Mid-level AI/ML Engineer specializing in Generative AI and LLM-powered NLP

Boston, MA3y exp

“LLM/AI engineer who built a production automated document-understanding pipeline on Azure using a grounded RAG layer, designed to reduce manual review time for unstructured financial documents. Demonstrates strong real-world scaling and reliability practices (Service Bus queueing, Kubernetes autoscaling, observability, retries/circuit breakers) plus rigorous evaluation (shadow testing, replaying traffic, multilingual edge-case suites) and stakeholder-friendly, evidence-based explainability.”

“Software development intern who owned and shipped a production-used WeChat mini-program (JavaScript + MongoDB) serving ~3,000 users in a semester. Emphasizes maintainable UI architecture through modular, reusable components and clear separation between UI presentation and data/business logic, with a performance mindset (caching/reducing redundant updates).”

Entry-level Software Engineer specializing in systems, data, and full-stack development

Hyderabad, India1y exp

“Built a production-style hackathon prototype for analyzing healthcare facility data and identifying medical deserts via natural-language queries. Stands out for a pragmatic applied-AI approach: separating retrieval from LLM reasoning, using structured JSON outputs, and designing fallbacks and data-quality checks to keep recommendations grounded and reliable.”

“At ReferU.AI, designed and deployed an agentic RAG pipeline that automates multi-jurisdiction legal document drafting, emphasizing hallucination reduction through hybrid retrieval, validation agents, guardrails, and iterative regeneration. Experienced with orchestration frameworks (especially CrewAI) and rigorous testing/evaluation practices including human-in-the-loop review, adversarial testing, and production metrics/logging.”

Mid-level IT & Cloud Security Specialist specializing in GRC, SOC workflows, and agentic AI automation

Petersburg, VA4y exp

“Builder/creator who ships practical AI automations and content workflows: created a no-backend website that uses ChatGPT to generate AI agents/manual workflows, and built an inbound/outbound receptionist using n8n and Retell AI (later migrated to Retell workflows). Also produces an AI-written/produced podcast with 55+ hosts and uses tools like Descript and Sora with make.com for batch content creation and scheduling.”

Junior Full-Stack Engineer specializing in LLM-powered products

Washington, D.C.3y exp

“Built multiple systems from scratch at DSSD and Aglint, including an NGO sustainability reporting dashboard and a production LLM-powered phone screening agent using Twilio/Retell AI with RAG grounded in PostgreSQL candidate/job data. Strong focus on real-world reliability: guardrails, monitoring, and lightweight eval/regression loops that reduced recruiter score overrides by ~30%. Currently on OPT through May 2026 (plans STEM OPT extension) and committed to relocating to NYC for in-person work; seeking $90k–$120k base with meaningful equity for founding engineer roles.”

Keeravani Chekuri

Screened

Mid-level AI/ML Engineer specializing in LLM systems and MLOps

Boston, MA3y exp

“Built and deployed an AI tutoring assistant end-to-end at Nexora School, spanning discovery with school districts, multi-agent LangGraph/RAG architecture, AWS Bedrock migration, and post-launch stabilization. Stands out for combining hands-on LLM systems engineering with strong educator-facing trust building, FERPA-driven architecture decisions, and disciplined production practices around evals, logging, and messy document ingestion.”

“Built and deployed an LLM-to-SQL automation system in a closed/internal environment, using a retriever–reranker–validator architecture on Kubernetes with strong security controls (semantic + rule-based validation and RBAC), achieving 99% uptime and cutting manual query time ~40%. Also worked on genomic sequence classification and semantic search workflows, orchestrating data prep with Airflow, tracking/deploying with MLflow, and optimizing distributed multi-GPU training on a university Kubernetes cluster.”

“At Provenbase, built and shipped a production LLM-powered semantic search and candidate matching platform (RAG with GPT-4/Gemini, multi-agent orchestration, Elasticsearch vector search) to scale sourcing across 10M+ candidate records and 1000+ data sources. Drove sub-second performance, cut LLM spend 30% with routing/caching, and improved recruiting outcomes (+45% sourcing accuracy; +38% visibility of underrepresented talent) through bias-aware ranking and tight collaboration with recruiting stakeholders.”

Junior Machine Learning Engineer specializing in multimodal systems and LLMs

Jersey City, NJ2y exp

“Built and productionized a domain-specific LLM-powered RAG knowledge assistant at JerseyStem for answering questions over large internal document corpora, owning the full stack from FAISS retrieval and LoRA/QLoRA fine-tuning to AWS autoscaling GPU deployment. Drove measurable gains (28% accuracy lift, 25% latency reduction) and improved reliability through hybrid retrieval, grounded decoding, preference-model reranking, and Airflow-orchestrated pipelines (35% faster runtime), while partnering closely with non-technical stakeholders to define success metrics and ensure adoption.”

Meghana Chowdary Borra

Junior Machine Learning Engineer specializing in predictive modeling and GenAI RAG systems

Buffalo, New York2y exp

“LLM engineer who built and deployed an emotionally intelligent AAC communication system using an emotion-aware RAG pipeline (Empathetic Dialogues + GoEmotions) and a PEFT-adapted model. Experienced with LangChain/LangGraph and custom Python orchestration, focusing on reliability (guards, schema validation, fallbacks), latency optimization, and rigorous evaluation (automatic metrics + human-in-the-loop), with a reported 18% user satisfaction improvement.”

Aneri Patel

Junior Machine Learning Engineer specializing in LLM fine-tuning and semantic retrieval

Washington, D.C.2y exp

“Backend engineer with legal-tech and AI workflow experience: built JurisAI, an end-to-end legal research system using OCR + embeddings + Pinecone vector search to deliver citation-grounded LLM answers with safe failure modes (~90% recall@K). Also led a GW Law metadata migration into Caspio with batch validation and parallel rollout, and has strong FastAPI/GCP production reliability and observability practices.”
