Vetted LLM Integration Professionals

“Backend engineer who built a Python-based data profiling/statistics platform processing up to 50M rows and ~300 metrics, using a DAG execution model, multithreading, and smart caching to cut processing time by up to 70%. Also improved PostgreSQL query performance from 12s to 2s via indexing/query rewrites, integrated an LLM (LangChain + OpenAI) for explainable “chat with the pipeline” functionality, and designed an AWS EC2+SQS architecture for scalable, isolated per-user processing.”

“Backend/AI engineer who built and scaled an internal AMD semiconductor manufacturing microservice platform (SMR), reworking a synchronous lot-request workflow into an event-driven RabbitMQ/Celery/FastAPI pipeline. Diagnosed and fixed peak-load reliability issues using deep observability and Kubernetes autoscaling, cutting notification latency back to sub-second and reducing duplicates via idempotency/DLQs. Also shipped an LLM-powered natural-language search with schema-constrained JSON outputs and guardrails, plus a plan-execute-verify Jira bug-resolution agent that can propose fixes and raise PRs under restricted permissions.”

Junior AI/ML Engineer specializing in production LLM systems and RAG

Atlanta, GA2y exp

“LLM/document AI engineer who owned a production-grade contract extraction pipeline at CORAMA.AI, ingesting PDFs and dynamic JavaScript sites from 1,000+ government sources. Built a hybrid deterministic+LLM system with two-phase prompting, Pydantic guardrails, confidence scoring, and human-in-the-loop review—cutting error rates from ~35% to <5% and processing 50k+ documents at ~95% accuracy. Also built clinician-in-the-loop orchestration in research, reducing manual labeling time from 3–4 hours to ~50 minutes.”

Intern Full-Stack/AI Software Engineer specializing in GenAI and cloud microservices

San Francisco, CA2y exp

“Backend engineer who owned the AI/data pipeline layer for an EV-charging management platform (Ampure Intelligence), ingesting real-time charger telemetry via OCPP and serving FastAPI APIs to web/mobile clients. Strong in production reliability for asynchronous systems (state reconciliation, idempotency), Kubernetes GitOps (ArgoCD), Kafka streaming, and zero-downtime cloud-to-on-prem migrations; also improved LSTM-based forecasting through targeted preprocessing.”

“Built and productionized an AI extension for JetBrains IDEs providing coding assistance, testing, security sweeps, and documentation generation using both an internal LLM and third-party models (e.g., Gemini, Claude). Experienced in diagnosing customer issues in real time (Slack) with structured follow-through (GitHub Issues) and driving adoption through developer-oriented walkthroughs and video demos.”

“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%.”

“Backend-focused Python engineer who built an end-to-end personalized chatbot service integrating Amazon Redshift context retrieval with Amazon Bedrock, including prompt construction and production-grade reliability controls. Strong platform experience deploying containerized services to Kubernetes with GitOps/ArgoCD, plus hands-on Kafka streaming and phased infrastructure migration execution.”

“Backend/platform engineer with payroll domain depth who built high-volume payroll processing microservices (Java/Spring Boot, Kafka, PostgreSQL, Redis) on AWS Kubernetes and debugged major peak-cycle latency by redesigning transaction boundaries and moving to async Kafka processing (>50% latency reduction). Also shipped an LLM-powered HR assistant using RAG with strong security/guardrails (RBAC, PII masking, audit logs) that cut support tickets by 40%, and designed reliable multi-step agent workflows with retries, circuit breakers, and idempotency.”

“Backend/AI workflow engineer with PayPal experience building workflow-driven financial compliance systems (Python/Java, Postgres, AWS/EKS) at thousands of executions/day. Has shipped production LLM-powered document extraction with strict schema/rule validation, auditability, and human-in-the-loop fallbacks, and has deep expertise in reliability (idempotency, locking, state machines) and Postgres performance tuning.”

“Backend/platform engineer with experience across edtech, logistics, and AWS internal systems—owned a production course recommender end-to-end (model serving + APIs + caching/observability), delivering +30% CTR and -20% latency. Has scaled real-time delivery visibility/rerouting on Kubernetes/EKS to sub-200ms P95 during demand spikes and built billion-events/day telemetry pipelines on AWS (Kinesis Firehose, Lambda, S3, Redshift) with schema evolution, dedupe, and replay support.”

Seattle, WA5y exp

“Full-stack engineer who built and owned an AI-assisted job-matching dashboard in Next.js App Router/TypeScript, keeping LLM logic server-side and improving performance via deduplication, caching/revalidation, and streaming (35% fewer duplicate LLM calls; 40% faster first render). Also has strong data/backend chops: designed Postgres models and optimized queries at million-record scale (1.8s to 120ms) and built durable AWS multi-region telemetry workflows with idempotency, retries, and monitoring.”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience across FastAPI/PostgreSQL APIs and AWS (Lambda, ECS) delivered via Terraform + GitHub Actions.
