“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.”

“Robotics software engineer/researcher focused on perception, SLAM, and sensor fusion, with hands-on experience taking systems from simulation to embedded/real-time deployment. Led transparent-surface (glass) detection using GDNet and achieved a major real-time speedup (~7–9 FPS to ~30 FPS) while preserving >90% recall, and has built ROS-based EKF GPS-IMU fusion plus profiled/optimized Visual SLAM for performance and memory stability. Also brings production-style deployment skills via Docker/Kubernetes orchestration of ML inference services with autoscaling and model update rollouts.”

“Master’s student and Deep Learning teaching assistant who teaches LLM/VLM fine-tuning (including LoRA) and built a Hugging Face LLM fine-tuned for unit conversion, improving reliability by analyzing synthetic data and filling missing number-system conversion examples. Also implemented the Raft consensus protocol using gRPC in a distributed systems course with correctness validated by unit tests.”

“LLM/ML engineer who has shipped an enterprise RAG-based Q&A system (LangChain/LlamaIndex, FAISS + Azure Cognitive Search, GPT-3.5/4 via OpenAI/Azure OpenAI) to production on Docker + Kubernetes/OpenShift, tackling hallucinations, retrieval quality, latency/cost, and RBAC/IAM security. Also partnered with operations leaders to turn manual reporting into an LLM-powered summarization and forecasting dashboard driven by real KPIs and iterative stakeholder feedback.”

“Built a production real-time anomaly detection platform for high-frequency trading at HSBC, using a streaming stack (Pulsar + Spark Structured Streaming + AWS Lambda) and a transformer-based model combining time-series and numerical signals. Experienced in MLOps and safe deployment (Kubernetes, canary releases, MLflow/Grafana monitoring) and in aligning model performance with risk/compliance expectations through SLA-driven tuning and stakeholder-friendly dashboards.”

“Built a production real-time fraud detection and customer-support automation platform at Citibank, tackling extreme class imbalance (reported ~1:5000) and strict latency constraints. Combines hands-on MLOps (Airflow, Kubernetes, MLflow; Snowflake/Spark/S3 integrations; CI/CD model promotion) with cross-functional delivery to Risk & Compliance focused on interpretability and reducing false positives.”

“Co-founded a healthcare AI startup building and deploying software directly with end users, emphasizing rapid shipping, deep user interviews, and workflow-first adoption. Has hands-on production deployment experience on AWS (including diagnosing a silent AWS App Runner failure caused by an ARM vs amd64 Docker build mismatch) and is motivated by customer-facing, travel-heavy roles to keep engineering tightly connected to real-world usage.”

“Applied NLP/ML in healthcare and financial services, including fine-tuning BERT on unstructured EHR text and building embedding-based similarity search for clinical concepts. Also redesigned a Wells Fargo fraud detection data pipeline using modular Python + AWS Glue/Step Functions, cutting runtime ~40% with improved monitoring and reliability.”

“Robotics software engineer with 2+ years across ROS1/ROS2 projects spanning humanoid behavior engines and agricultural robots. Built an LLM-driven, ROS2-lifecycle-based decision system plus micro-ROS firmware on Teensy for modular sensors/motors, adding health monitoring that improved reliability 10x. Strong simulation/testing and deployment discipline (Gazebo, 95% coverage, Docker + AWS Greengrass/ECR, CI/CD) and demonstrated localization expertise with EKF sensor fusion achieving <0.5% error.”

“Robotics software engineer with hands-on AGV/AMR experience at ERIC Robotics, building ROS2-based LiDAR perception and localization on NVIDIA Jetson for real-time deployment. Improved unstable localization in challenging environments (e.g., tunnels/bushes along rail tracks) via scan-matching, filtering, and consistency checks, and cut latency by moving from rclpy to rclcpp and leveraging CUDA. Comfortable across the stack from simulation (MuJoCo/Isaac Sim/Gazebo, domain randomization) to deployment tooling (Docker, basic CI) and distributed ROS2/DDS systems.”

“Robotics software engineer focused on ROS 2 localization/SLAM: built a particle-filter (Monte Carlo) localization system in Python with likelihood-field modeling to handle noisy LiDAR and dynamic environments. Strong in debugging ROS 2 integration issues (tf2 frame sync, DDS/QoS message reliability) and in profiling/optimizing pipelines to reach real-time performance (~10 Hz) using precomputation and KD-trees.”

“Robotics engineer with Honeywell and Tata Motors experience deploying ROS/ROS2 autonomous mobile robot fleets into live factory environments, integrating sensors, safety PLCs, and on-prem services. Known for solving end-to-end latency and stability issues (including network spikes under load) using gRPC, Docker, and improved diagnostics—cutting diagnosis time from hours to minutes and achieving sub-150 ms control response.”
