Mid-level Machine Learning Engineer specializing in Generative AI and MLOps

Missouri, USA3y exp

“LLM/agent engineer who has shipped production RAG chatbots in sustainability-focused domains, including a packaging recommendation assistant that standardized messy user inputs and used Pinecone-backed retrieval over product/regulatory data. Experienced orchestrating end-to-end ML workflows with Airflow and AWS Step Functions/Lambda, emphasizing reliability (property-based testing, circuit breakers, OpenTelemetry) and measurable performance (latency/cost). Partnered closely with non-technical leadership to ship 3 weeks early, driving adoption by 150+ businesses and ~20% reported waste reduction.”

Senior Data Scientist / ML Engineer specializing in GenAI, LLMs, and NLP

Texarkana, TX10y exp

“ML/NLP engineer focused on production GenAI and data linking systems: built a large-scale RAG pipeline over millions of support docs using LangChain/Pinecone and added a LangGraph-based validation layer to cut hallucinations ~40%. Also built scalable PySpark entity resolution (95%+ accuracy) and fine-tuned Sentence-BERT embeddings with contrastive learning for ~30% relevance lift, with strong CI/CD and observability practices (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus/Grafana).”

“Worked on payments and wallet transactions, with an emphasis on observability and root-cause analysis. Delivered end-to-end A/B testing optimization and implemented Jenkins-based CI/CD automation that reduced manual implementation to 35% and cut deployments to ~2 minutes, with attention to operational considerations like on-call/call rotations.”

Atulya Bist

Junior Data Scientist / Software Engineer specializing in LLM analytics and robotics

Los Angeles, CA3y exp

“Robotics/ML engineer who implemented TD3 and PPO in PyTorch to solve the challenging OpenAI Gymnasium humanoid-v5 MuJoCo task, including custom networks, rollout logic, and training scripts. Also has hands-on robotics coursework experience with ROS-based RRT motion planning on a real robotic arm, plus practical CI/CD and containerization experience (Docker, Jenkins, GitHub Actions). Currently exploring world models (VAE + sequence generator) using Euro Truck Simulator data.”

“Built and owned end-to-end production systems for a healthcare platform, including a predictive task recommendation feature (React + FastAPI + ML on AWS ECS) that cut backlog 20% and saved coordinators ~10 hours/week. Also productionized an AI-native RAG system (vector DB + LLM) delivering 40% faster query resolution, and led phased modernization of a monolithic FastAPI service into async microservices using feature flags and canary releases.”

“Built a production B2C behavioral interview system for job seekers using LangGraph/LangChain on AWS Bedrock with Nova models, plus a FastAPI backend and Vercel AI SDK frontend. Stands out for practical agent reliability work: local stress testing, OpenTelemetry-to-Datadog observability, token/cost monitoring, and guardrails to keep conversations on track and resistant to instruction override.”

Vagmin Yadav

Junior Software Engineer specializing in backend systems, ML pipelines, and DevOps

Pune, India2y exp

“TypeScript backend engineer in the robotics domain with hands-on experience building low-latency (20–40ms) production systems using RabbitMQ, Redis, and HA PostgreSQL (Patroni). Has owned end-to-end services supporting 15 clients via config-driven architecture, with strong CI/CD, automated testing, and observability (OpenTelemetry) practices, plus API versioning/deprecation using Keycloak auth.”

“Built Baioniq, an enterprise LLM platform for automating extraction from massive unstructured documents like contracts and insurance claims. They demonstrate unusually strong production depth in agentic AI—scaling to 100k+ requests/day, processing 1M+ claim documents, and improving extraction accuracy through rigorous RAG architecture, evaluation, and fallback design.”

Senior Distributed Systems Architect specializing in backend platforms and FinTech

Scottsdale, AZ12y exp

“Full-stack engineer who built an AI-powered visual product discovery feature end to end across web, mobile, backend, and ML integration. Particularly strong in TypeScript-first monorepo architecture, serverless AWS microservices, and productionizing computer vision/LLM pipelines with monitoring, prompt refinement, and human-in-the-loop quality controls.”

“Software engineer with experience at Striim and Amazon who ships end-to-end production systems across UI, backend, ML, and operations. Built a real-time PII detection capability for a streaming data platform by integrating Python ML inference into a Java monolith via gRPC sidecars, achieving ~3M events/hour throughput and ~93% accuracy, and helped drive enterprise adoption (Fiserv, CVS). Also modernized internal Amazon tooling for multi-region scale with modularization and fully automated deployments.”

“Backend/platform engineer with experience across edtech, logistics, and AWS internal systems—owned a production course recommender end-to-end (model serving + APIs + caching/observability), delivering +30% CTR and -20% latency. Has scaled real-time delivery visibility/rerouting on Kubernetes/EKS to sub-200ms P95 during demand spikes and built billion-events/day telemetry pipelines on AWS (Kinesis Firehose, Lambda, S3, Redshift) with schema evolution, dedupe, and replay support.”
