Vetted R Professionals

“CMU robotics PhD/PhD researcher and former CMU Robotics Club project lead who built a novel Bayes-filter-based system to localize within music so robotic instruments can follow a human’s tempo in real time. Also works on simulation-heavy multi-agent vehicle routing with traffic-signal scheduling, optimizing for real-time performance via profiling, multithreading, and neural-network surrogates for signal control.”

“McKinsey practitioner who built and deployed production LLM systems for consultants/clients, including a Power BI-integrated multi-agent chatbot (RAG + text-to-SQL + formatting) with custom Python orchestration, verification loops, and a 100+ case eval set achieving ~95% consistency. Also delivered a taxonomy-mapper agent that standardized inconsistent labeling for C-suite stakeholders, cutting a process from >2 weeks to <30 minutes through demos and business-focused communication.”

“Built and shipped an end-to-end LLM agent during an AT&T internship to automate network troubleshooting, with production-style reliability safeguards (timeouts/retries/fallbacks) and structured, state-machine orchestration; project won 3rd place in AT&T’s nationwide intern innovation challenge and was demoed to leadership. Also handled messy multi-partner data at Tencent by implementing schema validation/normalization, confidence-threshold fallbacks, and idempotent Python/ORM-based pipelines.”

Junior Data Scientist specializing in Generative AI and agentic LLM systems

San Jose, CA1y exp

“LLM/agentic-systems builder who has shipped production tools for investment research and procurement insights, including a company screener that processes thousands of conference-listed companies using FireCrawl + Google Search + Gemini. Demonstrates strong orchestration expertise (LangGraph multi-agent graphs), performance optimization (async/batching to sub-30s), and pragmatic reliability/evaluation practices with stakeholder-friendly UX (real-time cost tracking and model/parameter toggles).”

“Internship at BlueFoxLabs building and deploying an AI/ML RAG system for a biopharma client on top of LibreChat, including an AWS Textract ingestion pipeline and PGVector retrieval deployed to AWS EKS. Demonstrated production-minded scalability work by moving from a vertically scaled EC2 setup to a horizontally scaling Kubernetes/EKS deployment, using CI/CD to safely incorporate requirement changes like tabular document data.”

“Chief of Staff to the COO / Strategy & Business Development leader at Annapurna who unified four distinct entertainment verticals (film, TV, interactive, theatre) into the company’s first cross-functional five-year plan. Built standardized pipeline reporting, forecasting models grounded in real execution rates, and executive dashboards that improved decision-making speed and COO leverage while navigating creative/finance tension and sensitive information.”
