Vetted Recommender Systems Professionals

“AI-focused product engineer working on LLM routing, prompt engineering, and multimodal API integrations at production scale. They describe improving system accuracy, latency, and token usage, fine-tuning an internal model to reduce third-party API dependence, and adding safety guardrails through prompt-injection testing and red-team evaluation.”

“Full-stack product engineer who owned a live-events digital ticketing platform end-to-end, including blockchain-based ticket validation and high-traffic booking flows. Stands out for combining Angular/React frontend work with Java/Spring Boot backend architecture, plus strong production reliability practices around concurrency control, queues, observability, and UX optimization.”

“AI engineer who built a production e-commerce system that analyzes product images alongside sales and demographic data to generate actionable creative recommendations, now used by 20+ clients. Also built orchestrated document/agent pipelines (Airflow, LangGraph) including a compliance drift detector auditing 401 compliance documents, with an emphasis on traceability, logging, and production integration.”

“Full-stack engineer with experience spanning a small healthcare startup and Groupon-scale personalization systems. Stands out for building HIPAA-compliant healthcare workflows end-to-end while also shipping recommendation and LLM-enabled platforms used by millions, with strong depth in React/Next.js, Node.js, Python, AWS, and scalable event-driven architecture.”

“Backend/ML engineer who has shipped high-scale real-time systems across e-commerce and healthcare: built a PharmEasy real-time recommendation engine for ~2M monthly users (cut feature latency 5 min→30 sec; +15% cross-sell) and architected a HIPAA-compliant multimodal clinical diagnostic workflow (DICOM+EHR) with XAI, MLOps (MLflow/Airflow/K8s), and drift/monitoring guardrails supporting 10k+ daily predictions.”

“Repeat early-stage startup CTO/first engineer who helped take Vettery from 0 to a $100M+ exit. Led product-oriented engineering with heavy investment in data science/ML, including a recommendations system and candidate evaluation model (90%+ predictive effectiveness), and scaled the modeling stack using parallel processing and Apache Airflow.”

Senior AI Engineer specializing in production GenAI systems

San Francisco, CA8y exp

“AI engineer who has shipped production LLM systems end-to-end, including a natural-language-to-SQL analytics copilot for career advisors that achieved ~95% query success through schema grounding, access controls, and automated regression testing with golden queries. Also builds LangGraph-orchestrated multi-step agents (resume analysis, recommendations) and RAG pipelines (PDF ingestion + FAISS) and partners closely with non-technical users to drive adoption and trust.”
