“Backend Python engineer who owned an AI-driven healthcare staffing matching service, rebuilding the model inference/data pipeline to eliminate blocking bottlenecks and cutting API latency by ~33%. Experienced running Python services on Kubernetes with GitOps/ArgoCD, and has executed a cloud-to-on-prem rollout under tight resource and tooling constraints while also building event-driven streaming updates via a message broker.”

“Backend/ML engineer who built an end-to-end greenwashing detection system for corporate ESG reports: Python preprocessing pipeline, logistic regression + fine-tuned DistilBERT models, and a Dockerized FastAPI inference service optimized for latency. Internship experience maintaining GitLab CI/CD for TypeScript services (Jest/Playwright), improving pipeline stability and test determinism; familiar with Kubernetes/GitOps concepts and AWS CLI/SSO.”

“Built a production internal LLM/RAG assistant at CVS Health to cut time spent searching long policy and clinical guideline PDFs, combining fine-tuned BERT/GPT models with FAISS retrieval and a FastAPI service on AWS. Demonstrates strong real-world reliability work (document cleanup, hallucination controls, monitoring/drift tracking with MLflow) and close collaboration with non-technical clinical operations teams via demos and feedback-driven iteration.”

“GenAI/LLM engineer who recently built a production compliance assistant at State Farm for KYC/AML and regulatory teams, using AWS Bedrock + LangChain with Textract/Lambda pipelines to extract fields, tag risk, and summarize long documents. Implemented RAG, strict structured outputs, and human-in-the-loop guardrails, and reports automating ~80% of documentation work while reducing review time by ~40%.”

“Robotics engineer who built an autonomous driving mobile robot software stack at Boston University using ROS on an NVIDIA Jetson Nano, integrating LiDAR + stereo vision with YOLOv5 and a probabilistic occupancy grid for planning.
