Vetted spaCy Professionals

“Backend-focused engineer who built an academic AI voice assistant with a Python microservice-style backend (speech recognition, spaCy-based NLP, and Kafka-driven automation) optimized to sub-500ms latency. Also has Sodexo internship experience deploying containerized services across Kubernetes/AWS ECS/Azure using ArgoCD GitOps, including solving config drift and secret-management challenges and supporting cloud-to-on-prem migrations with blue-green rollouts.”

“Built and deployed a production generative-AI copilot at Tungsten that automates invoice/form extraction template creation, reducing weeks of manual model-building work. Combines fine-tuned LLMs (PyTorch/HuggingFace) with OpenCV layout grounding to reduce hallucinations, and runs an end-to-end Kubeflow-based MLOps pipeline with drift monitoring, canary releases, and automated retraining.”

Senior Software Engineer specializing in full-stack systems, big data, and applied AI

Baton Rouge, LA6y exp

“Built and deployed ForensicLLM, a local domain-specific LLaMA-3.1-8B model for digital forensic investigators using RAFT + RAG over 1000+ curated research papers, with citation-aware responses and rigorous evaluation (BERTScore/G-Eval). Deployed via vLLM and Docker and validated through a chatbot survey with 80+ participants; published at DFRWS EU 2025.”

Shuchi Shah

Senior Software Engineer specializing in Backend Systems and Generative AI (RAG)

San Jose, CA12y exp

“Backend engineer with experience building an end-to-end civic tech AI platform that ingests city council meeting videos, transcribes them with Whisper, and enables natural-language Q&A via a LangChain/FAISS RAG pipeline. Demonstrated strong systems thinking by tuning retrieval for accuracy/latency/memory (cutting response time ~3s→1s and memory ~500MB→25MB) and by safely migrating an ERP from monolith toward services using dual writes, reconciliation, and idempotency to protect financial workflows.”

“Built and deployed a production AI accessibility platform that turns chart and image-based graphs into real-time audio narratives for visually impaired users. Implemented a ResNet-based CV + OCR + NLP + TTS pipeline and improved performance through preprocessing, Redis caching, and Kubernetes autoscaling/rolling updates on AWS to handle traffic spikes with no downtime.”

“Built and deployed a production AI-powered personalized learning platform (Django + FastAPI) featuring an LLM+RAG tutoring assistant and automated grading. Demonstrates strong applied LLM reliability engineering (structured JSON outputs with Pydantic validation, hallucination control via FAISS-based RAG thresholds and refusals) plus scalable async microservice design and Airflow-orchestrated ETL across AWS/GCP.”

Tharun Chowdary Malepati

Screened

Mid-level AI/ML Engineer specializing in GenAI, NLP, and production MLOps

5y exp

“AI/LLM engineer who built and deployed a production healthcare RAG chatbot ("DoctorBot") with strict medical safety guardrails, an 85% confidence-gated verification layer, and latency optimizations that cut responses from ~8s to ~2–3s. Also worked on finflow.ai to generate finance/banking test cases from BRDs, collaborating closely with non-technical domain stakeholders, and has hands-on orchestration experience with LangChain/LangGraph and agentic evaluation/monitoring practices.”

“AI/ML engineer with hands-on experience owning production deployments from discovery through post-launch stabilization, including real-time computer vision/OCR systems and LLM-powered RAG workflows. Stands out for translating messy customer workflows into reliable backend services, debugging non-deterministic retrieval issues, and hardening AI systems with validation, monitoring, and human-review fallbacks.”

“Built a production-grade clinical and insurance document AI system in a HIPAA/PHI-regulated environment, taking it from experimentation through Azure deployment, monitoring, and iterative improvement. Stands out for translating RAG/LLM research into reliable microservices with strong safety controls, drift monitoring, and human-in-the-loop workflows that cut manual review time by 60-70%.”

“ML/AI engineer with hands-on experience building healthcare and fraud-detection systems from experimentation through deployment, monitoring, and retraining. Stands out for combining real-time IoT pipelines, cloud-native MLOps, and GenAI/RAG in regulated healthcare settings, with reported impact including reduced emergency response times and a 25% reduction in manual diagnosis time.”
