Texarkana, TX10y exp

“ML/NLP engineer focused on production GenAI and data linking systems: built a large-scale RAG pipeline over millions of support docs using LangChain/Pinecone and added a LangGraph-based validation layer to cut hallucinations ~40%. Also built scalable PySpark entity resolution (95%+ accuracy) and fine-tuned Sentence-BERT embeddings with contrastive learning for ~30% relevance lift, with strong CI/CD and observability practices (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus/Grafana).”

“Built and deployed a production healthcare medical review agent that automates call-transcript summarization and medication reconciliation using a hybrid deterministic + LangGraph-orchestrated LLM workflow. Demonstrates strong reliability engineering (guardrails, schema validation, confidence thresholds, golden/adversarial eval, Langfuse monitoring) in a regulated environment, delivering 60% lower latency and 70%+ efficiency gains while partnering closely with care managers and operations.”

San Francisco, CA25y exp

“Engineering player-coach who recently shipped an agent-based workflow to extract key info from unstructured web data (browser agents + CDP) and populate daily digests/calendars, owning architecture through testing. Also built a Flask-based LLM evaluation and regression testing system using G-Eval/Confident AI dashboards, and applies a rigorous, research-driven approach to selecting third-party tools with stakeholder buy-in; has healthcare ops/onboarding workflow experience at Vivio Health.”

“Built and owned end-to-end production systems for a healthcare platform, including a predictive task recommendation feature (React + FastAPI + ML on AWS ECS) that cut backlog 20% and saved coordinators ~10 hours/week. Also productionized an AI-native RAG system (vector DB + LLM) delivering 40% faster query resolution, and led phased modernization of a monolithic FastAPI service into async microservices using feature flags and canary releases.”

“Built and deployed an on-prem, HIPAA-compliant LLM pipeline for oncology-focused clinical note generation and decision support, emphasizing grounded differential diagnosis and explainable reasoning via RAG to reduce hallucinations. Also created a LangGraph-based multi-agent academic paper search system integrating Tavily, arXiv, and Semantic Scholar with an orchestrator that routes tasks to specialized sub-agents.”

“Built a production LLM-powered RAG agent for healthcare/insurance operations that retrieves and summarizes patient medical documents with grounded citations, scaling to ~4.5M records. Addressed medical shorthand and terminology by fine-tuning ~120 lightweight DistilBERT models by specialty and validating entities against SNOMED/RxNorm, while using SHAP/LIME and human-in-the-loop review to make decisions explainable to stakeholders.”

“Built and shipped a production LLM-powered multi-agent RAG system to automate complex internal support workflows, integrating tool execution (SQL/APIs) with validation guardrails to reduce hallucinations. Optimized for real-world latency and cost via model routing, caching, and async parallel tool calls, and enforced reliability with CI-gated golden test sets derived from anonymized production queries.”

O Fallon, MO6y exp

“Built and owned an end-to-end LLM-powered fraud investigation assistant that automated case summaries and risk analysis, cutting analyst investigation/documentation time by 40%. Stands out for translating RAG concepts into a production-grade internal platform with strong evaluation, monitoring, and reusable Python service architecture that improved both analyst trust and engineering velocity.”

“Built and shipped open-source LLM/RAG systems, including a generative AI assistant grounded on ~30,000 scraped university web pages, improving response accuracy ~30% by moving from TF-IDF-only retrieval to a hybrid sentence-transformer approach with fallback controls. Also partnered with non-technical leadership at Securi.ai to deliver real-time predictive analytics dashboards (Elasticsearch + Jira/ServiceNow) that reduced project overhead by 18%.”

“Robotics-focused Python developer who built autonomous navigation for a differential-drive robot using onboard vision and AprilTag detection, including pose estimation and coordinate frame transformations for localization and motion planning. Also has practical backend performance experience using Redis TTL caching to speed responses and reduce server load, plus basic PostgreSQL query/index optimization.”

San Francisco Bay Area, CA8y exp

“Built and shipped PromptGuard, a production middleware proxy that secures GenAI RAG/agent systems against prompt injection and unsafe tool use using risk scoring, graded policy actions, and least-privilege tool gating. Also replaced LangChain abstractions with a custom state-machine runner for a production voice agent to reduce latency and improve traceability, and delivered a clinic call assistant by converting front-desk/doctor requirements into scenario-based guardrails and measurable evals.”

“Built and shipped production LLM agents that automate document processing and decision workflows, with a strong focus on reliability, guardrails, and measurable business impact. Stands out for combining RAG, tool calling, evals/monitoring, and ERP integration to deliver 30-35% manual effort reduction and higher throughput without additional headcount.”

“Built a production agentic AI system to automate data science work using a layered architecture (executive-summary handling, tool-based execution, and on-the-fly code generation). Demonstrates strong end-to-end agent development practices including RAG with vector databases, prompt engineering, and multi-method evaluation (LLM-as-judge/human/code-based), plus Airflow-based orchestration for ML data pipelines and close collaboration with business end users.”

“LLM/MLOps engineer who has shipped production systems for complaint intelligence and contact-center NLU, including LoRA/RLHF-tuned LLaMA models deployed on GKE with vLLM and Vertex AI batch pipelines to BigQuery. Demonstrates strong practical focus on hallucination control, data imbalance mitigation, and production monitoring (Langfuse) with regression testing and canary rollouts, plus experience orchestrating complex workflows with AWS Step Functions.”
