“Backend/distributed-systems engineer with Uber experience building real-time telemetry and safety signal pipelines. Strong in Kafka-based event-driven architectures, low-latency processing under peak load, and production reliability via monitoring, retries, and fallback logic; has Docker/Kubernetes and CI/CD deployment experience.”

“ML/NLP practitioner with a master’s thesis focused on domain-adaptive knowledge distillation for LLMs (LLaMA2/sheared LLaMA), showing improved perplexity and ROUGE-L on biomedical data. Also built real-world data linking and search systems: integrated ClinicalTrials.gov with FAERS using fuzzy matching + embeddings, and delivered an LLM-powered FAQ recommender at Hyperledger using sentence-transformers, FAISS, and fine-tuning to mitigate embedding drift.”

“Built and productionized enterprise LLM/RAG systems, including a Boeing internal solution that gave 400+ program managers conversational access to 1M+ rows of schedule data, with strong emphasis on governance, reliability, and reducing hallucinations in tabular domains. Also has experience running developer-focused workshops (UC Berkeley computer architecture) and partnering with customer-facing stakeholders to drive adoption of a compliance-sensitive NLP product (SEC-aligned) at Penserra.”

“Full-stack engineer with deep serverless AWS experience who built VidToNote, an AI video analysis platform, end-to-end using Next.js App Router/TypeScript and an event-driven pipeline (API Gateway, Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, Step Functions, SQS). Strong on production reliability and observability (CloudWatch, X-Ray, structured logging), plus data/analytics work in Postgres with measurable query optimizations and durable LLM evaluation workflows. Amazon background; integrated 22 AWS services and completed AWS Solutions Architect Professional certification within a month.”

“Built and deployed production LLM systems in healthcare and at LinkedIn: automated pen-and-paper clinical trial evaluations with a 40x efficiency gain and created an evidence-based Evaluation Agent focused on accuracy and speed. Also used Temporal to orchestrate resilient data-ingestion workflows for customer support staffing prediction, improving prediction outcomes by 40% while handling missing data, retries, and backfills.”

“Built and shipped a production LLM pipeline for nursing home Medicare reimbursement (PDF OCR + fact extraction + keyword RAG + QA) that reportedly increased payouts by ~$1K/month per patient. Strong in LLM ops/benchmarking (ground truth, LLM-as-judge, cost/I-O tracking) and pragmatic optimization—swapped retrieval approaches, fine-tuned a small model to cut OCR cost 90%, and migrated workloads to Azure/Temporal to scale nightly processing 10x.”

“VP of New Product Development at Axiom Cloud who built and scaled a "Virtual Battery" product that used supermarket frozen inventory as thermal energy storage—personally prototyped core control/safety logic in Python and led the engineering buildout through deployment and operations. Combines real-world industrial controls and edge deployment experience (LonWorks/Modbus, Docker/CI/CD) with an MS in CS focused on robotics, perception, and ML, including ROS 2 and YOLO-based perception.”

“LLM/RAG engineer who built a production-style multi-agent orchestrator for resume-to-recommendation workflows (PDF ingestion through screening and recommendations), emphasizing prompt tuning and strict JSON output contracts. Currently building a RAG application for an NGO using Airflow (DAGs + embeddings) and tackling messy, missing/imbalanced data; has hands-on retrieval stack experience (FAISS/HNSW, bge embeddings) and uses rigorous evaluation metrics for groundedness and hallucination control.”

“Backend engineer with experience at Meta and Accenture building regulated-data systems (healthcare/financial) using Python/Flask and Postgres. Has scaled high-throughput services to millions of daily requests, delivering measurable latency wins (~40% API latency reduction; ~35% faster DB-backed endpoints), and has productionized ML inference services using Docker/Kubernetes and AWS (ECS/SageMaker).”

“Robotics software engineer from Ati Motors who brought a Linear MPC approach (based on Kuhne et al.) into production, rebuilding parts of the planning stack to eliminate oscillations and safely double AMR speed from 0.8 m/s to 1.6 m/s. Also delivered an end-to-end point-cloud detection pipeline (PointPillars) including synthetic data generation in Isaac Sim and TensorRT deployment for real-time human/trolley detection, with a strong focus on production reliability via iterative hardening and nightly SIL.”

“Built and deployed a production LLM-powered risk assistant for KPMG and Freddie Mac that lets analysts query a confidential Neo4j risk graph in natural language (no Cypher), turning multi-day analysis into minutes with traceable, cited answers. Implemented rigorous guardrails, deterministic verification, RBAC/security controls, and a full eval/observability stack, cutting query error rate by ~50% and iterating through weekly UAT with non-technical risk analysts.”

“Robotics software engineer with Amazon Robotics internship experience who built a visual-servoing architecture from scratch, navigating multiple simulator pivots to achieve a closed-loop motion-planning and execution prototype.
