Entry-level Data Scientist specializing in LLMs and analytics

Folsom, CA1y exp

“Built a zero-to-one AI contract/policy QA agent for compliance and data teams, with a strong emphasis on trust, traceability, and clause-level citations rather than just fluent answers. They combine full-stack product ownership with practical LLM systems design, including hybrid retrieval, structured outputs, and evaluation pipelines to improve reliability, latency, and cost.”

“Engineer at Syniti who uses AI tools pragmatically to speed development while maintaining quality through rigorous validation, code reviews, and CI/CD. Most notably, they leveraged AI-assisted testing to increase test coverage from 10% to 70%, and they are actively exploring more advanced agent-based development workflows.”

“Engineer with hands-on experience owning customer deployments for ordering and billing systems at Amdocs, including performance tuning, CI/CD improvements, and post-launch stabilization that delivered about 50% faster execution time. Also built and debugged an LLM-powered task prioritization app using Gemini, Streamlit, Python, and MongoDB, with a strong focus on prompt reliability, validation, and handling inconsistent real-world inputs.”

Senior AI/ML Engineer specializing in Generative AI, LLMs, and RAG systems

Irvine, CA12y exp

“AI/ML engineer with hands-on experience shipping production systems across fintech, travel, and legal use cases. They’ve built end-to-end chatbot, generative content, and RAG solutions on AWS with CI/CD, monitoring, and guardrails, including a loan application platform that generated $3,000 in sales in its first month.”

“Engineer with a mature, agent-oriented approach to AI-driven software development, using structured planning, TDD, and verification loops rather than ad hoc prompting. Has hands-on experience acting as a tech lead for multiple AI agents in an LLM intelligent routing project, coordinating implementation, testing, debugging, and edge-case review with strong attention to system tradeoffs.”

“AI/full-stack engineer who has built zero-to-one internal products around LLMs, RAG, and NLP pipelines, including a conversational data interface and a production AI agent system. Stands out for combining frontend UX for non-technical users with backend/cloud architecture and measurable impact, including a reported 60% reduction in data retrieval time.”

Junior Full-Stack Engineer specializing in AI, healthcare, and FinTech systems

Gainesville, FL2y exp

“Frontend-leaning software engineer who built significant parts of an AI platform at Cognura Health, translating complex document-processing and extraction workflows into usable browser interfaces for business and operations teams. Stands out for combining React/TypeScript UI ownership with backend API collaboration, performance tuning, and thoughtful UX for asynchronous AI workflows.”

“Early-career software/ML candidate with hands-on experience spanning full-stack product work at Carrier and multiple AI-heavy academic projects. Particularly interesting for teams exploring applied ML: they built a reinforcement-learning-based movie recommender with LIME/SHAP explainability and benchmarked it against a DDPG baseline, while also having practical React/Next.js and Django/Postgres experience.”
