Intern Machine Learning Engineer specializing in multimodal AI and evaluation benchmarks

San Diego, CA2y exp

“ML-focused candidate with beginner ROS/ROS2 experience (custom pub-sub nodes; TurtleBot3 SLAM simulation debugging via topic inspection and transform/orientation checks). Has research/project exposure to LLM training approaches (GRPO with pseudo-labels using Hugging Face TRL on Qwen/Llama) and uses Docker/Kubernetes + CI/CD to run ViT saliency-attention/compression workloads on UCSD Nautilus infrastructure.”

“Built and shipped a production generative-AI recipe feature on AWS serverless (Lambda + Bedrock), evolving it post-launch from fully AI-generated outputs to user-guided structured generation based on real usage patterns and system metrics. Emphasizes reliability via prompt constraints plus deterministic validation, with automated/human eval loops and CloudWatch-based observability to manage latency, cost, and output consistency.”

“Compensation and payroll professional with hands-on ownership of end-to-end U.S. payroll and compensation cycle support. Stands out for using compa-ratio, market benchmarking, and Excel-based reconciliation tools to catch data issues, influence salary decisions, and strengthen payroll controls.”

Senior Backend & Infrastructure Engineer specializing in cloud-native distributed systems

5y exp

“LLM infrastructure engineer who built a production-critical real-time personalization and memory retrieval system for a user-facing product, adding <100ms P99 latency while improving relevance ~20–25% and holding SLA through 3x traffic. Experienced designing tiered retrieval backends (Redis + vector store), deploying on Kubernetes with autoscaling/circuit breakers, and running rigorous observability, incident response, and agent evaluation (shadow traffic, A/B tests, regression/replay).”

“Technology leader with experience owning enterprise roadmaps and executing large-scale platform standardization during rapid M&A—most notably driving a tech roadmap across a 37-company portfolio at Regent, tackling technical debt and security gaps via unified cloud-native architecture, IAM/logging, CI/CD, and a global SRE model. Previously scaled an Adobe engineering org from 8 to 40+ across four regions, implementing clear org design, KPIs, and an extreme-ownership culture to support 24/7 operations and enterprise needs.”

Executive engineering leader specializing in platform engineering, AI systems, and SaaS

Detroit, MI24y exp

“Senior engineering executive who has repeatedly rebuilt and scaled product engineering organizations in high-growth environments, including restarting Rocket Auto’s stack from scratch and hiring 100+ engineers during StockX’s hypergrowth phase. Particularly differentiated by being unusually hands-on for an executive leader, with active open source work and a strong focus on AI-native engineering workflows, developer automation, and modern architecture transformation.”
