Mid-level Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in cloud-native apps and AI copilots

Dallas, TX4y exp

“Internship project building and deploying a LLaMA-based, RAG-enabled copilot inside a Professional Services Automation platform, enabling natural-language navigation, text-to-SQL reporting, and project/resource/budget insights across multiple modules. Addressed real production issues like context drift and vague queries with hybrid search, metadata enrichment, and an intent classification/rewriting layer, orchestrated via Apache Airflow—ultimately cutting PMO reporting time by 40%.”

Ramya Jonnala

Principal/GenAI Engineer specializing in LLMs, RAG, and MLOps

Plano, TX9y exp

“Built a production AI-powered university marking system that automates question generation and grading from PDF course materials using a RAG pipeline (S3 + Pinecone) orchestrated with LangChain/LangGraph and deployed on AWS ECS via Docker/ECR and GitHub Actions CI/CD. Addressed a key real-world LLM challenge—grading consistency—by implementing rubric-based scoring, retrieval re-ranking, and standardized context summarization, validated against human instructors.”

Erick Ortega

Junior Embedded & Computer Vision Engineer specializing in Edge AI and QA automation

Raleigh, NC2y exp

“Built a Meta-style AI smart glasses system emphasizing on-device privacy and low-latency processing, spanning ESP32-S3/FreeRTOS firmware through an NVIDIA Jetson Linux edge-AI pipeline in Python/Docker. Strong in real-time streaming optimization (zero-copy GDMA, deterministic scheduling), encrypted transmission (AES-256), and reliability via stress testing and robust error handling; currently building CI/CD automation tests using Playwright and computer vision.”

Thota Rajkumar

Screened

Junior Cloud & AI Infrastructure Engineer specializing in Agentic AI and AWS

San Jose, CA2y exp

“Built and deployed a production AI career-advice agent designed to combat unreliable/generic LLM guidance by grounding outputs in retrieval-first RAG over resumes/job/hiring data, with multi-step reasoning, structured memory, and evidence-only prompting to reduce hallucinations. Implemented the system with LangChain/Python and deployed on AWS as scalable microservices orchestrated via REST and asynchronous calls, iterating closely with career coaches and students.”

HarshaVardhanRao Vemuganti

Screened

Junior AI/ML Engineer specializing in Generative and Agentic AI

Lafayette, Louisiana4y exp

“Built and deployed a production-grade LLM agent for credit management and accounts receivable automation, integrating ERP/MySQL data via a RAG pipeline and exposing services through FastAPI with Pydantic-validated outputs on AWS Bedrock. Emphasizes reliability and compliance for financial operations using schema validation and human-in-the-loop review, reporting ~32% reduction in manual work and ~41% improvement in response time/reliability.”

Jeevan Hebbal Manjunath

Screened

Junior Robotics & Machine Learning Engineer specializing in autonomous systems

Tempe, AZ2y exp

“Robotics engineer leading development of a Physical Reservoir Computing controller for a pneumatic soft robotic arm, owning everything from automated data collection and leak-testing automation to hardware design/manufacturing and cross-lab integration with Virginia Tech. Built ROS 2/DDS-based multi-robot systems integrating OptiTrack, a lab quadruped, and a UR5e, and pairs simulation (Gazebo/MuJoCo) + PPO RL training with production-ready tooling (Docker, CI/CD, Flask dashboards, RAG chatbot portfolio).”

Asad Abdul

Screened

Mid-level Full-Stack Developer specializing in AI-driven cloud-native applications

Laguna Niguel, CA4y exp

“Full-stack engineer with healthcare/ops analytics experience at PatientXpress, shipping a real-time operational dashboard end-to-end (React/TypeScript + Node/Postgres on AWS) that cut manual reporting by 50%. Strong in performance and reliability work—pagination/caching, Postgres indexing/partitioning, Terraform-based AWS provisioning, CI/CD with GitHub Actions, and production incident response with improved monitoring (CloudWatch/Prometheus).”

“Gameplay/network engineer based in Argentina who has shipped across Unity and UE5, with standout work in deterministic simulation, authoritative multiplayer, and fully local AI-driven NPC systems. Particularly compelling for teams building systemic gameplay or real-time interactive experiences: they replaced Unity physics with a custom deterministic race pipeline, improved WebGL load performance, and later built an engine-agnostic local LLM/TTS/lip-sync stack for conversational NPCs.”

“AI/ML engineer with hands-on experience owning production deployments from discovery through post-launch stabilization, including real-time computer vision/OCR systems and LLM-powered RAG workflows. Stands out for translating messy customer workflows into reliable backend services, debugging non-deterministic retrieval issues, and hardening AI systems with validation, monitoring, and human-review fallbacks.”

“AI/ML engineer with 9+ years of experience building production recommendation and LLM systems end-to-end, from experimentation through deployment, monitoring, and retraining. Stands out for combining strong MLOps discipline with practical GenAI/RAG implementation, including measurable impact such as ~25% higher engagement on an e-commerce recommender and nearly 30% faster knowledge retrieval from internal documents.”

“Full-stack JavaScript engineer with hands-on ownership of a retail loyalty platform spanning Next.js on Vercel and NestJS microservices on Azure. Stands out for designing complex real-time and event-driven flows, including Bluetooth-connected React Native work, shared TypeScript contracts across frontend/backend, and production reliability patterns like webhooks, revalidation, logging, and retry Cron jobs.”

“Built a production-grade clinical and insurance document AI system in a HIPAA/PHI-regulated environment, taking it from experimentation through Azure deployment, monitoring, and iterative improvement. Stands out for translating RAG/LLM research into reliable microservices with strong safety controls, drift monitoring, and human-in-the-loop workflows that cut manual review time by 60-70%.”

“ML/AI engineer with hands-on experience building healthcare and fraud-detection systems from experimentation through deployment, monitoring, and retraining. Stands out for combining real-time IoT pipelines, cloud-native MLOps, and GenAI/RAG in regulated healthcare settings, with reported impact including reduced emergency response times and a 25% reduction in manual diagnosis time.”

Kathan Patel

Mid-level Generative AI Developer specializing in Python and LLM applications

5y exp

“Currently working on Kavia AI, an end-to-end AI coding platform that lets users generate enterprise applications from prompts and existing codebases via SCM integrations. The candidate has hands-on experience across the GenAI stack—prompt engineering, LangGraph-based multi-agent orchestration, RAG, knowledge graphs, FastAPI, and AWS monitoring—with a focus on making software creation accessible to non-technical users.”
