“GenAI/data engineering practitioner with production experience across Equinix, Optum, and Citibank—built an Azure OpenAI (GPT-4) + LangChain document intelligence platform processing 1.5M+ docs/month and a HIPAA-compliant Airflow healthcare pipeline handling 5M+ claims/day. Also delivered a real-time fraud detection + explainability system using LightGBM and a fine-tuned T5 NLG component, improving fraud accuracy by 15%+ while partnering closely with compliance stakeholders.”

“Built and deployed a secure, production LLM-based document summarization and risk-highlighting tool for financial auditors, running inside a private Azure environment to protect confidential data. Focused on reliability (hallucination mitigation via retrieval-based prompts and source citations) and validated performance through comparisons to auditor summaries plus a user pilot, cutting review time by about half.”

“Machine learning/NLP engineer who built a production-oriented retrieval-based AI system at Morgan Stanley for healthcare use cases, combining RAG over unstructured patient records with deep-learning medical image segmentation (U-Net/Mask R-CNN). Strong in end-to-end pipelines and MLOps (Spark/MongoDB, AWS SageMaker, CI/CD, monitoring, automated retraining) and in entity resolution/data quality validation for noisy clinical data.”

“ServiceNow engineer who built and launched a production LLM-powered ticket resolution/knowledge assistant using RAG (LangChain + Hugging Face embeddings + vector search) integrated into internal support dashboards via REST APIs. Optimized the system from ~6–8s to ~2–3s latency while improving usability with concise, cited answers and guardrails (grounding + similarity thresholds), delivering ~30–35% reduction in manual ticket investigation effort.”

“Uber engineer who has owned internal products end-to-end across backend (Spring Boot microservices, MySQL) and frontend (React), including performance optimization and secure JWT-based auth. Also shipped a production internal RAG/embeddings LLM support assistant over policy docs and support tickets, with guardrails (confidence thresholds, human review) and an evaluation loop that directly reduced hallucinations.”

“Built and shipped a production LLM-powered healthcare support agent at UnitedHealthGroup, using LangChain + FAISS RAG on AWS SageMaker with CloudWatch monitoring and human-in-the-loop fallbacks for safety. Strong focus on reliability engineering (confidence gating, retries/timeouts, caching) and continuous evaluation loops; reported ~40% improvement in query resolution efficiency while reducing manual support workload.”
