“Robotics software engineer with a Master’s thesis building an end-to-end monocular-vision pick-and-place controller for construction use cases on TurtleBot3 + OpenManipulator, spanning synthetic data creation, transfer learning, simulation in Gazebo, and real-robot deployment. Leveraged ROS distributed architecture to run two heavy AI models across networked GPUs to achieve usable real-time performance, and has production CI/CD experience as a Senior Software Engineer in AI/analytics.”

“AI/ML engineer with experience at Northern Trust and Persistent Systems building production LLM + RAG systems for regulated financial use cases, including liquidity forecasting, anomaly detection, and credit scoring. Emphasizes compliance-first design with explainability (SHAP), traceability (MLflow), and hallucination controls (FAISS + citation-grounded prompting), and has delivered drift-triggered retraining pipelines using Airflow and Kubernetes while translating model outputs into business-ready marketing segments.”

“Backend-leaning full-stack engineer who has built and operated event-driven microservices platforms (FastAPI/React/TypeScript, Kafka, Kubernetes) and internal DevOps tooling. Delivered measurable impact through user-feedback-driven iteration (WebSockets update mechanism cutting redundant API calls ~30%) and operational improvements (deployment monitoring dashboard reducing rollback time ~40%), with strong focus on reliability, observability, and data consistency at scale.”

“Software engineer and University of Chicago graduate teaching assistant who built a full-stack internal analytics dashboard (React/TypeScript + Node/Express) and worked in RabbitMQ-based microservices with Prometheus/Grafana observability. Also created an AI-powered ERD diagram generator (React + MermaidJS + OpenAI) adopted by students to save hours on database assignments, using validation loops to ensure valid Mermaid output.”

“Healthcare data/NLP practitioner with experience at UnitedHealthcare building production ML systems that connect unstructured call center transcripts and medical notes to structured claims data. Has delivered measurable impact (25% classification accuracy lift; ~30% relevance improvement) using classical NLP, embeddings (Sentence-BERT + FAISS), and AWS SageMaker deployments with robust validation and drift monitoring.”

“LLM solutions practitioner with SOC/alert-triage experience who takes LLM prototypes to production using RAG (Pinecone), FastAPI services, guardrails, CI/CD, monitoring, and robust fallback logic. Known for rapid real-time debugging of embedding/vector and agent workflow issues, and for driving adoption through code-first workshops and sales-aligned custom demos with measurable improvements (35% faster triage; 40% increase in correct tool usage).”

“Enterprise B2B SaaS customer success/marketing-focused leader with ~10 years in martech and analytics (Salesforce, GA, HubSpot, Gainsight, SEMrush, WordPress). Drives renewals and land-and-expand growth by combining data-driven campaign optimization (webinars, gated content, SEO/UTM tracking) with strong cross-functional and stakeholder management; reports 95% renewals with upsells and examples of scaling accounts from bronze to platinum.”

Director-level Engineering Leader specializing in AI Platforms for Enterprise B2B SaaS

San Francisco, CA15y exp

“Technical leader/player-coach who architected and shipped an end-to-end computer vision pricing system for a major North American auto seller, using Go + Ray + AWS SageMaker in a low-latency distributed inference architecture. Strong in production governance (logs/tracing/guardrails/AppSec), reliability incident ownership (DNS limits affecting 20% traffic), and measurable delivery acceleration (deployment cycle 16→4 days; delivery speed 5→2 days) through process optimization and AI-assisted enablement.”

“Built practical automation systems spanning an NLP-based news classification pipeline and a WhatsApp interaction agent. Shows strong instincts around production reliability—using structured outputs, schema validation, idempotency, retries, and clarification flows to prevent bad actions in real-world messaging workflows.”
