Vetted Object Detection Professionals

“Robotics software/ML engineer who led an end-to-end transformer-based real-time 3D shape prediction system for a tendon-driven continuum robot on a KUKA arm, including ROS2 multi-camera RGB-D data collection, multi-view calibration, and optimized ICP point-cloud registration. Also optimized an online sensing + motion planning loop for robot-assisted surgery using Bayesian Hilbert maps and A* search, and has Gazebo + RL experience for a robotic salamander.”

“Built and deployed an LLM-powered claims-document summarization system (insurance domain) that cut agent review time from 4–5 minutes to under 2 minutes and saved 1,200+ hours per quarter. Hands-on across orchestration and production infrastructure (Airflow retraining DAGs, Kubernetes, SageMaker endpoints, FastAPI) and recent RAG workflows using n8n + Pinecone, with a strong focus on reliability, cost, and explainability for non-technical stakeholders.”

“IBM engineer who built and deployed a production RAG-based LLM assistant using LangChain/FAISS with a fine-tuned LLaMA model, served via FastAPI microservices on Kubernetes, achieving 99%+ uptime. Demonstrates strong practical expertise in reducing hallucinations (semantic chunking + metadata-driven retrieval) and managing latency, plus mature MLOps practices (Airflow/dbt pipelines, MLflow tracking, monitoring, A/B and shadow deployments) and effective collaboration with non-technical stakeholders.”

“Robotics software engineer focused on real-time state estimation and perception pipelines, with hands-on C++/ROS work improving LiDAR+IMU odometry stability via an iterative EKF and careful timing/synchronization fixes. Has integrated LIO-SAM, built multi-robot communication bridges (ROS + custom UDP with heartbeat/fallback), and uses Gazebo + Docker for repeatable testing, backed by CI/CD experience maintaining Azure DevOps pipelines at Cognizant.”

“Robotics software candidate focused on ROS 2 simulation work: integrated a SolidWorks-designed truck + dual-trailer CAD model into ROS 2 Humble by building URDF/meshes, fixing coordinate/joint axis issues, adding ros2_control + Gazebo integration, and implementing teleop. Also built a Python P-controller node for autonomous pose navigation and has experience with common robotics/embedded communication protocols and Docker-based ROS environment setup.”

“Robotics/AI candidate who built an AI-driven landmark location tool during a summer internship at Mobile Drive, combining YOLOv5 object detection with OpenStreetMap-based geolocation to handle dense, cluttered urban environments. Also researched deploying LLM-based agents on constrained hardware using quantization plus LoRA/continuous learning, improving accuracy from ~80% to ~92%, with an emphasis on production logging for reliability.”

“Senior design robotics engineer on a "Grocery Robot" project selected for the final round of the $10K SICK Challenge, owning ROS2 system design and behavior-tree-based task orchestration across multiple independently developed modules. Also implemented I2C/ESP32 collision avoidance, IK control for a robotic arm, and a Node.js ordering system, with additional research experience using RPLIDAR-based SLAM.”

“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.”

“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. Demonstrated real-time systems rigor (multi-rate ROS nodes, 50ms sync, profiling/instrumentation) and optimized YOLOv5 with TensorRT, citing ~30% accuracy improvement; also taught ROS workshops to 50+ students.”

“ML/NLP practitioner focused on financial-services document intelligence and compliance workflows—built an end-to-end pipeline to classify documents and extract financial entities from loan applications, emails, and statements stored in S3/internal databases. Strong in entity resolution/record linkage and in productionizing pipelines with GitHub Actions CI/CD, testing, data validation, and Docker, plus semantic search using OpenAI embeddings and a vector database.”

“ML/AI engineer with defense and commercial analytics experience: deployed a real-time aerial object detection system at Dynetics (YOLOv5 + TorchServe in Docker on AWS EC2) with drift-triggered retraining and 99.5% uptime, tackling ambiguous targets and weather degradation. Previously at Fractal Analytics, built and explained a churn prediction model for marketing stakeholders using SHAP and delivered it via a Flask API into dashboards, driving a reported 22% attrition reduction.”

“Computer-vision practitioner and educator who built a real-time license plate recognition system (OpenCV/Python + KNN) optimized to run on a Raspberry Pi with camera integration. Also designs hands-on deep learning coursework, incorporating recent transformer-based vision research (Vision Transformers) into practical labs on real datasets.”

“Infrastructure/operations engineer with hands-on production IBM Power/AIX (AIX 7.x, VIOS, HMC) and PowerHA/HACMP clustering experience, including DLPAR changes, failover testing, and incident recovery. Also delivers modern cloud DevOps work—GitHub Actions CI/CD for Docker-to-Kubernetes on AWS and Terraform-based provisioning of core AWS infrastructure (VPC/EKS/RDS/IAM) with controlled rollouts and drift checks.”

“Built and productionized an LLM-powered support/knowledge pipeline using embeddings and retrieval (RAG) to deliver more grounded, higher-quality responses while reducing manual effort. Focused on real-world reliability and performance—adding structured validation/guardrails, optimizing vector search and context size for latency/scale, and monitoring failure patterns in production. Experienced with orchestration via LangChain for LLM workflows and Airflow for production data/ML pipelines, and iterates closely with operations stakeholders through demos and feedback.”
