Vetted Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Professionals

“AI/backend-focused builder who has shipped two distinct applied AI products: a game discovery platform with vector search + RAG chat, and an AI accounting platform for small businesses. Stands out for combining product discovery with hands-on system design, including sub-100ms retrieval performance, privacy-conscious financial workflows, and measurable impact like 58% compute-time reduction and support for 24,000+ user profiles.”

“Frontend/product-focused engineer who helped build Cheiron.bio from no product to production, owning major parts of an AI-powered search and document intelligence experience for bio-pharma researchers. Stands out for combining React/Next.js/TypeScript architecture depth with strong product thinking around AI workflows, citations, streaming interactions, and responsive UX in complex, data-heavy interfaces.”

“Backend/platform engineer who built an LLM-driven QA automation system (“mockmouse”) using a Flask orchestration microservice, Socket.IO real-time updates, Redis caching, and strict Pydantic schemas to turn prompts into reliable action graphs and automated browser tests. Has hands-on Kubernetes delivery experience (Docker/Helm/Jenkins) and has supported large migration programs, validating ETL cutovers with 1M+ synthetic records and rigorous output comparisons; also built event-driven monitoring/anomaly detection streaming into Grafana.”

“Full-stack engineer with hands-on ownership of production systems, including a Kafka-based notification/alerting platform (Node.js + React) deployed on AWS with Docker/GitHub Actions, achieving ~95% email delivery reliability. Demonstrates strong operational maturity (observability, CI/CD, zero-downtime migrations) and experience shipping in ambiguous environments (SJSU project) with evolving requirements.”

“Backend/AI engineer with production experience in legal tech: built a high-scale licensing/subscription API (FastAPI/Postgres/Stripe) and shipped a RAG-based chatbot for an eDiscovery platform. Designed a robust legal document ingestion workflow that processes thousands of documents into a searchable vector index with clear retry/escalation logic, and has demonstrated measurable Postgres performance wins (200ms to 10ms) using EXPLAIN ANALYZE and composite indexing.”

“ML practitioner who built a production customer risk scoring system to replace slow manual approvals, owning the full pipeline from feature engineering and XGBoost training to deploying a Dockerized FastAPI prediction service. Emphasizes reliability and business-aligned evaluation (recall/ROC-AUC, threshold tuning, drift monitoring) and is comfortable translating model decisions into stakeholder metrics like conversion rate (experience at EasyBee AI).”

Junior Software Engineer specializing in AI, full-stack development, and applied ML

Fullerton, CA2y exp

“AI/full-stack product builder who has shipped production agentic systems in both customer support analytics and medical claims automation. They combine React/Next.js frontends with Python-based async backends and LLM orchestration, delivering measurable outcomes like 60% cost savings, 40% less manual review, and reducing claims processing from 30 minutes to 20 seconds.”

“IBM Power/AIX engineer who has owned a large production estate (20+ Power9/Power10 frames and 400+ LPARs) with vHMC and dual-VIOS HA. Has hands-on incident recovery experience (NPIV/RMC issues, LPM restores) and PowerHA failovers, plus modern DevOps exposure using Terraform on AWS and CI/CD with GitHub Actions/Jenkins (including deploying AI/RAG and vision workloads).”

“Built and productionized LLM-powered workflows that generate contextual insights from structured financial data, including prompt/retrieval design, data standardization, and reliability controls like rate limiting and batching. Also diagnosed and fixed real-time failures in an automated order validation system using logs/metrics, staging reproduction, edge-case handling, retries, and alerting, while supporting sales/customer teams with demos, scripts, and FAQs to drive adoption.”

Junior AI Full-Stack Engineer specializing in LLM automations and RAG systems

Nashua, NH2y exp

“Built and shipped a production LLM-powered customer support assistant using a Python/FastAPI backend with RAG (embeddings + vector search) over internal docs and product/operational data. Instrumented the system with logging/metrics and ran continuous eval loops; post-launch improvements focused on retrieval quality (chunking/ranking) and performance/cost tradeoffs (query classification, caching, validation guardrails).”

Mid-level Product Designer & Design Technologist specializing in design systems and GenAI UX

Remote, USA3y exp

“Enterprise/industrial UX designer focused on making complex, real-time automated systems feel trustworthy and predictable. Has hands-on experience observing operators in logistics/automation environments, building shared interaction models to unify fragmented products, and collaborating tightly with engineers using component-system thinking (HTML/CSS/TypeScript) to ship resilient UIs that handle partial failures.”

“Software engineer building AI-powered automation features in commercial real estate, including brochure generation and property listing workflows. They combine FastAPI/Redis/Celery backend architecture with multi-agent LLM design, structured prompting, testing, and production monitoring, and are now actively learning RAG and vector databases to make outputs more personalized.”

“Solo builder of ZenDSA, a live AI-powered DSA learning product with 37 real users, built end to end using Java/Spring Boot, React, and TypeScript. Particularly interesting for teams building AI products: they designed a production LLM fallback architecture, enforced structured JSON outputs, monitored parse-failure regressions, and fixed an SSRF vulnerability after launch.”
