Vetted Llama Professionals

“Data/ML practitioner with hands-on experience building NLP systems from prototype to production: delivered a Twitter sentiment classifier with robust preprocessing, SVM modeling, and Power BI reporting, and built entity-resolution pipelines for messy multi-source customer data (reporting ~95% improvement in unique entity identification). Also implemented semantic linking/search using SBERT embeddings with FAISS vector retrieval and domain fine-tuning (reported ~15% precision lift), and applies production workflow best practices (Airflow/Prefect, Docker, Azure ML/Databricks, Great Expectations).”

“AI/ML engineer who built a production agentic system to automate computational research experiments (simulation execution, parameter exploration, and numerical analysis) and mitigated context-window failures using constrained tool-calling/prompt-chaining patterns in LangChain with OpenAI tool-enabled models. Also has adtech/big-data pipeline experience at InMobi, orchestrating Spark jobs in Airflow to filter bot-like user IDs and publish clean IDs to an online NoSQL store for live serving, plus Apache open-source collaboration experience.”

“Built an AI journaling app at HackCU 2025 featuring a speaking AI avatar with long-term memory via RAG (ChromaDB) and low-latency microservices coordinated through Kafka, including deployment under AMD/non-CUDA constraints using a quantized Llama 8B model. Also has Goldman Sachs experience deploying a Trade UI on Kubernetes with CI/CD rollback automation, plus a healthcare AI internship at CU Anschutz collaborating closely with physicians on diagnostic reasoning and dataset annotation.”

“Built and deployed an enterprise GenAI knowledge assistant over thousands of internal PDFs/reports using a RAG stack (GPT-4 + Hugging Face embeddings + vector DB) to reduce manual search and SME escalations. Uses LangGraph/LangChain to orchestrate modular agent workflows with relevance filtering and fallback handling, and applies rigorous evaluation (golden datasets, edge cases, A/B tests) with production monitoring metrics.”

“Interned at Zonda where he built an AI-driven semantic search solution over ~280M housing/builder records. Iterated from local LLMs via llama.cpp quantization to a vector-embedding retrieval system, then boosted semantic accuracy with a custom spaCy NER layer and re-ranking, optimizing for latency through precomputation. Collaborated with economics-focused stakeholders to reduce manual document/paperwork time by enabling natural-language search over internal data.”

“Applied ML to physical EV fleet systems at ST Labs, building a real-time CNN-LSTM fault prediction pipeline from streaming vehicle telemetry and addressing live data alignment issues via resampling/interpolation and buffered inference. Also developed a V2G/G2V energy transfer algorithm to automate charging/discharging for profit optimization, and made high-impact low-latency pipeline decisions at Astera Holdings using profiling, replay testing, and live A/B validation.”

“Backend engineer who built and owned an AI-powered SMS survey platform for a nonprofit serving at-risk communities (internet-limited users), using Cloudflare Workers + Twilio and a state-machine survey engine. Scaled it to ~10k active users with near-zero downtime, added English/Spanish support, and iteratively improved LLM behavior (Claude 3.7 Sonnet) to handle nuanced, real-world SMS responses reliably.”

“GenAI/LLM engineer who architected and deployed a production RAG “research assistant” for JPMorgan Chase’s regulatory compliance team, focused on safety-critical behavior (mandatory citations, refusal when evidence is missing). Deep hands-on experience with LlamaIndex, Pinecone, Hugging Face embeddings, LangGraph agent workflows, and metric-driven evaluation (golden sets, TruLens), including a reported 28% relevancy lift via cross-encoder re-ranking.”

“Unreal Engine UI engineer focused on scalable, production-ready UI architecture (C++/Slate/UMG/CommonUI) with strong designer enablement via decoupled, interface-driven patterns and MVVM. Demonstrated measurable performance wins: replaced 200+ per-frame Blueprint bindings to cut UI prepass/paint from 4.2ms to 0.5ms and reduced VRAM by ~120MB using texture streaming proxies.”

“GenAI/ML engineer in Citigroup’s finance environment who has deployed production RAG systems for investment banking under strict privacy and model-risk constraints. Built an internal-VPC Llama2 + Pinecone + LangChain solution with NER redaction and citation-based verification to prevent hallucinations, delivering major time savings, and also partnered with global finance executives to ship an AI early-warning indicator for treasury/liquidity risk.”

“Early-career robotics engineer who has integrated LLM/NLP command interfaces (OpenAI/LLaMA) into ROS-controlled industrial manipulators and built data-driven controls for underwater soft robotic actuators. Combines hands-on fabrication (balloon actuator with embedded copper traces) with sensor debugging (IMU/Aurora) and simulation work in Gazebo, with practical exposure to edge deployment constraints on Jetson Nano and model quantization.”

“Built and deployed an agentic RAG assistant in production to automate enterprise knowledge search and multi-step workflows with tool calling, tackling real-world issues like hallucinations, retrieval accuracy, and latency. Demonstrates strong LLMOps and orchestration depth (MLflow, Airflow, LangGraph/LangChain/LlamaIndex) plus a metrics-driven approach to agent testing/evaluation and cross-functional delivery with business stakeholders.”
