Intern AI Engineer specializing in LLMs, NLP, and conversational search

Chicago, Illinois1y exp

“Student building a production trip-planning LLM agent (LangChain + Streamlit) that routes user queries across multiple tools (maps/places/Wikipedia). Implemented zero-shot multi-label intent detection with priority rules to handle multi-intent requests, and collaborates with a startup product manager to shape tone, features, and user experience.”

“AI/ML manager who has deployed production NLP in healthcare—mining unstructured clinical notes and combining them with structured patient data to predict readmissions, with strong emphasis on data alignment and terminology normalization. Also experienced operationalizing ML with Airflow/MLflow and AWS Step Functions/SageMaker, plus stakeholder-facing Power BI dashboards (e.g., marketing customer segmentation).”

“Hands-on LLM/RAG engineer with production experience improving retrieval quality and stability by addressing messy data, vector DB inaccuracy, and top-K issues—ultimately redesigning to hybrid search with tuned keyword/semantic weighting and MCP-based data supplementation. Also brings strong AKS/Kubernetes deployment experience, optimizing CI/CD speed via lightweight local Docker validation and decomposing pods to avoid full rebuilds, plus a metrics-driven approach to agent/workflow testing and traceability.”

“AI Engineer with production experience building an LLM-powered conversational scheduling assistant (rules-based + OpenAI GPT agents) and improving responsiveness by ~40% through architecture optimization. Strong in orchestration (Airflow), containerized deployments, and data quality (Great Expectations/PySpark), with prior work automating population health reporting pipelines (Azure Data Factory → Snowflake) and delivering insights via Tableau to non-technical stakeholders.”

“Data scientist at Guardian Airwaves building a RAG-powered quiz generator using Grok AI, with hands-on experience solving hard document-ingestion problems (PDFs with images/tables) via unstructured.io and LlamaIndex. Has deployed production systems on AWS EC2 and brings a pragmatic approach to agent reliability (human-in-the-loop, LLM-based eval, latency/cost metrics) while effectively translating RAG concepts to non-technical stakeholders.”

“Built and shipped a production LLM-powered decision system that replaced a slow, inconsistent manual review process by turning messy text into structured, auditable outputs behind an API. Demonstrates strong end-to-end ownership of reliability and operations (schema validation, retries/fallbacks, latency/cost controls, monitoring for drift) and a disciplined approach to evaluation and regression testing. Experienced collaborating with non-technical reviewers to define success criteria and deliver interpretable outputs that get adopted.”

“Backend engineer at Esurgi focused on real-time clinical workflow systems, improving API reliability, performance, and security. Has hands-on experience with FastAPI/Pydantic, JWT/RBAC and row-level data isolation, plus Kafka-based real-time processing—including fixing duplicate-processing edge cases via idempotency and offset management and rolling out refactors safely with feature flags and staged deployments.”

“AI Engineer at DXC Technology who has shipped production LLM/NLP systems on AWS (SageMaker, FastAPI) and optimized them for real-time latency and unpredictable traffic using quantization, batching, and autoscaling. Strong MLOps and monitoring discipline (MLflow, CloudWatch, SageMaker Model Monitor) and proven business impact—delivered models with 92% predictive accuracy and cut enterprise decision-making time by 30% through close collaboration with product managers.”

“Paid media specialist with nonprofit/fundraising experience at Keelworks Foundation, running high-spend acquisition across Google, Meta, and LinkedIn (and familiar with TikTok). Uses CRM-driven funnel segmentation and disciplined A/B testing across ads, landing pages, and email flows; has recovered stalled performance and delivered ~10% donation growth while tracking deep donor-quality KPIs (lead-to-donor, retention, avg gift).”
