Vetted Retrieval-Augmented Generation Professionals

“Backend engineer with experience in both regulated healthcare and finance: built a multi-agent RAG system to generate FDA regulatory approval documents for biomedical devices, improving retrieval accuracy via hybrid search (semantic + BM25) and hierarchical chunking. Previously at JPMorgan Chase, led a Java microservice refactor and AWS migration using Elasticsearch-first patterns, caching, and safe rollout strategies (parallel runs, canary, blue-green) in asset/wealth management.”

“ML/GenAI practitioner with healthcare domain depth who built and deployed a production cervical-cancer EMR classification system using a hybrid rules + medical BERT approach, optimized for high recall under severe class imbalance and PHI constraints. Experienced running end-to-end production ML/LLM pipelines with Apache Airflow (validation, promotion/rollback, monitoring, retraining) and partnering closely with clinicians to calibrate thresholds and implement human-in-the-loop review.”

“LLM/agent engineer who has shipped production RAG chatbots in sustainability-focused domains, including a packaging recommendation assistant that standardized messy user inputs and used Pinecone-backed retrieval over product/regulatory data. Experienced orchestrating end-to-end ML workflows with Airflow and AWS Step Functions/Lambda, emphasizing reliability (property-based testing, circuit breakers, OpenTelemetry) and measurable performance (latency/cost). Partnered closely with non-technical leadership to ship 3 weeks early, driving adoption by 150+ businesses and ~20% reported waste reduction.”

“LLM engineer who has shipped production AI systems, including an RFP requirements extraction platform (OpenAI o4-mini + Azure AI Search + FastAPI) achieving 90%+ accuracy and ~5x throughput through grounding, structured outputs, parallelization, and caching. Also partnered with legal/compliance stakeholders at Nexteer Automotive to deliver an AI document comparison tool with traceability and confidence indicators, adopted by non-technical users and saving ~2 FTEs of review time.”

“Amazon Fire TV Devices engineer who built and shipped a production LLM-powered lab triage and validation system that grounds recommendations in internal runbooks/known-issue data and pushes evidence-based actions via dashboards and Slack. Emphasizes safety and measurability with structured JSON outputs, replay-based evaluation on historical incidents, and production metrics (e.g., disagreement rate and time-to-first-action), plus cost/latency optimizations like caching, batching, and rule-based fast paths.”

“Backend engineer who built a Python-based data profiling/statistics platform processing up to 50M rows and ~300 metrics, using a DAG execution model, multithreading, and smart caching to cut processing time by up to 70%. Also improved PostgreSQL query performance from 12s to 2s via indexing/query rewrites, integrated an LLM (LangChain + OpenAI) for explainable “chat with the pipeline” functionality, and designed an AWS EC2+SQS architecture for scalable, isolated per-user processing.”

“Backend-focused engineer who built an internal wiki LLM chatbot end-to-end using FastAPI, Kubernetes, and ChromaDB vector search, including frontend integration. Also has strong DevOps/migration experience—automating large work-item and repo migrations (Jira/FogBugz/ADO on-prem to cloud) via Python scripts, JSON mappings, REST APIs, and validation test suites.”

“Software engineer with experience at Google and the City and County of San Francisco building production AI systems, including a RAG-based internal support chatbot and ML-driven ticket priority tagging. Has scaled data/ML platforms with Airflow on GCP (1M+ records/day, 99.9% SLA) and deployed multi-component systems with Docker and Kubernetes (GKE), using modern LLM tooling (LangChain/CrewAI, Claude/OpenAI, Pinecone/ChromaDB, Bedrock/Ollama).”

“Lead Data Scientist (10+ years) with recent work in healthcare data: built production pipelines that unify EHR, genomics, and clinical notes using NLP (spaCy/BERT/BioBERT) and scalable Spark-based processing. Also led development of domain-specific LLM/NLP systems for chatbots and semantic search, deploying models via FastAPI/Flask and improving retrieval with FAISS-backed, fine-tuned clinical embeddings and RAG-style workflows.”

“GenAI/LLM engineer and architect who built and deployed a production generative AI financial forecasting and scenario analysis platform at McKinsey, leveraging Claude (Anthropic), LangChain, Airflow, MLflow, and AWS SageMaker. Demonstrates strong LLMOps/MLOps rigor (monitoring, drift detection, automated retraining) and deep experience implementing global privacy controls (GDPR, differential privacy, audit trails) while partnering closely with finance executives and legal/IT stakeholders.”
