Vetted LSTM Professionals

“Built and deployed a production NLP sentiment analysis system at Piper Sandler to turn noisy, finance-specific customer feedback into scalable insights. Demonstrates strong end-to-end MLOps: fine-tuning BERT, improving label quality, monitoring for language drift, and automating retraining/deployment with Airflow and Docker (plus Kubeflow exposure).”

“Robotics software engineer focused on sim-to-real deployment: built an Isaac Sim/Isaac Lab PPO training pipeline with domain randomization for vision-conditioned quadruped locomotion and integrated a RealSense D435i into a ROS2 stack on hardware. Also worked on an autonomous surface vessel, standardizing ROS2 interfaces across Jetson, microcontroller, GPS/IMU and motor controllers, using structured logging/replay to debug real-time oscillations and improve path tracking.”

“ML/NLP engineer with Industrial IoT experience who built an end-to-end anomaly detection and GenAI explanation system: AWS (S3, PySpark, EC2/Lambda) pipelines feeding dashboards, plus transformer-embedding vector search to connect anomalies to noisy maintenance notes and past events. Demonstrated measurable impact (15% lift in defect detection; ~35% reduction in manual review; 35% fewer preprocessing errors) and strong productionization practices (orchestration, monitoring, rollback, data-quality controls).”

“ML/NLP engineer focused on large-scale data linking for e-commerce-style catalogs and customer records, combining transformer embeddings (BERT/Sentence-BERT), NER, and FAISS-based vector search. Has delivered measurable lifts (e.g., +30% matching accuracy, Precision@10 62%→84%) and built production-grade, scalable pipelines in Airflow/PySpark with strong data quality and schema-drift handling.”

Mid-level AI/ML Engineer specializing in LLMs, NLP, and AWS MLOps

New York, US3y exp

“Recent master’s graduate in robotics with applied experience across reinforcement learning and ROS 2 autonomy stacks. Built an RL-based drone vertiport traffic controller (PPO) focused on reward design and simulation integration, and has hands-on navigation work in ROS 2 including LiDAR preprocessing, SLAM/path planning, and stabilizing TurtleBot3 wall-following. Also brings deployment experience containerizing robotics nodes and scaling them with Kubernetes on AWS.”

“LLM/agentic systems builder who has deployed production solutions for a resource management firm, using an MCP-driven architecture with Neo4j + Elasticsearch and a ChatGPT frontend to generate candidate/company “SmartPacks” and answer entity Q&A. Also built a LangGraph/LangSmith-orchestrated multi-agent workflow that automates data-infra change requests end-to-end (impact analysis, SQL + tests, and PR creation), and delivered a ~60% latency reduction through TTL-based context caching while improving accuracy via a business data dictionary.”

“ML engineer with hands-on experience taking a Gaussian Process Regression-based intelligent survey timing system from build to real-world deployment, including a 3-week RCT on 120 participants and measurable improvements (15% response rate, 23% data quality). Also served as a key technical resource at CData for customer-facing demos and debugging hundreds of production issues, bridging engineering with Sales and Customer Success.”

Entry-Level Software Engineer specializing in backend systems and FinTech

Fremont, CA1y exp

“Software engineering intern experience at Zoho Corp and Zeus Desk building and deploying customer-facing systems. Delivered a real-time booking platform backend that stayed stable for 1,000+ users by optimizing MySQL queries/indexing and shipping hotfixes during production latency incidents. Also integrated financial operations APIs across 50+ small-bank partners by creating a normalization/validation layer to handle inconsistent partner data and prevent integration breakages.”

“AI/LLM engineer who has shipped production systems end-to-end, including a note-taking product (Notey) combining audio/image capture, ASR, summarization, and a semantic chat agent over past notes. Also has applied ML experience in healthcare, collaborating directly with doctors to validate an EEG seizure-detection pipeline, and uses Kubernetes to optimize GPU usage for LLM training.”

“Built and shipped a production LLM-powered decision system that replaced a slow, inconsistent manual review process by turning messy text into structured, auditable outputs behind an API. Demonstrates strong end-to-end ownership of reliability and operations (schema validation, retries/fallbacks, latency/cost controls, monitoring for drift) and a disciplined approach to evaluation and regression testing. Experienced collaborating with non-technical reviewers to define success criteria and deliver interpretable outputs that get adopted.”

“AI/ML engineer with production experience building an enterprise network-fault prediction assistant that combines anomaly detection (Isolation Forest + LSTM) with an LLM layer for incident diagnosis and recommended resolutions. Hands-on with orchestration (Airflow, Prefect, Dagster) to run ETL/ELT and automated training/fine-tuning workflows, and has delivered AI solutions with non-technical stakeholders (retail customer support ticket categorization/response suggestions).”

Senior AI/ML Engineer specializing in LLMs, RAG, and VR/XR multimodal systems

Salt Lake City, UT8y exp

“PhD researcher (University of Utah) who built a production RAG-powered Virtual Reality Research Assistant to answer lab research questions with concrete citations. Implemented an end-to-end LangChain pipeline using PyPDFLoader, chunking strategies, OpenAI embeddings, and ChromaDB, with emphasis on grounding to reduce hallucinations and ensure research-grade accuracy. Collaborated closely with a non-technical PhD advisor to scope requirements, manage cost constraints, and demo iterative progress.”

“VC-style founder sourcer who uses technical signals (GitHub) and niche communities (Elpha/Indie Hackers/Discord) to identify early-stage opportunities, including thesis-driven sourcing in applied AI infrastructure/observability from YC W24. Emphasizes value-first LinkedIn outreach and long-horizon relationship building (e.g., built a personal relationship with Snitch’s CTO who later reached out first about a new startup).”

“Healthcare-focused ML/AI engineer who has built clinical note summarization and medical image annotation solutions using LLMs, RAG, and multimodal models. They combine experimentation across major model providers with practical production concerns like monitoring, drift detection, and latency/cost tradeoffs, and also earned 2nd place in a Google hackathon for a medical AI assistant.”
