Mid-level AI/ML Engineer specializing in LLM infrastructure, RAG, and agentic systems

New York City, NY3y exp

“Stripe engineer who owned and unified multiple team RAG systems into a shared production platform used by 200+ internal operators, deployed on EKS with Kafka ingestion and hybrid retrieval. Drove measurable business outcomes including <400ms latency, ~35% inference cost reduction, ~25% accuracy lift via fine-tuning, and real-time auto-approval of 80%+ merchant compliance applications through strong observability and reliability patterns.”

“Unity/C# gameplay engineer who has shipped a modular, data-driven combat ability system with strong measurable outcomes (≈80% fewer GC allocations, 15–20% better frame times, 10–12% higher early retention). Also integrated an LLM-driven NPC dialogue/quest hint system with a C#/.NET backend, caching/guardrails, and telemetry-driven iteration, and shipped Photon PUN real-time 4-player co-op plus a shared codebase across Meta Quest VR and iOS/Android.”

“Front-end engineer who significantly owned the Microsoft Teams personal copilot web experience for enterprise customers, including real-time streaming chat powered by WebSockets and bot infrastructure. Stands out for combining browser UI architecture, accessibility/localization work across 30 languages, and strong production telemetry/incident ownership for reliability at scale.”

“Marketing and brand communications professional who has operated in a product-adjacent capacity and recently built a web app, Sync Circle, end to end as a graduate project. Brings a blend of digital customer experience, MVP product thinking, and research-data workflow experience, including AWS-based scraping and documentation practices relevant to structured, transparent research environments.”

“Amazon Prime Video backend engineer who built and operated high-traffic Python/FastAPI services and AWS-native data/batch systems. Demonstrates strong production reliability and incident ownership (CloudWatch/X-Ray), plus measurable performance wins (8s to <200ms query latency, ~40% CPU reduction) and cost-focused architectures (Lambda + ECS/Fargate with Fargate Spot).”

“Data science/NLP practitioner with experience at NVIDIA and Microsoft building production-grade NLP and data-linking systems. Has delivered high-performing pipelines (e.g., F1 0.92) and large-scale entity resolution (F1 0.89), plus semantic search using embeddings and Pinecone with ~30–40% relevance gains, backed by rigorous validation (A/B tests, ROUGE, MRR) and strong MLOps/workflow tooling (Airflow, Databricks, FastAPI, MLflow, Prometheus/ELK).”

“ML/NLP engineer with experience building production-grade legal-tech and data platforms, including a GPT-4/LangChain contract review system using ElasticSearch embeddings (RAG) deployed on AWS EKS. Strong in entity resolution and scalable batch/streaming pipelines (Kafka/Spark), with measurable impact (70%+ reduction in contract review time) and a focus on monitoring and CI/CD for reliable delivery.”

“ML/robotics engineer with Apple experience who built a computer-vision-driven industrial defect detection system integrating a robotic arm with ROS-based real-time inference on an edge GPU. Drove major performance gains (cut inference time ~60% via quantization + TensorRT) and improved robustness to lighting/material variation, with strong emphasis on production reliability (health checks, watchdogs, observability, CI/CD) and interest in shaping early-stage startup engineering culture.”

“Engineering leader in cloud security at SysTech with player-coach experience spanning cross-team data/ownership standardization and reporting platform user-journey improvements. Stays technically deep through observability (SLA/SLOs, dashboards, alerting), rigorous code reviews (including AI-assisted coding), and end-to-end incident ownership in IAM/agentless cloud event collection. Targeting $270K–$300K base plus bonus/equity.”
