Senior AI Engineer specializing in LLM agents, RAG, and scalable data platforms

7y exp

“ML/data engineer who owned an end-to-end production sales analytics pipeline at 15,000+ user scale, delivering ~50% compute reduction, ~80% faster reporting, and ~$1.2M impact. Also shipped a production RAG-based AI assistant over internal BigQuery/docs with evaluation metrics and safety guardrails, and built shared Python libraries to standardize reliability and accelerate engineering teams.”

“Full-stack engineer with hands-on experience spanning real-time AI products, large-scale payments migration, internal research infrastructure, and open-source ML tooling. Particularly compelling is the mix of low-latency React/Node/TypeScript systems work, zero-downtime migration of 50,000 accounts across 12 regions, and proactive contributions to Kubeflow build and security reliability.”

“Hands-on LLM practitioner who built a production document-processing pipeline in Python, tackling long-document handling and latency with chunking/batching and a user-driven correction feedback loop. Experienced operationalizing AI workflows with Kubernetes (CronJobs, autoscaling, scheduled data cleaning and weekly retraining) and applying structured testing/evaluation (E2E, LLM-as-judge, HITL) while communicating solutions clearly to non-technical clients using visual diagrams.”

“AI engineer (2+ years; pursuing an online MS at UIUC) who has shipped an AI-powered voice screening platform end-to-end on GCP with strong production monitoring and measurable hiring-process impact (80% reduction in unqualified pass-through; ~50+ hours saved per role). Also built and deployed an AWS-based context-aware hybrid search system using OpenSearch as a vector store, and has hands-on experience with multi-agent LLM orchestration (ReAct) and structured-output guardrails.”

Director-level Data & AI Leader specializing in enterprise transformation

Philadelphia, PA22y exp

“Built Cigna Health’s risk-based management/monitoring system used as a primary product for pharmaceutical clients, supporting clinical trials and utilized during the COVID-19 pandemic. Currently running a community-based startup (details kept proprietary) and is open to executive roles or joining a strong team with a clear path to success, evaluating opportunities via ROI.”

“Recent Cornell graduate with roughly 18 months of unusually high-impact Solutions Engineering experience, already owning enterprise AI engagements for Citi and Samsung at WorldLink US. Stands out for combining technical pre-sales with hands-on prototyping and delivery, including local on-device AI for Samsung QA and helping take an AI security product from architecture to first $100K close.”

“Full-stack developer with capstone and project experience delivering production-ready systems in unstructured environments, including a Faculty Tracking system for real departmental use. Strong in React performance debugging (re-render optimization with useMemo), Prisma-backed multi-database setups (MySQL local / SQL Server production on a UCI Health VM), and end-user support workflows that feed back into improved Help documentation.”

“Early-stage investing/venture sourcing profile with experience building a structured founder-sourcing pipeline across online communities, universities/hackathons, and in-person events. Interned at OrCap LLC, where they converted cold outreach into qualified founder conversations by staying useful over time (insights, relevant intros) and running structured first calls that led to internal greenlights for deeper diligence.”

“Built and owned an end-to-end agentic RAG chatbot platform for Baptist Health that helped clinicians access policy and clinical documents faster, reducing manual lookup by 80% and delivering about $2M in annual savings. Brings strong healthcare GenAI production experience, including HIPAA-aligned governance, PHI redaction, observability, evaluation, and scalable Python/Kubernetes deployment practices.”

“Sole developer behind BirdieAI, an AI-powered golf booking platform built from the ground up, spanning frontend UX, backend services, AWS infrastructure, and Postgres database management. Worked directly with a cofounder in a startup setting to scope and ship an MVP, then improved production reliability significantly by reducing a key extraction failure from 1 in 15 to 1 in 300 while adding operational safeguards and user-driven product improvements.”

“Robotics ML/software engineer focused on Vision-Language-Action control for 7-DoF robots, replacing tokenized action decoding with continuous regression heads (including a logit-weighted expectation approach) to improve stability and real-time behavior. Strong in ROS1/ROS2 systems integration and debugging closed-loop manipulation issues via latency instrumentation, QoS-aware distributed messaging, and sim-to-real validation using Gazebo/Unity, Docker, and CI pipelines.”

“Built a production AI agent for phishing fraud detection using n8n orchestration, Claude (Sonnet 4/MCP), VirusTotal, and JavaScript formatting to generate and deliver email-based reports via Gmail. Has experience evaluating detection accuracy against known examples, iterating via feedback, and presenting AI solutions to non-technical teams.”
