Junior AI Data Engineer specializing in Azure Databricks lakehouse and GenAI RAG systems

Irving, TX2y exp

“Backend/applied AI engineer from Cloud Rack Systems who built production GenAI/RAG and data platforms on Azure/Databricks at enterprise scale (2.5M records/day). Known for making LLM systems behave like deterministic services via strict retrieval contracts, citation-based validation, and strong observability—shipping a knowledge assistant used daily by 50+ users while driving hallucinations near zero and materially improving latency and cost.”

“Founder of distribb.io, an 8-month-old AI SEO software company already at $10k MRR. Brings 15 years of startup ecosystem exposure and a pragmatic, market-driven approach to building businesses by targeting proven demand rather than chasing novelty.”

“Backend/AI engineer who built production-grade intelligence systems in high-stakes domains including tax/legal document analysis and brain tumor MRI workflows. Stands out for combining LLM/RAG product delivery with strong engineering rigor around retrieval evaluation, grounding, validation, observability, and safe fallbacks—turning impressive demos into systems users could actually trust.”

“Built a production ad-spend optimization system that combined deterministic audit logic with LLM-generated explanations, surfacing severe inefficiencies including 70-90% wasted spend in some Google Ads accounts. Stands out for pairing measurable business impact with pragmatic AI safety and usability decisions, including approval-gated execution and structured, human-readable recommendations.”

“Built GynAI, an end-to-end maternal clinical decision support platform for OB/GYN practices and hospitals in North America, combining predictive ML with RAG-based LLM explainability. The candidate emphasizes real production ownership across experimentation, deployment, monitoring, and iteration, with reported impact including fewer delayed interventions in high-risk pregnancies and a 15-20% reduction in false positives.”

“Production-focused ML/AI engineer with hands-on ownership across classical ML and GenAI systems, from CV/NLP services to enterprise RAG. Stands out for combining research-to-production execution with measurable business impact: 40% processing-efficiency gains, 35% fewer support tickets, 5x latency improvement, and 3x throughput gains while maintaining safety and quality.”

“Founding engineer at an early-stage agent marketplace who built the core job lifecycle, live run viewer, and LLM-based verification/settlement flow that gated escrow release. Also worked on a multi-agent diagnostic system using a blackboard architecture with specialized models, structured outputs, and human-in-the-loop review—showing unusual depth in both product engineering and applied AI systems.”

Maryland, USA4y exp

“Built an AI-powered job matching platform end to end using AWS, Gemini, FastAPI, TypeScript, embeddings, and vector search. The standout result was automating manual matching workflows and scaling resume processing to roughly 2,000 resumes per minute while monitoring quality with F1 score and latency metrics.”

“Built a real-time AI meeting assistant using a Chrome extension that streams audio to a backend LLM workflow with transcription and RAG, then hardened it for production with queue-based streaming, async pipelines, security controls, and full observability. Also has hands-on startup sales experience, partnering with customers to define measurable technical win conditions (latency/accuracy) to close deals and drive adoption.”

“Fintech-focused mobile engineer who built and shipped a mobile wallet to both iOS and Android app stores, implementing biometric login and AI-driven KYC (face + ID verification). Demonstrates strong customer feedback loops and production problem-solving, including resolving iOS version-specific third-party AI integration issues and improving payment UX by moving from synchronous to asynchronous processing.”

Experienced in live troubleshooting of agentic workflows, developer demos/workshops (including an open-source project, MerryQuery), and partnering with sales to close deals through customer-specific technical demos and fast integration feedback loops.”

“Built and deployed real-world systems end-to-end across security and healthcare contexts: led a 3-person team delivering a university vehicle tracking system with 30% cost savings and 1-year post-launch monitoring. Also implemented a healthcare RAG chatbot with adaptive query routing that cut LLM costs by 40% while maintaining answer accuracy, and has experience debugging non-deterministic LLM behavior in DevOps pipeline automation.”

“Built and owned a production-grade RAG/LLM support automation system on AWS using GPT-4, Pinecone, FastAPI, and Redis, taking it from initial experimentation through deployment, monitoring, and iterative improvement. Their work reduced support workload and ticket volume by about 40%, improved CSAT and self-service resolution, and they also created shared Python/LLM infrastructure that accelerated other teams' delivery from weeks to days.”
