Mid-level Machine Learning Engineer specializing in LLMs and RAG for healthcare

Remote, USA2y exp

“AI Engineer (Medtronic) who deployed a production RAG-based clinical assistant grounded in curated biomedical literature (no patient-identifiable data). Deep hands-on experience orchestrating and hardening LLM workflows with LangChain/LangGraph, including stateful agentic flows, rigorous testing, and evaluation; reports a 72% accuracy improvement through retrieval enhancements (query rewriting, multi-query expansion, MMR reranking).”

“Backend/data-systems SWE (2 years) who has built production ETL/streaming workflows (Kafka, Debezium, Elasticsearch) and troubleshot real SQL performance regressions caused by indexing/type issues. Also ships full-stack personal projects in Next.js App Router + TypeScript with Postgres, emphasizing reliability via constraints, idempotency, and strong observability (Grafana/Kibana).”

“Backend/microservices engineer with fintech loan-lifecycle experience operating low-latency (sub-250ms) services in production using Kafka, idempotent transaction design, and Datadog observability. Also built an end-to-end LLM chatbot (React + Flask) with a decoupled model integration layer (FLAN-T5 via Hugging Face) and has experience designing partner-facing REST APIs with OAuth2/JWT and Swagger documentation.”
