Vetted Pinecone Professionals

“Backend engineer who built and evolved Python/FastAPI services (including AWS-deployed ML prediction APIs) for real-time profitability and risk insights at TenXengage. Emphasizes pragmatic architecture, strong validation/observability, and secure access controls (RBAC + row-level filtering), and has led safe migrations via parallel runs and incremental rollouts; reports ~20% forecasting accuracy improvement.”

“AI/back-end engineer at Canon who helped build and operate an internal production LLM platform that acts as a secure middle layer between users and models, defending against jailbreaks/prompt injection while enabling RAG, memory, and grounded responses over company data. Experienced with LangChain/LangGraph orchestration, vector DB retrieval, and reliability practices (testing, monitoring, adversarial prompts) to run high-throughput, low-latency AI workflows in production.”

Toledo, OH2y exp

“Robotics software engineer with hands-on hardware integration who built an AI-enabled smart dog door using a Raspberry Pi, camera-based recognition (DeepFace adapted for dogs), and stepper motor control (TB6600/NEMA 17). Experienced in ROS/ROS 2 across perception-to-controls, rigorous bag-driven debugging of SLAM/navigation issues, and deploying robot software with simulation-in-the-loop testing plus Docker/Kubernetes CI/CD.”

“Built a LangGraph-based, tool-routing LLM chatbot to deliver fast, trustworthy investment-stock insights (including tariff impact) and deployed it to production on Snowflake after initially developing in Azure with AI Search and the Microsoft Agent Framework. Improved routing robustness by moving from LLM-based decisions to a deterministic router backed by schema-relationship graphs and YAML metadata, and ran the project iteratively with non-technical stakeholders over an 8-month engagement.”

“Built and deployed a production LLM-powered text-to-SQL/document intelligence chatbot on AWS that lets non-technical business users query complex enterprise databases in plain English. Demonstrates deep practical expertise in schema-aware prompting, embeddings-based schema retrieval, SQL safety/validation guardrails, and rigorous offline/online evaluation with human-in-the-loop approvals for risky queries.”

“Built a production-grade LLM evaluation and regression system that stress-tests models across hundreds of iterations, combining LLM-as-judge, semantic similarity, statistical metrics, and rule-based checks, with results delivered via stakeholder-friendly HTML reports and dashboards. Experienced orchestrating multi-agent RAG workflows using LangChain/LangGraph and event-driven GenAI pipelines in n8n integrating OCR, speech-to-text, and external APIs, with strong emphasis on reliability, observability, and explainable failures.”

“Built a production-grade, semi-automated document recognition and classification system for large volumes of scanned PDFs, starting from little/no labeled data and handling highly variable scan quality. Deployed on AWS using SageMaker + Docker and orchestrated on EKS with a microservices design that scales CPU-heavy OCR separately from GPU inference, with strong reliability controls (validation, fallbacks, retries, readiness probes).”

“Built and deployed a production-grade, multi-agent Text-to-SQL assistant that lets non-technical stakeholders query large enterprise databases in natural language. Uses Pinecone-based schema retrieval + LLM reasoning (Gemini/Claude/GPT) with a dedicated validation agent (schema/syntax checks and safe dry runs) to reduce hallucinations and improve reliability, while optimizing latency and cost via async execution and embedding caching.”

“Full-stack/product-leaning engineer in logistics and high-traffic portals who ships production AI features: built an AI-assisted shipment status Q&A system using Pinecone + GPT-4 and a high-volume Python ingestion pipeline (500K+ records/day), delivering 35% fewer support tickets and cutting resolution time from 11 to 4 minutes. Also led a legacy Angular-to-React/TypeScript rebuild that boosted Lighthouse performance from 60 to 90, and has hands-on AWS EKS operations experience including resolving a 3x traffic scaling incident.”

“Built and deployed a production RAG-based clinical decision support assistant at MedLib, focused on fast, trustworthy answers from large medical documents. Demonstrates deep practical experience improving retrieval accuracy (semantic chunking + metadata-aware search), controlling hallucinations with grounded generation and thresholds, and adding clinician-requested citations using chunk metadata, with evaluation driven by healthcare professional review.”
