Mid-level AI Engineer specializing in Generative AI and multimodal RAG

Morristown, NJ3y exp

“Full-stack engineer who helped build and launch an internal genAI platform called GAIL, supporting multiple LLMs, confidential document upload for RAG pipelines, and collaborative chat. Worked across FastAPI, React/TypeScript, AWS/DynamoDB, and Azure, with notable ownership of backend RAG logic, MCP integration architecture, and frontend fixes that improved chat usability.”

“AI/ML engineer who shipped a production blood-test report understanding and personalized supplement recommendation product, using a LangGraph multi-agent pipeline on AWS serverless with OCR via Bedrock and RAG over vetted clinical research. Also built end-to-end recommender system pipelines at ASANTe using Airflow (ingestion, embeddings/features, training, registry, batch scoring/monitoring) with KPI reporting to Tableau, with a strong focus on safety, evaluation, and measurable reliability.”

Mid-level Robotics & AI Engineer specializing in autonomous systems

Tulsa, OK4y exp

“Robotics software engineer with deep ROS2 experience who owned the perception stack for an automated C. elegans manipulation system—building YOLO-based worm segmentation plus OCR label reading and integrating it into a MoveIt2 pipeline with real-time latency constraints. Also deploying ROS2 on an AgileX Tracer with ZED depth camera for vision-based person following and working on SLAM/sensor fusion, with additional production-style ML deployment experience (Dockerized FastAPI + PyTorch on AWS EC2 with CI/CD).”

“Hands-on LLM/RAG engineer with production experience improving retrieval quality and stability by addressing messy data, vector DB inaccuracy, and top-K issues—ultimately redesigning to hybrid search with tuned keyword/semantic weighting and MCP-based data supplementation. Also brings strong AKS/Kubernetes deployment experience, optimizing CI/CD speed via lightweight local Docker validation and decomposing pods to avoid full rebuilds, plus a metrics-driven approach to agent/workflow testing and traceability.”

Senior Product Manager specializing in AI workflows and healthcare SaaS

Remote, USA8y exp

“Homegrown product/program leader with 8 years of experience who has repeatedly found high-cost operational pain points and turned them into scalable product wins. Most notably, they built an address-validation and fraud-prevention system in non-emergency medical transportation that produced multi-million-dollar savings, and previously led an AI-assisted OCR workflow that raised accuracy to 98.6% and drove major efficiency gains.”

“Game/VR simulation developer who built and shipped multiple VR training levels (e.g., nursing and scientific method) at VXR Labs, owning level implementation and backend logic. Experienced in Unreal Engine 5 Blueprints prototyping (including a horde mode) and in designing tightly gated, step-based educational experiences while collaborating closely with educators/subject-matter experts to balance realism with VR feasibility.”

“Backend/platform engineer with strong ownership of production systems, including a full Azure migration from a VM-based monolith to a containerized, event-driven microservices architecture. They combine cloud infrastructure, LLM/RAG optimization, and pragmatic stakeholder management, with measurable wins including 90% infra cost reduction, faster deployments, and significantly improved latency and token efficiency.”

“Backend engineer with fintech/AI startup experience who built an Azure serverless, event-driven pipeline for large-scale crypto sentiment analysis and semantic search (OCR/NLP to vector search) and integrated LLM + blockchain data for predictive insights. Demonstrated measurable impact (25% lower retrieval latency, 10% fewer data errors, 15% higher engagement) and has led safe microservices migrations with strong security and reliability practices.”

“Research assistant who single-handedly built and integrated an indoor autonomous wheelchair system using NVIDIA Jetson Nano, LiDAR, and a stereo camera. Implemented a multi-sensor perception pipeline (OpenCV/PCL) with ROS-based modular nodes, TF frame management, and robust debugging via RViz/rosbag, plus simulation testing in Gazebo and Dockerized environments for portability.”

“Senior Data Scientist in consulting who has built production RAG systems for insurance/annuity document search at large scale (100K+ PDF pages), emphasizing grounded answers, guardrails, and low-latency retrieval. Experienced in end-to-end MLOps for LLM apps—monitoring, evaluation sets, drift handling, and safe rollouts—and in orchestrating complex pipelines with Prefect/Airflow and deploying services on Kubernetes.”

“Backend/AI engineer who has shipped production LLM systems end-to-end, including an AI request-routing service (FastAPI + BART MNLI + OpenAI/Gemini) that improved accuracy ~25% after launch via eval-driven prompt/category iteration. Also built an enterprise document intelligence/RAG platform on Azure (Blob/SharePoint/Teams ingestion, OCR/NLP chunking, embeddings in Azure Cognitive Search) with PII guardrails (Presidio), confidence gating, and scalable event-driven pipelines handling millions of documents.”

Intern Full-Stack Developer specializing in web applications and data pipelines

Milledgeville, GA0y exp

“New-grad full-stack developer with strong self-directed project work spanning collaborative web apps, AI-assisted CRM features, and LLM-supported thesis development. Particularly notable for combining modern web tooling, real-time collaboration, and pragmatic AI usage while also showing initiative in ambiguous research environments by automating manual ETL work with Python and OCR.”

“Built a production LLM/RAG document extraction and game/quiz content workflow using LLaMA 2, LangChain/LangGraph, and FAISS, achieving ~94% accuracy and reducing turnaround from hours to minutes. Demonstrates strong applied MLOps/orchestration (CI/CD, MLflow, Databricks/PySpark), robust handling of noisy/variable document layouts (layout chunking + OCR fallbacks), and practical reliability practices (human-in-the-loop routing, drift monitoring, A/B testing).”

Mid-Level Software Engineer specializing in cloud-native microservices

Boston, MA3y exp

“Built and shipped both a solo real-time multiplayer Spades game (TypeScript monorepo with shared client/server engine) and a production internal LLM-powered document Q&A tool for a SaaS company. Demonstrates strong RAG pipeline design (Pinecone + embeddings + reranking), rigorous eval/regression practices, and pragmatic data ingestion/observability work across Confluence, Notion, and messy PDFs/OCR—backed by clear metric improvements (P@1 61%→78%, escalations 40%→22%).”

“Full-stack engineer with hands-on ownership of a production AI knowledge assistant used by 10,000+ daily users.
