Vetted Reinforcement Learning Professionals

Deepam Ameria

Screened

Intern Robotics Software Engineer specializing in autonomy, perception, and control

Los Angeles, CA2y exp

“Robotics software engineer with hands-on experience building autonomy features across perception, planning, and systems integration—most notably for an autonomous lunar rover that detects and geometrically models craters to plan terrain manipulation. Also owned development of an autonomous stair-climbing module for a quadruped robot as an intern, and has real-time motion-planning/IK debugging experience on a Franka Panda using RGB-D (RealSense).”

“ML/LLM practitioner with experience at Truveta building an LLM-based evaluation framework; identified non-overlapping evaluator failure modes and proposed an ensemble approach that enabled scaling training data and drove ~5% performance gains across multiple internal projects. Strong focus on robustness to distribution shift (augmentation/domain adaptation/meta-learning) and production reliability via monitoring, drift detection, and safe fallbacks.”

Alp Komban

Screened

Junior Machine Learning Engineer specializing in computer vision for medical imaging

Mountain View, CA2y exp

“Applied ML/LLM practitioner working in healthcare-facing products, using RAG and LoRA fine-tuning on medical data and implementing production monitoring (confidence scoring) for clinician oversight. Has hands-on experience debugging agentic/LLM pipelines (including OCR preprocessing fixes) and regularly delivers technical demos to doctors, investors, and conferences—contributing to adoption and even helping close a funding round through end-to-end pipeline walkthroughs.”

“Backend/ML systems engineer with experience at SDSC, UCSD, and Media.net, building production semantic dataset/model discovery using embeddings + Solr KNN and LLM-based intent/reranking at 5M+ dataset scale. Emphasizes offline/online separation for predictable serving, has delivered measurable gains (23% retrieval accuracy, 38% latency reduction) and helped secure a $3M+ NSF grant.”

“Robotics software engineer leading an autonomy stack migration from ROS1 to ROS2, including a custom-built global parameter server to preserve existing infrastructure while shipping continuous production releases. Hands-on across navigation/safety/monitoring packages, control (ROS2 PID for steering/speed), and localization performance work (particle filter optimization), with strong ownership of CI-driven test strategy and release quality.”

Pratik Jaiswal

Screened

Mid-level AI/ML Engineer specializing in financial services ML and MLOps

Remote, USA4y exp

“ML engineer/data scientist with M&T Bank experience who built a production reinforcement-learning portfolio analytics tool for wealth management, emphasizing near real-time performance via batch/serving separation and robust generalization through stress-scenario backtesting and RL regularization. Strong MLOps background (Airflow, Grafana, MLflow) and proven ability to drive adoption with non-technical stakeholders using KPI alignment and SHAP-based explanations.”
