Vetted Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Professionals

“Backend engineer (Encore) who led the evaluation and redesign of a high-volume, low-latency real-time retrieval/ranking and inference platform on AWS, shifting from tightly coupled services to a modular architecture for better fault isolation and independent scaling. Strong focus on production reliability, observability, and security (JWT/RBAC, multi-tenant scoping, Postgres/Supabase RLS), with disciplined migration playbooks (feature flags, shadow traffic, dual writes/reconciliation).”

“Built a production multi-agent RAG assistant using LangChain/LangGraph with OpenAI embeddings and FAISS, focusing on retrieval quality and latency (Redis caching, parallel retrieval, precomputed embeddings). Experienced orchestrating ETL/ML pipelines with Airflow and Databricks Workflows, and has delivered an AI assistant for business ops to extract insights from policy/compliance documents through close non-technical stakeholder collaboration.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Built production LLM/agent systems for procurement and contract spend controls, including a proactive contract value leakage detection platform that moved an organization from reactive audits to pre-payment rejection. Combines multi-agent orchestration (Semantic Kernel/LangChain/AutoGen), document AI benchmarking (Textract vs Azure DI), and MLOps/testing (MLflow, QTest/Pytest) with strong security practices (RAG-grounded responses to prevent prompt injection). Integrated anomaly alerts directly into SAP SES workflows and Power BI dashboards, citing ~$38M leakage addressed across large spend environments.”

“Product-minded full-stack engineer with hospitality tech experience who owned and scaled a multi-region guest verification/check-in workflow (ID/passport scanning, OCR, and government submissions) and built internal tools that cut manual entry up to 80%. Also built a React/TypeScript + FastAPI RAG “second brain” with async ingestion workers and an event-driven e-folio email microservice hardened with idempotency and retries.”

“Frontend engineer with experience across university and product companies (University of Montreal, Dopely, Takhfifan), owning React/TypeScript features end-to-end. Notably built a mathematically complex, multi-mode color wheel UI for designers and led quality practices at scale via conventions, RTL testing, and code reviews for junior developers, plus performance and reusability improvements in existing codebases.”

“Built and deployed production LLM applications including a natural-language-to-read-only-SQL system focused on ambiguity handling and query safety (schema whitelisting, intent validation, confidence checks, deterministic execution). Experienced with LangChain-based, modular agent orchestration and RAG document QA for large PDFs, with a metrics-driven testing/evaluation approach and cross-functional delivery with marketing on an AI content recommendation/search tool.”

“Built and deployed a production AI-powered personalized learning platform (Django + FastAPI) featuring an LLM+RAG tutoring assistant and automated grading. Demonstrates strong applied LLM reliability engineering (structured JSON outputs with Pydantic validation, hallucination control via FAISS-based RAG thresholds and refusals) plus scalable async microservice design and Airflow-orchestrated ETL across AWS/GCP.”

“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%.”

“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.”

“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).”

“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).”

“Built and productionized an AI-assisted merchant onboarding automation workflow for Kort Payments, replacing slow manual underwriting document review with structured extraction, cross-document validation, and human-in-the-loop guardrails. Emphasizes reliability via scenario-based testing, repeatability checks, and deep observability (timestamped logs), plus incremental rollout with legacy fallback to prevent regressions.”
