“AI Engineering Intern at The Etherloop building the backend for a healthcare lifestyle recommendation app, including a multi-agent RAG-based system that uses curated SME data plus web search to generate personalized supplement recommendations from user lifestyle details and blood biomarkers. Evaluates against 500+ SME ground-truth profiles with ranking metrics and focuses on HIPAA-aligned deployment, privacy/security, and guardrails to reduce hallucinations and unsafe outputs.”

“Data/ML engineer in financial services (Northern Trust) who built a production RAG-based LLM system to connect structured transaction/portfolio data with unstructured market and internal documents for risk teams. Strong in end-to-end pipelines (AWS Glue/Airflow/PySpark), entity resolution, and taking models from prototype to reliable daily production with performance tuning (LoRA + TensorRT) and monitoring.”

“Recent McCombs School of Business (UT Austin) Post Graduate Program graduate in Data Science & Business Analytics with hands-on project experience spanning stock clustering/segmentation and hotel booking-cancellation prediction. Strong in end-to-end analysis workflows (EDA, cleaning, feature engineering) and rigorous model comparison/selection, with exposure to boosting methods and imbalanced-data techniques; limited experience so far with embeddings/vector databases and production deployment.”

“Built and productionized an LLM-powered internal knowledge search system in a regulated environment, using embeddings/vector DB retrieval with strict grounding and confidence gating to reduce hallucinations. Reported ~45% accuracy improvement over keyword search and implemented end-to-end orchestration, monitoring, CI/CD, and incremental re-indexing to manage latency and data freshness while driving adoption with business stakeholders.”

“AI/LLM engineer with healthcare domain experience who built a production clinical support “chart bot” for Molina, including PHI-safe ingestion of 200k+ PDF policies, vector retrieval, and a fine-tuned LLaMA served via vLLM on ECS Fargate. Demonstrated measurable performance wins (HNSW + namespace partitioning; 30% inference latency reduction) and a rigorous evaluation/monitoring approach, while partnering closely with nurses and operations teams to shape workflows and guardrails.”

Mid-level AI/ML Engineer specializing in LLMs, MLOps, and cloud-native ML

San Antonio, TX5y exp

“LLM/agent engineer at USAA who built a production GPT-4o RAG conversational assistant for financial analysts, focused on regulatory interpretation and internal documentation search. Emphasizes compliance-grade reliability with strict grounding, safe fallbacks, and full auditability via MLflow/DVC plus human-in-the-loop review; reports ~45% reduction in ticket resolution time.”

“Full-stack + ML engineer who built “Finsight,” a real-time financial risk platform (React/FastAPI/MongoDB/AWS Lambda) processing 2M+ records monthly, using sharding and Redis caching (60% DB load reduction) plus async and batch optimizations. Also has healthcare product experience at Apollo Healthcare, partnering directly with clinicians/admins to design and iterate EHR dashboards via Figma prototyping and user testing, and demonstrates clear system design thinking for real-time voice-to-LLM architectures.”

“Robotics software engineer with deep ROS2 experience who built a modular autonomous robotics stack (perception/sensor fusion, localization+mapping, and planning). Led development of a LiDAR+camera fusion and multi-object tracking pipeline (PCL + YOLO + Kalman filtering) and debugged real-time SLAM/localization issues via QoS/timestamp synchronization, EKF tuning, and SLAM Toolbox parameter optimization using Gazebo/RViz and rosbag replay.”

“Built a production AI-powered customer support Q&A system using an internal knowledge base to reduce repetitive ticket work and improve customer satisfaction, with an emphasis on source-backed answers and expert oversight. Also has experience defining deployment services in a microservices architecture and integrating large-scale APIs (including work connected to US HHS/COVID-19).”

“Built and deployed an LLM-powered mental health therapy assistant at AppHealth that segments users by stress level and delivers personalized, non-medical guidance. Implemented healthcare-focused safety guardrails (secondary LLM output filtering) and a multi-agent router workflow validated via statistical tests and therapist review, then scaled training/inference on AWS (EC2/Lambda/DynamoDB) with Kubernetes.”

“Built and deployed a production LLM-powered support assistant for customer support agents using a RAG architecture over internal docs and past tickets, with human-in-the-loop review. Demonstrates strong applied LLM engineering focused on real-world constraints (hallucinations, latency, cost) using routing to smaller models, reranking, caching, and rigorous evaluation/monitoring (offline eval sets, A/B tests, KPI tracking).”
