Vetted Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Professionals

“Software engineer with 4 years of experience spanning scalable backend systems, full-stack product development, and production LLM integrations in finance, insurance, and e-commerce contexts. They describe shipping an AI-powered internal financial analysis tool, improving document-review workflows by 40%, and driving a zero-to-one B2B SaaS subscription launch with cross-functional GTM alignment.”

“Founding engineer at an edtech startup who combines hands-on engineering leadership with advanced AI-native development workflows. They’ve built an AI grading pipeline and a multi-agent SDLC tool, and stand out for treating AI agents like an engineering team with planning, parallel execution, QA, and rigorous validation.”

“Pragmatic AI-focused builder who uses tools like ChatGPT and Claude to accelerate development while maintaining strict review, testing, and architectural ownership. Has hands-on experience designing lightweight multi-agent workflows, including a RAG-style system with separate retrieval and response roles, and approaches new AI trends through direct experimentation rather than hype.”

“Backend engineer with experience at HSBC and Machinations who has delivered major production performance wins (cutting large trade-file upload times from ~13–15s to ~2s) using chunked parallel processing with strong reliability controls. Also built and shipped an applied AI RAG workflow using Langflow + Cohere embeddings + FAISS with hosted/local LLM fallbacks (Hugging Face, Ollama) and production-grade guardrails, observability, and evaluation.”

“Data science and AI professional with Capital One experience building churn prediction and GenAI-powered document intelligence solutions. Stands out for pairing hands-on technical depth in NLP, LLMs, and analytics with strong business communication, including driving adoption across teams and contributing to a 25% reduction in customer churn.”

Senior Full-Stack Engineer specializing in frontend and EV charging platforms

San Jose, CA7y exp

“Built end-to-end operational experiences for Siemens' Depotfinity EV Charging Management System, spanning web, mobile, backend coordination, and cloud-integrated real-time telemetry. Particularly strong in high-frequency React/TypeScript dashboard performance, WebSocket-driven operational products, and cross-functional ownership of fleet-scale EV charging workflows.”

“Full-stack engineer who built BrewAI, a cloud-native AI resume optimization platform on GCP using React, TypeScript, LangChain, and Gemini, with scalable async job processing and LLM safety guardrails. The product gained real-world traction when an undergraduate college in India asked students to use it for internship resume drafting, and the candidate also has team lead experience shipping an early-stage ERP system.”

Senior Product Manager specializing in enterprise AI enablement

Denver, CO13y exp

“Senior PM at DaVita who operates at the intersection of product, deployment, and digital transformation in a HIPAA-regulated environment, owning digital experiences across 20+ properties and 8-10M users. Distinctive for combining enterprise-scale governance and migration leadership with hands-on solo building of an AI product, SueChef.io, using modern LLM tooling.”

Chuangyu Xu

Entry-Level Software Engineer specializing in Java backend and distributed systems

New York, NY

“Built and shipped a production AI mock-interview platform where an LLM “interviewer” generates role-specific questions, runs multi-turn follow-ups, and outputs structured scoring/feedback using RAG. Demonstrates strong production-readiness practices (Prometheus/Grafana monitoring, retries/timeouts, fallback models/templates, schema validation, replay-based debugging) and achieved 99%+ availability with ~40% higher session completion. Also has experience integrating agents with messy SAP/ERP-style data sources using a data middleware layer, cleaning/validation, and idempotent write safeguards.”

“Built and deployed an LLM-powered customer support assistant (“Notable Assistant”) focused on automating common post-customer queries while maintaining multi-turn context and meeting scalability/latency needs. Experienced with production orchestration and operations using Kubernetes and Apache Airflow (DAG-based ETL, scheduling, monitoring/alerts), and has partnered closely with customer service stakeholders to align chatbot behavior with brand voice through iterative testing.”

Mid-level AI/ML Engineer specializing in Generative AI and NLP

Chicago, IL4y exp

“GenAI/LLMOps practitioner who deployed a production RAG-based customer service and knowledge retrieval system for a global bank using LangChain, FAISS/Azure Cognitive Search, GPT-4/Claude, and Guardrails—driving a reported 35% Q&A accuracy lift while reducing handle time and escalations. Also partnered with non-technical leaders at CVS Health to deliver ML-driven supply chain risk and inventory insights via anomaly detection, NLG summaries, and stakeholder-friendly dashboards.”

“GenAI/RAG engineer who has deployed a production policy/regulatory search assistant for a financial client using LangChain + Vertex AI, FastAPI, Docker/Kubernetes, and Airflow-orchestrated data pipelines. Demonstrated measurable impact with 50–60% latency reduction and 70% fewer pipeline failures, plus KPI-driven grounding evaluation (90%+ target) and strong cross-functional collaboration with compliance/business teams.”

“Built and owned an end-to-end RAG-based AI support platform at Mechanize (FastAPI/LangChain/Pinecone/React) with rigorous evals and guardrails, driving 45% fewer support tickets and ~$280K annual savings. Also led a high-risk legacy modernization at Argo AI, incrementally extracting a monolithic Django backend using Strangler Fig + feature flags while supporting 10K+ concurrent users.”

“Built an end-to-end GenAI underwriting copilot at TD Bank for complex financial documents, combining RoBERTa-based risk classification with Azure OpenAI RAG to deliver grounded, citation-based insights. Drove a 40-50% reduction in manual underwriting review time and created reusable FastAPI ML services that cut integration effort for other teams by 30-40%.”
