Vetted Recommender Systems Professionals

“AI Engineering Intern at The Etherloop building the backend for a healthcare lifestyle recommendation app, including a multi-agent RAG-based system that uses curated SME data plus web search to generate personalized supplement recommendations from user lifestyle details and blood biomarkers. Evaluates against 500+ SME ground-truth profiles with ranking metrics and focuses on HIPAA-aligned deployment, privacy/security, and guardrails to reduce hallucinations and unsafe outputs.”

“AI engineer with experience taking a GPT-4-powered GenAI career coach toward production on Azure AI Foundry, re-architecting the backend with hybrid (vector + keyword) search and RAG optimizations to cut latency by 50%. Also has client-facing TCS experience building healthcare ETL pipelines and delivering error-free monthly reports, plus current work analyzing agentic system reasoning traces and guardrail drift as an AI research fellow.”

“Built a 24/7 Python/LangChain email agent in production with validation, circuit breakers, human-review escalation, and structured observability. Also applied data and automation skills at Community Dreams Foundation, including turning a vague donor-insights request into a usable donor-risk prediction workflow and raising ETL reliability from roughly 85% to 99% by diagnosing SQLite concurrency issues.”

“Built and shipped a production RAG system (“TROJAN KNOWLEDGE”) for answering questions over technical PDFs, using a 3-stage retrieval stack (BM25 + FAISS + cross-encoder) to lift F1 from 71% to 84%. Drove major performance gains with a 3-level cache (memory/Redis/disk) cutting latency from ~200ms to ~10ms, and added Prometheus/Grafana monitoring plus LangChain-based fallback logic to handle OpenAI rate limits under load.”

“Built and productionized an LLM-powered internal knowledge search system in a regulated environment, using embeddings/vector DB retrieval with strict grounding and confidence gating to reduce hallucinations. Reported ~45% accuracy improvement over keyword search and implemented end-to-end orchestration, monitoring, CI/CD, and incremental re-indexing to manage latency and data freshness while driving adoption with business stakeholders.”

“ML/AI engineer with hands-on ownership of production recommendation and GenAI systems, spanning experimentation, deployment, monitoring, and iteration. Stands out for delivering measurable outcomes—22% CTR lift, 15% conversion lift, and a 30% reduction in support tickets—while demonstrating strong judgment on latency, cost, and safety tradeoffs in real-world systems.”

“AI/LLM engineer with healthcare domain experience who built a production clinical support “chart bot” for Molina, including PHI-safe ingestion of 200k+ PDF policies, vector retrieval, and a fine-tuned LLaMA served via vLLM on ECS Fargate. Demonstrated measurable performance wins (HNSW + namespace partitioning; 30% inference latency reduction) and a rigorous evaluation/monitoring approach, while partnering closely with nurses and operations teams to shape workflows and guardrails.”
