Vetted Recommender Systems Professionals

“Backend engineer with production ERP experience deploying microservices and improving performance/reliability using a metrics-driven approach (logs, latency, error rates). Has hands-on cloud/hybrid operations across AWS and Azure with Docker/Kubernetes, and has resolved real-world mobile sync issues by tuning timeouts/retries and reducing payload sizes. Builds configurable Python services to deliver customer-specific behavior without destabilizing the core codebase.”

“ML/NLP engineer who has built production systems end-to-end: a real-time recommendation platform (100k+ profiles) using BERTopic-style clustering and a RAG-based news summarization/recommendation stack with ChromaDB. Strong focus on scaling and reliability (GPU batching, Redis caching, Kafka ingestion, Docker/Kubernetes, Prometheus/Grafana) and on maintaining model quality over time via drift monitoring and retraining triggers.”

“AI/LLM engineer who has shipped production RAG and agentic systems end-to-end (LangChain/FAISS, OpenAI+Gemini, FastAPI, Docker, Streamlit), focusing on retrieval quality and low-latency performance. Also partnered with a non-technical PM at deepNow to deliver a forecasting + summarization pipeline for daily market insights with iterative prototyping and a simple UI.”

“Research Analyst at Syracuse who deployed an LLM-powered lab automation system allowing researchers to run QCoDeS instrument workflows via natural language, with strong safety guardrails for real instruments and multi-instrument support. Also collaborated with non-technical stakeholders at iConsult on an audio classification/recommendation pipeline, translating business goals into metrics and Tableau dashboards with model comparisons and A/B test results.”

“Master’s thesis focused on building and deploying a gait-based biometric authentication system using mobile accelerometer time-series data as an alternative to passwords/2FA. Emphasized real-world robustness by addressing sensor noise and variability (phone placement, walking speed, footwear) and improving safety using biometric metrics like FAR/FRR and EER, while collaborating closely with a non-ML thesis advisor.”

“Built and deployed a production bilingual (Bengali/English) AI virtual assistant that replaced IVR for telecom customer service at massive scale (~15M users), integrating ASR/TTS, Rasa dialogue management, and custom NLP. Overcame low-resource Bengali data and noisy call-center audio with synthetic data augmentation and transformer fine-tuning, achieving significant production gains including ~50% reduction in support calls.”

“Full-stack engineer and Scrum Master who led a major monolith-to-microservices migration, including a micro-frontend Angular architecture using Native Federation and staged integration into the legacy app. Also built a React + TypeScript “Business Risk” product featuring a metadata-driven dynamic dashboard/forms layer backed by Spring Boot + GraphQL, with strong QA practices (unit/integration/E2E via Cypress), CI/CD, and feature toggles.”

“AI/backend engineer who has built and scaled production LLM-powered SaaS features (document assistant + compliance review agent) on a Node.js/TypeScript + Postgres/Redis stack deployed to GCP Kubernetes. Demonstrates strong production reliability chops—async queueing, autoscaling, observability, and database tuning—with quantified wins (p95 latency -60%, query 4s to <200ms) and robust AI guardrails (strict RAG, schema validation, citations, HITL).”

“Built and deployed an LLM-powered automation pipeline that ingests voice and documents, transcribes/extracts key information into structured data, and routes it through backend workflows using Python/FastAPI. Uses n8n to orchestrate multi-step AI processes with validation, retries, and monitoring, and iterates with stakeholders via rapid demos to refine changing requirements.”

“AI/ML practitioner with production experience building a RAG-powered contextual customer support agent, optimizing for low latency using vector databases and smaller LLMs. Also deployed a fraud detection model on Kubernetes with auto-scaling for heavy transactional loads, and improved chatbot accuracy by 15% through metric-driven testing and evaluation. Partners with Marketing on personalization/recommendation initiatives with measurable outcomes tied to customer feedback.”
