Vetted Machine Learning Professionals

“ML/NLP practitioner and technical founder who built an AUP risk-scoring model at Bill.com using TF-IDF + SVD features with XGBoost, and previously created automated data-quality guardrails for a Global Equity Risk stacked ML model at Thomson Reuters. Recently built a RAG-based chatbot for PaymentJock’s Home Affordability Probability product using embeddings and a local vector database (FAISS/Chroma), improving answer quality through chunking rather than expensive fine-tuning.”

“Operator with 20+ years experience and a business degree who led the build and deployment of a Medicaid fraud investigation product for Texas HHSC OIG, cutting investigation time from ~2 years to 90 days. Has government go-to-market experience and has raised a friends-and-family round for an earlier startup concept; now pivoting toward a healthcare-focused venture after a cofounder with core tech could not continue.”

“Chief of Staff to the COO / Strategy & Business Development leader at Annapurna who unified four distinct entertainment verticals (film, TV, interactive, theatre) into the company’s first cross-functional five-year plan. Built standardized pipeline reporting, forecasting models grounded in real execution rates, and executive dashboards that improved decision-making speed and COO leverage while navigating creative/finance tension and sensitive information.”

“Built and shipped a production LLM-powered medical scribe that generates structured clinical visit summaries using RAG, strict JSON schemas, and post-generation validation to reduce hallucinations. Experienced in making LLM workflows deterministic and observable (structured logging/metrics/tracing) and in evaluation-driven iteration with metrics like schema pass rate and edit rate; collaborated closely with clinicians and policy stakeholders at Scale AI to drive adoption.”

“Built and shipped a real-time AI phone agent for small businesses that handles bookings/FAQs/messages using streaming ASR, an LLM with tool-calling, and TTS; deployed to production for multiple paying customers. Demonstrates strong applied LLM reliability practices (tool-first grounding, retrieval, hard-negative testing, and production monitoring) and experience orchestrating multi-step AI workflows with Airflow, Prefect, and AWS Step Functions.”

“Robotics software candidate with hands-on experience building controllers for an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, including dual-PID control in Python with state-space modeling and a planned path to LQR. Developed ROS nodes for odometry-based localization, waypoint planning, and control command publishing, validated through a custom Gazebo/ROS simulation workflow with control-metric-driven testing. Also worked on F1Tenth simulation and scan-matching localization (PL-ICP), with additional cloud deployment experience using Docker/Kubernetes and CI/CD.”

“Built an autonomous-agent document indexing concept in a hackathon with Microsoft and The Seattle Times, architecting an Azure-based system (Azure AI Foundry, Cosmos DB, Azure indexing, Copilot Studio) and coordinating closely with the customer team. Also created and pitched a sports matchmaking app (Ludicon), combining user studies, feature implementation, and technical support on sales/investor calls.”

“Robotics/embedded engineer with hands-on experience building real-time control systems on RP2040 (hydroponics automation, 1-DOF helicopter stabilization) and full ROS 2 navigation stacks in simulation (URDF, TF, PID, A* in RViz/Gazebo). Demonstrates strong low-level protocol work (timing-sensitive one-wire in C) and rigorous debugging across hardware and software using UART instrumentation and oscilloscope verification, plus reproducible workflows with Docker and CI/CD (GitHub Actions/GitLab, incl. Sandia National Labs).”

“Amazon Robotics engineer who deployed and scaled the Lumos camera-based package scanning work cell across EU sort centers (100+ work cells in 5+ sites), enabling remote launches via detailed runbooks and troubleshooting. Strong in AWS IoT/edge systems, with hands-on incident recovery (restored 34 down work cells) and secure multi-compute certificate provisioning using IoT Jobs, ACM/CA, and custom roles; delivered ~75% per-cell cost reduction vs Cognex-based approach.”

“Technology/architecture leader with Accenture experience delivering data- and AI/ML-driven products, including a legal contract search solution and customer sales analytics for AWS. Known for scaling distributed teams (onshore/offshore), making pragmatic architecture decisions, and solving hard data problems (proprietary sources, data quality) while implementing scalable integrations like Redshift-to-Salesforce via parallelized pipelines.”

“Robotics engineer who helped bootstrap Meta’s humanoid robotics effort, building simulation training and deployment infrastructure for vision-language-action (VLA) models. Evaluated multiple physics backends (Bullet, MuJoCo, Isaac, internal) to minimize sim-to-real gap and addressed control-loop frequency mismatches via sequence optimization/MPC-like approaches and trajectory-output modifications. Published research that contributed a new addition to ROS 2 and has built ROS2 node stacks spanning control, perception, teleop, tactile sensing, and imaging.”

“Technology/engineering leader with experience at Real Messenger, Wolters Kluwer, and Accenture AI, spanning roadmap definition through execution and org scaling. Has operated at the executive level (fundraising, investor relations, SPAC merger activities, media presentations) while driving architecture decisions validated by PoC/testing/production success metrics.”
