Vetted spaCy Professionals

“Frontend-focused builder who worked on the VITALES.LIFE healthcare app using Next.js/React Native alongside multiple backend technologies (NestJS, Go, Python/FastAPI) on Firebase/GCP. Has experience delivering client-driven MVPs (e.g., Omnicommander, Talentus) and uses Jest for test coverage while emphasizing code reuse and non-duplicative components.”

“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 Applied AI and FinTech

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.”

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.”

“AI/ML engineer with 9+ years of experience building production recommendation and LLM systems end-to-end, from experimentation through deployment, monitoring, and retraining. Stands out for combining strong MLOps discipline with practical GenAI/RAG implementation, including measurable impact such as ~25% higher engagement on an e-commerce recommender and nearly 30% faster knowledge retrieval from internal documents.”

“Early-career candidate with academic data science and machine learning project experience, including a YouTube comment sentiment analysis project comparing LSTM and GRU models. Demonstrates a collaborative working style, structured task planning, and careful review of final deliverables in team-based project settings.”

“Full-stack/backend-leaning engineer who owned Shoptaki's Smart ID authentication platform end to end, building a centralized identity system that secured four services and removed duplicated auth logic. Also introduced and operationalized Claude Code in a TypeScript microservices environment, using prompt refinement, CI, and code review guardrails to improve development speed without compromising architecture or security.”

Junior Data Analyst specializing in machine learning and institutional research

Bowling Green, OH2y exp

“Data/automation engineer with experience turning manual institutional reporting into production self-service analytics at BGSU, cutting turnaround time by 30% and eliminating semesterly reconciliation work. Also brings PySpark-based legacy data normalization experience at Hexaware and has built RAG-style LLM workflows with evaluation metrics and human-review guardrails.”

“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.”
