“Built and owned major parts of a real-time distributed AI fraud-detection pipeline (ingestion, inference microservice integration, and automated action layer), optimizing latency and observability and reducing false positives by ~35%. Understands ROS/ROS2 concepts (nodes/topics/services) and planned hands-on ramp-up via ROS2 pub/sub exercises and Gazebo simulation, but has not worked on physical robots or ROS in production.”

“Built and deployed a RAG-based clinical knowledge assistant at GE Healthcare to help clinicians query large volumes of messy, unstructured clinical documents with grounded, cited answers. Hands-on across the full stack (OCR/ETL, de-identification for PHI, Azure OpenAI embeddings, Cosmos DB indexing, FastAPI/Django) with production monitoring via LangSmith and performance tuning through batching and index optimization.”

“Software engineer with experience building a Vue.js/TypeScript internal component library (with Jest testing standards) and improving JS runtime performance via profiling, code splitting, and lazy loading. Also led documentation and community support for a Python ML utility library, diagnosing metric-calculation bugs for imbalanced datasets and driving large reductions in support inquiries through targeted docs, tests, and rapid hotfixes in a startup environment.”

“Red Hat ML/LLM engineer who designed and deployed a production LLM-powered customer support automation system using RAG, improving latency by 30% via PEFT and vector search optimization. Built security and governance into retrieval (access-level filtering, encrypted Pinecone/ChromaDB) and delivered SHAP-based explainability via a dashboard for non-technical stakeholders. Experienced orchestrating distributed ML/RAG pipelines across AWS SageMaker and OpenShift with Airflow/Prefect, plus multi-agent workflows using CrewAI and LangGraph.”

“Platform-focused engineer experienced in productionizing ML/LLM systems: containerized a local prototype, implemented CI/CD, deployed to Kubernetes with scaling controls, and added monitoring/logging. Comfortable diagnosing real-time issues in LLM/agent workflows using logs/metrics and incident stabilization tactics, and supports sales calls by clearly explaining production scalability to unblock customer decisions.”

“Infrastructure-leaning engineer who has built real-time ML systems end-to-end: a Jetson-deployed adaptive Whisper ASR service (Flask + WebSockets, React/TS UI) and a high-throughput Postgres schema for live transcription. Also delivered customer-facing AI billing/OCR improvements for a dental startup (Dentite), boosting OCR performance by 38%, and has experience instrumenting open-source ML deployment stacks to add infrastructure visibility.”

“LLM/RAG engineer who has shipped production systems in high-stakes domains (fraud analytics at Mastercard and security compliance as a CI/CD gate). Strong focus on reliability: hybrid retrieval for latency, citation-backed outputs for trust, and code-driven eval/regression pipelines using golden datasets. Also built scalable OCR-based ingestion for messy classroom artifacts (handwriting, PDFs, whiteboard photos) using Go/Python and cloud services.”

“Infrastructure reliability/capacity-focused engineer with hands-on IBM Power/AIX (LPAR/DLPAR, HMC, VIOS) performance troubleshooting and modern cloud-native delivery experience. Built production CI/CD and Terraform-managed AWS/EKS environments, and has led real incident recoveries spanning Kubernetes autoscaling and AWS quota constraints with concrete RCA and prevention improvements.”
