clear readiness to transition those backend patterns into a TypeScript stack.”

Intern Machine Learning Engineer specializing in multimodal AI and evaluation benchmarks

San Diego, CA2y exp

“ML-focused candidate with beginner ROS/ROS2 experience (custom pub-sub nodes; TurtleBot3 SLAM simulation debugging via topic inspection and transform/orientation checks). Has research/project exposure to LLM training approaches (GRPO with pseudo-labels using Hugging Face TRL on Qwen/Llama) and uses Docker/Kubernetes + CI/CD to run ViT saliency-attention/compression workloads on UCSD Nautilus infrastructure.”

“Backend/AI systems engineer who has shipped production LLM agents focused on prompt engineering, code generation, and incident-response automation. Stands out for combining strong agent orchestration and reliability engineering with measurable business impact, including 60-70% cost reductions, 45% lower monthly LLM spend, and a 5x increase in developer iteration speed.”

“ML/GenAI engineer with strong end-to-end production ownership across predictive ML, RAG systems, and LLM routing. They pair solid platform engineering skills with measurable business impact, including 15% churn reduction, 35% support ticket deflection, 45% GenAI cost savings, and a shared inference library that cut deployment time from weeks to days.”

“ML/AI engineer with hands-on ownership of production document intelligence and GenAI systems, spanning model experimentation, AWS deployment, monitoring, and iterative optimization. Stands out for turning document-heavy workflows into reliable, near real-time products with measurable gains in accuracy, latency, and manual-effort reduction, while also shipping citation-grounded RAG features that drove user trust and adoption.”

Junior Software Engineer specializing in Edge AI and ML deployment

San Diego, CA3y exp

“Qualcomm engineer building Android applications that run on Qualcomm AI accelerators, with hands-on experience in C++ concurrency, chipset stress testing, and power/performance tuning. Has deployed on-device AI models and built deployment/log post-processing workflows using Docker/Kubernetes and CI/CD; interested in translating this embedded AI/performance background into robotics (perception/real-time systems).”

Pranav Puranik

Senior AI Engineer specializing in LLMs, RAG, and multimodal NLP

Austin, TX5y exp

“Built a production LLM/RAG assistant for insurance/health claims agents that ingests 100–200 page patient PDFs via OCR (migrated from local Tesseract to Azure Document Intelligence) and delivers grounded claim detail retrieval plus summaries with PII/PHI guardrails. Experienced orchestrating large workflows with Celery worker pipelines and AWS Step Functions (S3-triggered, Fargate-based batch inference/accuracy aggregation), and collaborates closely with non-technical SMEs (claims agents/nurses) through shadowing, iterative demos, and SME-defined evaluation.”

“Product-minded software engineer with experience shipping AI-powered financial insights (spend forecasting, cashflow, credit optimization) and building real-time analytics systems using React/TypeScript and FastAPI. Has designed microservices with RabbitMQ/gRPC and strong observability (Prometheus/Grafana/OpenTelemetry), and also built an internal Figma plugin adopted by designers that reduced export time by 50%.”
