Harrison, NJ4y exp

“ML/LLM engineer at Adobe who deployed a transformer-based personalization and campaign-targeting recommender system end-to-end, including PySpark/Airflow pipelines processing 12M+ events/day and containerized inference on AWS SageMaker (Docker/Kubernetes). Also has hands-on LLM workflow experience (RAG, semantic search, prompt optimization, hallucination mitigation) with a metrics-driven approach to reliability, drift monitoring, and reproducible retraining via MLflow.”

“Built GenMedX, a multi-module clinical AI system for emergency department decision support spanning triage prediction, diagnosis, medication Q&A, and visit summarization. Stands out for combining medical LLM fine-tuning, RAG, and rigorous evaluation/monitoring to drive a major triage recall improvement from 38.5% to 76.6%, with a strong focus on safety, edge-case detection, and production reliability.”

“Software Developer at Amazon Robotics who co-developed a congestion-aware path planning system optimizing robot routes across 23 warehouses. Built and operated a real-time, service-integrated pipeline using AWS (AppConfig, DynamoDB), Java, and Redis caching, and has hands-on experience debugging robot behavior on-site with rigorous testing and staged releases.”

“Senior engineering leader in the Bay Area with experience spanning VMware, Hortonworks/Cloudera, Barracuda, and Palo Alto Networks, including leading open-source work (Apache Knox) and architecting large-scale security platforms. Has driven disaster recovery and cloud security products, designed Python microservices for Microsoft 365 security, and scaled teams (3x) while formalizing enterprise readiness practices with automated documentation using Notebook LLM.”

“Aspiring founder building an AI governance and compliance startup for the finance industry, focused on agents that monitor data lakes/lakehouses to detect security vulnerabilities, PII exposure, and governance issues in real time. Has already formed an S-corp, has not raised capital yet, and approaches idea validation through Minimum Lovable Product testing with potential clients.”
