Senior AI Engineer specializing in LLM agents, RAG, and scalable data platforms

7y exp

“ML/data engineer who owned an end-to-end production sales analytics pipeline at 15,000+ user scale, delivering ~50% compute reduction, ~80% faster reporting, and ~$1.2M impact. Also shipped a production RAG-based AI assistant over internal BigQuery/docs with evaluation metrics and safety guardrails, and built shared Python libraries to standardize reliability and accelerate engineering teams.”

“Full-stack engineer (T-Mobile experience) focused on authentication/session-management systems, with hands-on work optimizing token-validation flows and reducing latency by eliminating redundant API calls and adding caching. Brings strong production ownership with observability (Splunk/Grafana), Postgres data modeling/index tuning, and resilient async workflow design (idempotency, retries/backoff, queues).”

Senior Data Scientist specializing in analytics, experimentation, and BI on AWS

Austin, TX7y exp

“Data/ML practitioner focused on healthcare data quality and record linkage: analyzed 10M+ records, built anomaly detection and NLP-driven entity resolution, and automated AWS ETL/validation pipelines (Glue/Redshift/Lambda), cutting data errors by 40% and generating $500k in annual savings. Has hands-on experience with embeddings (Sentence Transformers/spaCy), FAISS vector search, and fine-tuning for domain-specific matching.”

“Backend engineer with hands-on ownership of Python/Flask microservices and recommendation systems across edtech and telecom. Deployed and operated real-time personalization/recommendation platforms on AWS EKS with Jenkins-based CI/CD, GitOps-style declarative configs, and strong observability practices. Has migration experience moving legacy mixed environments to modern containerized Kubernetes and built Kafka pipelines feeding ML services while managing schema evolution.”

“Backend/data platform engineer with production experience at Walmart and Molina Healthcare, building Python microservices on AWS (EKS + Lambda) for real-time inventory and recommendation systems. Strong in reliability/observability and incident leadership, plus modernizing legacy healthcare workflows and building resilient AWS Glue/PySpark pipelines with schema evolution and data quality controls.”

“AI engineer (2+ years; pursuing an online MS at UIUC) who has shipped an AI-powered voice screening platform end-to-end on GCP with strong production monitoring and measurable hiring-process impact (80% reduction in unqualified pass-through; ~50+ hours saved per role). Also built and deployed an AWS-based context-aware hybrid search system using OpenSearch as a vector store, and has hands-on experience with multi-agent LLM orchestration (ReAct) and structured-output guardrails.”

Mid-level Backend Software Engineer specializing in AI workflow automation for finance and healthcare

4y exp

“Backend/AI engineer with healthcare domain experience who built a patient journey analytics API (FastAPI/PostgreSQL/Snowflake/Redis) and debugged peak-hour latency down from ~900ms to ~50ms via indexing and query optimization. Shipped an LLM-powered clinical summary/recommendation assistant end-to-end and designed a multi-step risk evaluation agent workflow with safety guardrails against hallucinations and unsafe outputs.”

Junior Full-Stack Engineer specializing in real-time platforms and AI tools

Cambridge, MA3y exp

“Early-career full-stack engineer with unusual depth in mission-critical environments: helped build a cybersecurity operations platform from scratch as the third engineer and shipped it to the National Election Commission of South Korea. Also worked on defense-focused situational awareness software, combining React/WebGL frontend performance work with backend data transformation for real-time weather and map overlays.”

“Built and productionized an LLM-enabled system visualization web app at Longshot, designed modularly to pivot quickly to a mobile-friendly interface as customer needs changed. Experienced in diagnosing LLM/agentic workflow failures using observability, deterministic replay, and fault-tree root cause analysis. Also delivers developer-focused demos and trainings (including robotics deployment/mapping at Meta) and partners with sales as a technical closer, including for government clients by demonstrating failure modes and system modularity.”

“Infrastructure/DevOps-focused engineer working across Linux-based enterprise platforms that include IBM Power/AIX in a broader OpenShift/Kubernetes and cloud ecosystem. Built Azure DevOps CI/CD for containerized deployments and resolved a production deployment failure by tracing ImagePullBackOff to outdated registry credentials in Kubernetes secrets. Uses Terraform (with modular structure) plus Ansible to provision and standardize production environments with pipeline-based validation.”
