“Deloitte technical implementation lead who functioned like a pre-sales/solutions engineer for ABBYY's intelligent document processing within the Argus GenAI platform. They supported enterprise-scale rollouts across 10+ countries, tailored deployments for local market needs, and combined integration, compliance, and Python automation work to deliver 95%+ extraction accuracy.”

“AI/ML engineer in financial services who has built both LLM-powered compliance tools and production fraud/credit risk systems at Ally Financial. Particularly strong in regulated, high-stakes environments: combines RAG/LLM architecture, rigorous evaluation, and human-in-the-loop governance, and also helped stand up a unified ML platform from scratch.”

“AI/full-stack engineer who has built both a real-time crypto sentiment platform from scratch and production enterprise RAG search systems at Kore.ai. Stands out for combining strong systems engineering with practical LLM evaluation, retrieval tuning, and careful human-in-the-loop design for high-risk network automation use cases with Cisco.”

“Frontend engineer with experience spanning Amazon Seller Central, Shoptaki, and TCS, focused on turning complex, dynamic workflows into scalable browser-based systems. Particularly strong in schema-driven and metadata-driven UI architecture, including AI-powered analytics interfaces and compliance platforms where adaptability, consistency, and trust are critical.”

Senior Software Engineer specializing in AI platforms and cloud-native systems

Baltimore, MD8y exp

“Engineer with startup CTO experience and recent hands-on full-stack work at Microsoft and Clarity, focused on compliance and AML workflow platforms for financial services. Stands out for building scalable data and audit systems that reduced manual processing and improved performance, while operating effectively in ambiguous early-stage environments.”

“Frontend/platform engineer with unusually strong depth in real-time data systems, observability, and API architecture across Adobe, Macy's/Bloomingdale's, and ASU. They’ve owned high-scale product surfaces end-to-end, from secure GraphQL/REST and WebSocket design through deployment, while also driving platform-wide standards adopted across 8+ product surfaces and 6 teams.”

“Amplitude contractor focused on AI/ML product development and backend systems, with hands-on experience shipping and improving LangChain-based event classification workflows in production. They combine LLM pipeline design, AWS data infrastructure, and pragmatic human-in-the-loop controls to make analytics systems faster, more reliable, and scalable.”

“Frontend engineer with JP Morgan Chase experience building data-heavy React/TypeScript products, including an AI-powered enterprise search application and workforce analytics dashboards. Stands out for combining reusable component architecture, Redux-driven state flow, responsive CSS, and production performance tuning for large-scale internal enterprise tools.”

Junior AI/ML Engineer specializing in agentic AI, RAG, and voice systems

San Jose, CA2y exp

“Full-stack AI product engineer who has owned production-grade document intelligence and agent systems at meaningful scale, including a copilot used by 10,000+ users and 1M+ queries. Particularly strong in combining React/TypeScript product work with Python/FastAPI, RAG, knowledge graphs, observability, and performance tuning—cutting latency from ~7 seconds to 0.5 milliseconds while improving trust through citations and human review.”

“Backend/full-stack engineer with experience at Walmart Global Tech who built and deployed an end-to-end consumer quiz product independently, covering frontend flow, Spring Boot APIs, PostgreSQL, AWS infrastructure, and CI/CD. Not a native iOS or React mobile specialist, but stands out for taking products from idea to production and emphasizing maintainability, reliability, and extensibility.”

“Engineering executive and former CTO with a rare blend of enterprise healthcare AI leadership and consumer AI product building for neurodiverse users. Led Adoreal’s U.S. expansion, scaled a multidisciplinary org by about 60%, modernized platform architecture with Kubernetes and CI/CD, and consistently ties engineering and AI decisions to trust, onboarding efficiency, and revenue outcomes.”

“Software engineer with Intuit experience shipping an end-to-end real-time financial insights product on AWS, using event-driven architecture with Kafka and Spark Streaming to process millions of records with low latency. Also delivers customer-facing React + TypeScript dashboards and has hands-on production operations experience, including resolving a database scaling incident via read replicas, query tuning, and connection pooling.”

“Worked on Sophia the humanoid robot, building production animation pipelines and enhancing human-robot interaction via perception and behavior orchestration. Experienced in stabilizing noisy perception-driven state transitions and designing smooth, user-centered behavioral flows, collaborating closely with artists, animators, and experience designers to translate creative intent into measurable system behavior.”

“Built and owned Prism, a real-time collaborative coding platform, making key architectural choices around deterministic event ordering and a backend source-of-truth to improve trust under concurrent edits. Also created a Python-based bug analysis and test automation suite that became part of standard engineering workflow, cutting debugging time by ~95% while improving fault detection coverage.”

“Backend engineer who built a Logistics-as-a-Service platform in Go, proactively refactoring a monolithic REST service into gRPC microservices to improve performance and maintainability. Led a 3-person team with disciplined code reviews, Dockerized DB migrations, and a canary-style rollout (5% traffic) monitored for latency and failures; also implemented JWT/OAuth2 RBAC and production-minded edge-case handling in an ordering system.”

“LLM/RAG engineer who has built and deployed corporate-scale systems at Novartis and Johnson & Johnson, including a healthcare AI agent that generates day-to-day treatment schedules. Recently handled a high-stakes safety incident (LLM suggesting overdose) by tightening model instructions and validating with ~200 test prompts, and has strong end-to-end data/embedding/vector DB pipeline experience (PySpark, FAISS, Pinecone) plus SME-in-the-loop evaluation (RLHF).”

“Built and deployed a production GenAI internal support agent at Bank of America (“Ask GPS/AskGPT”) using RAG on Azure, focused on reducing escalations and improving response quality for repetitive knowledge-based queries. Demonstrates strong production LLM engineering: custom LangChain orchestration, retrieval tuning to reduce hallucinations, rigorous offline/online evaluation, and model benchmarking with dynamic routing (e.g., GPT-4 vs Claude).”

“Built and deployed a production LLM/RAG document automation system for business documents (contracts/claim forms) that extracts schema-validated JSON, generates grounded summaries/Q&A, and integrates into transaction systems via APIs.
