Vetted Semantic Search Professionals

“Built and deployed LLM-powered features for a startup organizational management application, focusing on real-world deployment constraints like latency and cost. Implemented RAG with FAISS and improved retrieval quality by switching embedding models (OpenAI/Hugging Face) and fine-tuning embeddings on medical corpora for a medical-report UI feature. Uses LangChain and LangGraph to orchestrate multi-node LLM API workflows and evaluates systems with metrics like latency, cost per request, and error taxonomy.”

“IT Analyst/research background with hands-on experience deploying and hardening a multi-agent AI support/triage system (ticket ingestion + knowledge-base retrieval) with strong emphasis on reliability and observability. Has debugged real production issues spanning backend services and network latency (sync failures/partial writes) and is comfortable in Linux environments; also has academic exposure to robotics simulation and ROS2.”

Junior Data & AI Engineer specializing in cloud AI and analytics

Remote3y exp

“Built production AI backend systems in healthcare and e-commerce, including a healthcare agent that automated clinical workflows like medication refills, immunizations, and scheduling using FHIR APIs and cloud-native infrastructure. Strong in end-to-end backend ownership, LLM orchestration, and adding guardrails/validation for high-stakes and customer-facing AI workflows.”

“ML/NLP practitioner who has delivered production systems in regulated domains, including a healthcare compliance pipeline using RAG (GPT-4/Claude) plus TF-IDF retrieval that increased document review throughput 4.5x. Also has hands-on experience improving fraud detection data quality via entity resolution (Levenshtein, Dedupe.py) validated with A/B testing, and building scalable, monitored workflows with Airflow, CI/CD, and AWS SageMaker.”

“Built and shipped a production Python-based agentic RAG document retrieval system over 80K records using FastAPI, OCR, vector search, and AWS infrastructure, with a strong emphasis on reliability, testing, and observability. Stands out for treating AI failures like production incidents—turning hallucinations, retrieval misses, and OCR issues into regression tests—and for quantifiably reducing document lookup time from about 12 minutes to under 90 seconds.”

“Built a production-grade, semi-automated document recognition and classification system for large volumes of scanned PDFs, starting from little/no labeled data and handling highly variable scan quality. Deployed on AWS using SageMaker + Docker and orchestrated on EKS with a microservices design that scales CPU-heavy OCR separately from GPU inference, with strong reliability controls (validation, fallbacks, retries, readiness probes).”

“Full-stack/product-leaning engineer in logistics and high-traffic portals who ships production AI features: built an AI-assisted shipment status Q&A system using Pinecone + GPT-4 and a high-volume Python ingestion pipeline (500K+ records/day), delivering 35% fewer support tickets and cutting resolution time from 11 to 4 minutes. Also led a legacy Angular-to-React/TypeScript rebuild that boosted Lighthouse performance from 60 to 90, and has hands-on AWS EKS operations experience including resolving a 3x traffic scaling incident.”

“Software engineer with enterprise CPQ/CRM/ERP integration experience (Argano) who owned an end-to-end pricing preview capability deployed on AWS Kubernetes with Jenkins CI/CD and full observability (Prometheus/Grafana). Also built an AI-native research agent using LangChain + Chroma to filter academic papers, reporting ~15 hours/week saved for a professor.”

“Full-stack engineer who has delivered production customer analytics/dashboard features using Next.js App Router + TypeScript on the frontend and Java Spring Boot microservices on the backend. Demonstrates strong production ownership (monitoring latency/error rates/adoption) plus hands-on performance work across React rendering and Postgres query/index optimization, and has implemented Temporal-like durable workflows with retries and idempotency.”

Junior AI Data Engineer specializing in Azure Databricks lakehouse and GenAI RAG systems

Irving, TX2y exp

“Backend/applied AI engineer from Cloud Rack Systems who built production GenAI/RAG and data platforms on Azure/Databricks at enterprise scale (2.5M records/day). Known for making LLM systems behave like deterministic services via strict retrieval contracts, citation-based validation, and strong observability—shipping a knowledge assistant used daily by 50+ users while driving hallucinations near zero and materially improving latency and cost.”

“Independent builder of production-grade systems: shipped an end-to-end URL shortener with JWT auth, Redis rate limiting/caching, Postgres, Docker, and real-time analytics, and separately architected a Redis-backed distributed task queue handling 1000+ tasks/min. Demonstrates strong distributed-systems instincts (atomicity, retries/DLQ, idempotency, heartbeats) plus a focus on maintainable code and self-documenting APIs (FastAPI/OpenAPI, versioned routes).”

“Built a production ad-spend optimization system that combined deterministic audit logic with LLM-generated explanations, surfacing severe inefficiencies including 70-90% wasted spend in some Google Ads accounts. Stands out for pairing measurable business impact with pragmatic AI safety and usability decisions, including approval-gated execution and structured, human-readable recommendations.”

“Built GynAI, an end-to-end maternal clinical decision support platform for OB/GYN practices and hospitals in North America, combining predictive ML with RAG-based LLM explainability. The candidate emphasizes real production ownership across experimentation, deployment, monitoring, and iteration, with reported impact including fewer delayed interventions in high-risk pregnancies and a 15-20% reduction in false positives.”

“Production-focused ML/AI engineer with hands-on ownership across classical ML and GenAI systems, from CV/NLP services to enterprise RAG. Stands out for combining research-to-production execution with measurable business impact: 40% processing-efficiency gains, 35% fewer support tickets, 5x latency improvement, and 3x throughput gains while maintaining safety and quality.”
