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%.”

“Built and shipped a production-grade GenAI Fraud & Compliance Investigation Copilot for a large US bank, integrating OCR docs, structured data, and prior case history to generate grounded, regulator-friendly summaries and red-flag highlights. Demonstrates strong end-to-end LLM systems engineering (LangGraph/LangChain, hybrid retrieval with FAISS+BM25, guardrails/citations, streaming/latency optimization) plus rigorous evaluation and close partnership with compliance stakeholders.”

“Built a production LLM/RAG-based “model excellence scoring” system at Uber to automatically evaluate hundreds of ML models, standardizing quality assessment and cutting evaluation time from days to minutes on GCP. Also delivered an NLP document classification solution for insurance claims at Globe Life, partnering closely with compliance/operations and improving routing accuracy from ~85% manual to 93% with the model.”

Mid-level Machine Learning Engineer specializing in Generative AI and MLOps

Missouri, USA3y exp

“LLM/agent engineer who has shipped production RAG chatbots in sustainability-focused domains, including a packaging recommendation assistant that standardized messy user inputs and used Pinecone-backed retrieval over product/regulatory data. Experienced orchestrating end-to-end ML workflows with Airflow and AWS Step Functions/Lambda, emphasizing reliability (property-based testing, circuit breakers, OpenTelemetry) and measurable performance (latency/cost). Partnered closely with non-technical leadership to ship 3 weeks early, driving adoption by 150+ businesses and ~20% reported waste reduction.”

Ranganayak Meravath

Screened

Mid-level Generative AI Engineer specializing in RAG, agentic copilots, and regulated AI

5y exp

“Senior engineer who built and productionized an Azure-based Enterprise AI Copilot for financial/compliance teams, focused on grounded, auditable answers with citations to reduce hallucinations in regulated workflows. Experienced designing multi-step agent orchestration and improving reliability through targeted iterations (e.g., fixing chunking/parsing to materially improve citation accuracy), plus building defensive pipelines for messy ERP/operational finance data.”

“Built end-to-end LLM/RAG systems for biological data and scientific literature analysis in a drug discovery setting, helping researchers explore disease insights and treatment hypotheses faster. Combines applied GenAI product work with strong production engineering, including monitoring, retrieval optimization, reusable Python services, and scalable deployment on AWS/Kubeflow.”

“Full-stack engineer building real-time internal banking operations dashboards (Java/Spring Boot microservices + React/TypeScript) with Kafka-based streaming and post-launch performance optimizations. Also shipped a production internal AI support assistant using RAG (Confluence/PDF/support docs ingestion, embeddings + vector DB retrieval) with guardrails, evaluation loops, and observability to reduce hallucinations and prevent regressions.”

Vamshikrishna Bandi

Screened

Senior AI/ML Engineer specializing in Generative AI and agentic multi-agent systems

6y exp

“Built and shipped a production LLM-powered multi-agent RAG system to automate complex internal support workflows, integrating tool execution (SQL/APIs) with validation guardrails to reduce hallucinations. Optimized for real-world latency and cost via model routing, caching, and async parallel tool calls, and enforced reliability with CI-gated golden test sets derived from anonymized production queries.”

Praveen Nutulapati

Screened

Mid-level Generative AI Engineer specializing in LLM fine-tuning, RAG, and agentic systems

New York, NY6y exp

“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.”

“Built Baioniq, an enterprise LLM platform for automating extraction from massive unstructured documents like contracts and insurance claims. They demonstrate unusually strong production depth in agentic AI—scaling to 100k+ requests/day, processing 1M+ claim documents, and improving extraction accuracy through rigorous RAG architecture, evaluation, and fallback design.”

Sirisha Maddikunta

Screened

Mid-level Generative AI Engineer specializing in enterprise LLM and healthcare AI solutions

O Fallon, MO6y exp

“Built and owned an end-to-end LLM-powered fraud investigation assistant that automated case summaries and risk analysis, cutting analyst investigation/documentation time by 40%. Stands out for translating RAG concepts into a production-grade internal platform with strong evaluation, monitoring, and reusable Python service architecture that improved both analyst trust and engineering velocity.”
