Vetted LlamaIndex Professionals

“Product-focused full-stack engineer at startup (Zippy) who shipped a production multi-agent AI system for restaurant operations plus payments workflows. Built end-to-end: RAG grounded on a Notion knowledge base, structured function-calling task routing, FastAPI/JWT multi-tenant backend, and a polished React+TypeScript owner dashboard. Has real production incident experience (duplicate Stripe webhooks) and reports ~94% task-routing accuracy under load.”

“Interned at Larsen & Toubro where they built and deployed an agentic RAG document question-answering system to reduce time spent searching documents and improve trustworthiness. Implemented ReAct-style multi-step orchestration with LangChain/LlamaIndex plus evidence-bounded generation, grounding/citations, and rigorous evaluation—cutting latency ~40%, hallucinations ~35%, and unsafe outputs ~40% while collaborating closely with non-technical business/ops stakeholders.”

“LLM/ML engineer who has shipped an enterprise RAG-based Q&A system (LangChain/LlamaIndex, FAISS + Azure Cognitive Search, GPT-3.5/4 via OpenAI/Azure OpenAI) to production on Docker + Kubernetes/OpenShift, tackling hallucinations, retrieval quality, latency/cost, and RBAC/IAM security. Also partnered with operations leaders to turn manual reporting into an LLM-powered summarization and forecasting dashboard driven by real KPIs and iterative stakeholder feedback.”

“Built and deployed a production LLM system that scraped Google Maps menu photos, extracted structured prices via OpenAI, and cross-validated them against website-scraped data to automate data-quality verification at scale (replacing costly manual contractor checks). Demonstrates strong reliability instincts—precision-first prompting, output gating with image-quality metadata, and fuzzy matching/RAG techniques—plus solid orchestration (Dagster/Airflow) and observability (Sentry, Prometheus/Grafana).”

“Currently at Huntington Bank, built a production-grade RAG system that helps business/operations teams get grounded answers from large volumes of internal enterprise documents. Owns ingestion and FastAPI backend, tuned hybrid BM25+vector retrieval and chunking for relevance, and evaluates reliability with metrics and observability (LangSmith, CloudWatch, Prometheus/Grafana) while partnering closely with non-technical stakeholders.”

“Built and led an autonomous driving software effort for Formula Student, owning the full autonomy stack (perception, planning, control) orchestrated in ROS. Implemented stereo depth + YOLO object detection, RRT/RRT* planning, and a robust SLAM pipeline (Kalman filter, submapping) while leveraging Gazebo simulation and modern deployment tooling (Docker/Kubernetes, AWS, GitHub Actions CI/CD).”

“Built a production AI-driven contract/document extraction system combining OCR, normalization, and LLM schema-guided extraction, orchestrated with PySpark and Azure Data Factory and loaded into PostgreSQL for analytics. Emphasizes reliability at scale—using strict JSON schemas, confidence scoring, targeted retries, and multi-layer validation to control hallucinations while processing thousands of PDFs per hour—and partners closely with non-technical business teams to refine fields and deliver usable dashboards.”

“Built and productionized a HIPAA-compliant LLM+RAG Clinical AI assistant at Optum, fine-tuning GPT/LLaMA on de-identified patient notes and integrating FAISS/Pinecone for sub-second retrieval; reported to cut diagnosis time by ~20 minutes per case. Experienced in orchestrating ML pipelines (Airflow, AWS Step Functions, Azure Data Factory) and in reliability techniques for LLM systems (grounding, citations, confidence filters, monitoring) while partnering closely with clinicians and compliance teams.”

“AI engineer who deployed a production LLM-powered safety system for an education platform, combining rule-based checks, multi-LLM verification, and selective context (prompt+image vs image-only) to prevent explicit prompts/images from getting through. Strong focus on reliability via benchmarking, trace-based failure analysis, and continuous improvement driven by stakeholder feedback and manual review.”

“ML/LLM engineer who has shipped production RAG systems (LangChain + HF Transformers + FAISS) with hybrid retrieval and cross-encoder re-ranking, deployed via FastAPI/Docker/Kubernetes and monitored with MLflow. Also partnered with wealth advisors at Edward Jones to deliver a client retention model with SHAP-driven explanations and a dashboard that improved trust, adoption, and reduced high-value client churn.”

“Founding AI engineer (June 2024) at Talon Labs who built and productionized an LLM-powered chatbot for interacting with proprietary supply-chain documents, deployed at large scale (25–100,000 users). Experienced with RAG/LLM orchestration (LangChain, LlamaIndex, Groq AI) and production ops tooling (Kubernetes, Docker, Kubeflow, Airflow), with a metrics-driven approach to evaluation, observability, and stakeholder alignment.”

“Finance-domain ML/LLM engineer who has shipped production systems including a RAG-based financial insights assistant with a custom post-generation validation layer that verifies atomic claims against retrieved source text to prevent hallucinations in compliance-critical workflows. Also built large-scale MLOps automation on AWS using Kubeflow + MLflow + CI/CD for fraud detection and credit risk models processing 500M+ transactions/day with a 99.99% uptime goal, and partnered closely with JP Morgan risk/compliance stakeholders on NLP-driven compliance monitoring.”

“ML/LLM engineer who has deployed a production LLM-powered assistant for intent classification and query routing (order recommendation/support deflection), combining BERT fine-tuning with an embedding-based retrieval layer and optimizing for low-latency inference. Experienced with end-to-end reliability practices—Airflow-orchestrated ETL, data validation/alerting, MLflow experiment tracking, and iterative improvements driven by user feedback and monitoring.”

“Built and deployed a production RAG-based internal knowledge assistant that let analysts query company documents in natural language, using LangChain/LangGraph with Pinecone and a FastAPI service for integration. Emphasizes reliability in production through hallucination mitigation (retrieval tuning + prompt guardrails) and measurable evaluation/monitoring (accuracy, latency, task completion, hallucination rate), iterating based on user feedback.”

“Backend/DevOps engineer pivoting into robotics/space, building hands-on ROS2 (Humble) skills via Gazebo simulations and experimenting with Nav2 and slam_toolbox. Brings strong distributed-systems and real-time debugging practices (profiling, instrumentation, QoS/retry patterns) and is actively learning perception and control fundamentals to transition into autonomous robotics.”
