Vetted Natural Language Processing Professionals

“AI engineer with experience taking a GPT-4-powered GenAI career coach toward production on Azure AI Foundry, re-architecting the backend with hybrid (vector + keyword) search and RAG optimizations to cut latency by 50%. Also has client-facing TCS experience building healthcare ETL pipelines and delivering error-free monthly reports, plus current work analyzing agentic system reasoning traces and guardrail drift as an AI research fellow.”

“Data/ML engineer in financial services (Northern Trust) who built a production RAG-based LLM system to connect structured transaction/portfolio data with unstructured market and internal documents for risk teams. Strong in end-to-end pipelines (AWS Glue/Airflow/PySpark), entity resolution, and taking models from prototype to reliable daily production with performance tuning (LoRA + TensorRT) and monitoring.”

“Recent McCombs School of Business (UT Austin) Post Graduate Program graduate in Data Science & Business Analytics with hands-on project experience spanning stock clustering/segmentation and hotel booking-cancellation prediction. Strong in end-to-end analysis workflows (EDA, cleaning, feature engineering) and rigorous model comparison/selection, with exposure to boosting methods and imbalanced-data techniques; limited experience so far with embeddings/vector databases and production deployment.”

“Built and shipped a production RAG system (“TROJAN KNOWLEDGE”) for answering questions over technical PDFs, using a 3-stage retrieval stack (BM25 + FAISS + cross-encoder) to lift F1 from 71% to 84%. Drove major performance gains with a 3-level cache (memory/Redis/disk) cutting latency from ~200ms to ~10ms, and added Prometheus/Grafana monitoring plus LangChain-based fallback logic to handle OpenAI rate limits under load.”

“AI/backend engineer who fine-tuned and deployed a production LLM chatbot using a LangChain + FAISS RAG pipeline, improving latency with PEFT/LoRA and driving strong business impact (40% customer adoption; 92% satisfaction). Also served as technical lead on a data aggregation system for underwriting/quoting, introducing GraphQL for more efficient, maintainable querying and applying CDC to keep cached ranking data fresh at scale.”

“Built and deployed a production RAG pipeline at PNC Financial Services to let risk/compliance analysts query millions of internal financial documents in natural language, reducing manual search and speeding regulatory validation. Demonstrates deep practical experience with large-scale document ingestion/OCR cleanup, retrieval performance tuning (hierarchical indexing, caching), and LLM reliability controls (grounding, citations, abstention), plus cloud orchestration on Azure and AWS.”

“AI/LLM engineer with healthcare domain experience who built a production clinical support “chart bot” for Molina, including PHI-safe ingestion of 200k+ PDF policies, vector retrieval, and a fine-tuned LLaMA served via vLLM on ECS Fargate. Demonstrated measurable performance wins (HNSW + namespace partitioning; 30% inference latency reduction) and a rigorous evaluation/monitoring approach, while partnering closely with nurses and operations teams to shape workflows and guardrails.”

“LLM/agent engineer at USAA who built a production GPT-4o RAG conversational assistant for financial analysts, focused on regulatory interpretation and internal documentation search. Emphasizes compliance-grade reliability with strict grounding, safe fallbacks, and full auditability via MLflow/DVC plus human-in-the-loop review; reports ~45% reduction in ticket resolution time.”
