Senior Data Scientist / ML Engineer specializing in GenAI, LLMs, and NLP

Texarkana, TX10y exp

“ML/NLP engineer focused on production GenAI and data linking systems: built a large-scale RAG pipeline over millions of support docs using LangChain/Pinecone and added a LangGraph-based validation layer to cut hallucinations ~40%. Also built scalable PySpark entity resolution (95%+ accuracy) and fine-tuned Sentence-BERT embeddings with contrastive learning for ~30% relevance lift, with strong CI/CD and observability practices (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus/Grafana).”

Staff/Lead Data Scientist specializing in Generative AI, NLP/LLMs, and MLOps

Pascagoula, MS10y exp

“Lead Data Scientist (10+ years) with recent work in healthcare data: built production pipelines that unify EHR, genomics, and clinical notes using NLP (spaCy/BERT/BioBERT) and scalable Spark-based processing. Also led development of domain-specific LLM/NLP systems for chatbots and semantic search, deploying models via FastAPI/Flask and improving retrieval with FAISS-backed, fine-tuned clinical embeddings and RAG-style workflows.”

Mid-level Full-Stack Developer specializing in cloud microservices and AI/ML integration

Remote, USA4y exp

“Full-stack engineer (~3 years) with eBay production experience building and operating high-scale, event-driven Python microservices for order processing and AI-powered recommendations (Kafka/Redis/FastAPI on AWS with Prometheus/Grafana). Also delivered polished React+TypeScript analytics dashboards and designed high-concurrency PostgreSQL schemas with significant latency reductions. Recently built AI-agent orchestration and an interactive node-based requirements dashboard for Siemens Polarion via MCP servers, improving user interaction by ~17.8%+.”

Mid-level Generative AI Engineer specializing in RAG, agentic copilots, and regulated AI

5y exp

“Senior engineer who built and productionized an Azure-based Enterprise AI Copilot for financial/compliance teams, focused on grounded, auditable answers with citations to reduce hallucinations in regulated workflows. Experienced designing multi-step agent orchestration and improving reliability through targeted iterations (e.g., fixing chunking/parsing to materially improve citation accuracy), plus building defensive pipelines for messy ERP/operational finance data.”

“Built end-to-end LLM/RAG systems for biological data and scientific literature analysis in a drug discovery setting, helping researchers explore disease insights and treatment hypotheses faster. Combines applied GenAI product work with strong production engineering, including monitoring, retrieval optimization, reusable Python services, and scalable deployment on AWS/Kubeflow.”

“Internship experience building a production LLM-powered podcast operations agent that automated lead intake (HubSpot), guest research, scheduling (Calendly), meeting-summary evaluation (Gemini), and human approval via Slack bot—while retaining rejected candidates for future outreach. Also contributed to ideation of a multi-agent orchestration framework with parsing and task routing, and emphasized reliability via structured prompts, HITL feedback, and prompt-based test sets.”

“LLM engineer who has deployed privacy-preserving, real-time workplace risk monitoring over massive enterprise chat/email streams, tackling latency, hallucinations, and extreme class imbalance with model benchmarking, RAG + fine-tuning, and a pre-filter alerting layer. Also built an agentic legal contract drafting system (Jurisagent) using LangGraph/LangChain with deterministic multi-agent control flow, structured outputs, and reliability-focused evaluation/telemetry.”
