Irving, TX2y exp

“Backend/applied AI engineer from Cloud Rack Systems who built production GenAI/RAG and data platforms on Azure/Databricks at enterprise scale (2.5M records/day). Known for making LLM systems behave like deterministic services via strict retrieval contracts, citation-based validation, and strong observability—shipping a knowledge assistant used daily by 50+ users while driving hallucinations near zero and materially improving latency and cost.”

“Data-driven growth and partnerships professional with experience leading an analytics/reporting vendor rollout end-to-end (vendor selection via stakeholder interviews and PoC, then negotiating scope/pricing/support and tracking adoption/efficiency/accuracy KPIs). At PC Financial, built regression and segmentation models to optimize multi-channel targeting (in-app/email/push), driving +15% campaign engagement and +10% PC Optimum offer loads, and ran behavior-triggered lifecycle experiments that lifted upsell conversion by 20%.”

“Frontend engineer who has led customer-facing React + TypeScript products end-to-end, building complex dashboards with robust async state patterns (caching, deduping, cancellation, optimistic updates) and strong quality practices (TypeScript standards, layered testing, production monitoring). Experienced modernizing inherited codebases through modularization and performance work (code splitting/memoization) while aligning stakeholders and shipping safely via feature flags and staged rollouts.”

“Data scientist who has built production LLM agents (GPT-4o + LangChain + RAG) to automate analyst-style ad hoc CSV analysis with guardrails and GPT-as-a-judge evaluation. Also delivered an explainable healthcare NLP system for ICD code classification by collaborating closely with clinicians, using a hybrid rule-based decision tree + BERT model to reach 97% accuracy and cut manual review time.”
