Vetted R Professionals

“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 and owned an end-to-end Python/Postgres job-tracker backend that scrapes job postings (including LinkedIn) using Selenium-driven real-browser automation, with deduplication and data-quality filtering. Has practical experience migrating deployments from DigitalOcean to Vercel and emphasizes documentation, roadmapping, and testing as part of an iterative delivery cycle.”

“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 and deployed a production LLM-assisted recommendation and insights platform that unifies structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data via a modular ingestion pipeline, canonical schemas, embeddings, and late-fusion modeling. Experienced in operationalizing ML/LLM systems with Airflow and Kubernetes (Dockerized services, autoscaling, rolling updates) and emphasizes reliability through layered testing, guardrails, monitoring, and A/B experimentation while partnering closely with non-technical stakeholders.”

“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).”

“LLM/agentic AI builder who deployed a production ITSM automation agent on Google ADK integrating ServiceNow and FreshService, with strong safety guardrails (human-approval gating and runbook-only command execution) and rigorous evaluation (500 synthetic tickets; 80%+ false-positive reduction). Also partnered with finance to deliver an AI agent that automated invoice/SOW retrieval and monthly reporting to account managers, reducing manual back-and-forth.”

“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.”

“Graduate student taking advanced coursework in NLP, generative image modeling, and computer vision; built a PPO reinforcement-learning agent for a Super Mario platformer with careful reward shaping and metric-driven evaluation. In a recent internship designing credit risk models, created a 10-method feature-selection voting framework and achieved ~10% out-of-sample performance improvement while reducing features to mitigate overfitting.”

“Data/ML practitioner who has built a production RAG-based knowledge assistant integrated into Microsoft 365/internal dashboards to help employees query internal documents in plain English. Experienced orchestrating and hardening ETL pipelines with Airflow and Azure Data Factory (validation, retries, monitoring) and running end-to-end model evaluation and production performance tracking via Power BI.”

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.”

“Independent builder of production-grade systems: shipped an end-to-end URL shortener with JWT auth, Redis rate limiting/caching, Postgres, Docker, and real-time analytics, and separately architected a Redis-backed distributed task queue handling 1000+ tasks/min. Demonstrates strong distributed-systems instincts (atomicity, retries/DLQ, idempotency, heartbeats) plus a focus on maintainable code and self-documenting APIs (FastAPI/OpenAPI, versioned routes).”

“Analytics professional with experience across Dreamline AI, Ultron Technologies, and Infolabz, building SQL/Python data pipelines and BI dashboards for incentive, FMCG, and retail use cases. Stands out for turning messy multi-source data into trusted reporting, automating recurring analytics, and tying dashboard adoption to measurable business outcomes like 50% faster reporting and 30% ROI improvement.”

“CRM/lifecycle marketing analyst with experience at Indifoot and CoachTube, focused on using SQL, Tableau, and Excel to analyze user journeys, identify funnel drop-offs, and improve retention. Stands out for translating behavioral insights into campaign targeting and product/UI recommendations that contributed to a 15% retention lift, despite not yet having direct hands-on Braze or formal A/B testing experience.”
