Vetted Pinecone Professionals

“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).”

“Full-stack engineer who built and shipped an AI-powered internal knowledge search system for APL Services, including document ingestion into a vector database, a Python backend, and a React/TypeScript chat-style UI with source citations for trust. Improved production reliability by migrating from Streamlit Cloud to GCP with containerization and scaling controls to eliminate cold-start friction; also co-led a Mensa chapter website redesign as Digital Communications Committee co-chair.”

Mid-level AI/Backend Engineer specializing in RAG and data platforms

Dallas, TX7y exp

“Built and shipped a production LLM-powered financial Q&A interface that extracts precise numeric data from PDFs using a hybrid AWS Textract + LLM normalization pipeline, with confidence gating and guardrails to prevent unreliable answers. Experienced with LangChain-based RAG orchestration (chunking, memory, structured outputs) and collaborated closely with PMs/analysts on IRS Form 990 extraction requirements.”

Shrinivas Bhusannavar

Mid-level AI Engineer specializing in agentic LLM systems and RAG platforms

San Jose, CA5y exp

“Built and shipped Serrano AI, a multi-tenant SaaS conversational AI platform that automates Odoo ERP workflows and lets ops/finance/supply-chain teams query ERP data in natural language. Implemented a multi-agent architecture (LangChain/LangGraph/CrewAI) with hybrid RAG over ERP schemas, deployed on Heroku/Vercel with production observability, cutting reporting time by ~80% while addressing hallucinations, latency, and schema complexity.”

Bhavishyasai Chigurupati

Mid-Level Data/ML Engineer specializing in Generative AI and cloud data platforms

Overland Park, KS5y exp

“Built and productionized an LLM-based financial document analysis system using a RAG pipeline, including robust ingestion/chunking/embedding workflows, vector DB retrieval, and an AWS-deployed FastAPI service containerized with Docker. Demonstrates strong applied expertise in improving retrieval quality and latency at scale, plus hands-on experience debugging agentic/LLM workflows with monitoring and trace-based analysis while supporting demos and customer-facing adoption.”

“Full-stack product engineer with hands-on ownership of a B2B e-commerce catalog at Mphasis, spanning React/TypeScript, Java/Spring Boot, and Postgres, with strong evidence of performance tuning and UX improvement. Stands out for tracing production issues across layers, leading an Angular-to-React migration, and pairing product instinct with rapid AI prototyping—placing 2nd in an advanced AI hackathon.”

Almas Fathimah

Senior AI Engineer specializing in Generative AI and ML platforms

USA7y exp

“Built and owned a production RAG-based conversational AI system at Entera for real estate analysis, taking it from experimentation through AWS deployment, monitoring, and iterative improvement. Demonstrates strong practical judgment in retrieval design, LLM safety, and scalable Python service architecture, with measurable impact including 30-40% reduction in manual analysis time and roughly 30% better response accuracy.”

“Backend/infrastructure-focused engineer building AI-agent products for small businesses, including a customer-service agent platform with intent routing, RAG over Pinecone, and external booking API integration. Has shipped Python/FastAPI services with JWT auth, versioned APIs, Docker deployments to AWS EC2 via GitHub Actions, and production monitoring with Prometheus/Grafana.”

Entry-Level Machine Learning & Cloud Engineer specializing in AI data pipelines

Boston, MA

“Early-career cloud/appsec-focused engineer with hands-on experience building secure, observable microservice systems on AWS (IAM least privilege, KMS encryption, Secrets Manager, CloudWatch, ALB) and troubleshooting autoscaling-related 500s down to connection pooling issues. Also deployed heavy ML workloads on Kubernetes by decomposing diffusion/transformer services, using workload identity to eliminate static credentials, and maintaining GitOps-style deployment audit trails.”

Saketh Kota

Screened

Mid-level Data Scientist / ML Engineer specializing in Generative AI, RAG, and MLOps

Irving, TX4y exp

“Built and productionized a RAG-based LLM research assistant for biomedical and regulatory document search using Mixtral 7B on SageMaker, LangChain, and Milvus, cutting research time by ~40%. Has hands-on multi-cloud MLOps experience across AWS/Azure/GCP with Kubeflow/Airflow/Composer plus Terraform + ArgoCD, and applies rigorous evaluation/monitoring (latency, accuracy, hallucinations). Also partnered with a non-technical PM to deliver an insurance policy Q&A chatbot that reduced customer response time by 30%+.”
