Vetted Time Series Forecasting Professionals

“AI engineer with production experience building a high-accuracy (98%) fraud detection system operating at real-time latency (1–2s) over millions of transactions, using a multi-model pipeline approach to meet performance constraints. Also implemented Airflow-orchestrated workflows (DAGs, retries, alerts) to replace brittle cron scripts and is currently pursuing a master’s project on real-time ASL-to-text conversion.”

“ML/NLP practitioner working across healthcare and business/finance use cases: currently fine-tuning a domain-specific Llama 3.1 model for safe reasoning over EHRs/clinical notes using RAG + RL/DPO and RAGAS-based evaluation. Has built UMLS-driven entity normalization pipelines with quantified quality gains and developed embedding/vector-DB systems (FAISS) for semantic matching and forecasting/recommendation applications at Aurora AI and Banxico.”

“New graduate with hands-on LLM work building a RAG pipeline (HNSW, lexical reranking/boosting, ReAct) and optimizing it through ablation to dramatically reduce latency. Also building a modular personal assistant with a custom wake word model, router-driven agent selection, and integrations like Spotify with secrets managed via .env.”

“ML engineer with production experience at PayPal and Flipkart, owning high-scale systems across fraud detection, recommendations, and LLM tooling. Stands out for combining strong modeling judgment with practical platform engineering, delivering measurable impact like 22% fewer fraud false positives, 18% CTR lift, 40% less LLM manual review, and 30% faster redeployments.”

“Architecture leader from Disney who managed system, AI, and data architects while staying hands-on in solution design. Has experience building LLM-based video advertising products, designing Kafka-based real-time data architectures, and using MVP/POC approaches to align product and executive stakeholders.”

Seattle, WA5y exp

“Full-stack engineer who built and owned an AI-assisted job-matching dashboard in Next.js App Router/TypeScript, keeping LLM logic server-side and improving performance via deduplication, caching/revalidation, and streaming (35% fewer duplicate LLM calls; 40% faster first render). Also has strong data/backend chops: designed Postgres models and optimized queries at million-record scale (1.8s to 120ms) and built durable AWS multi-region telemetry workflows with idempotency, retries, and monitoring.”

Senior Software Engineer specializing in AI/ML, computer vision, and cloud-native systems

Remote8y exp

“Independently built a production-grade, containerized enterprise agentic AI platform (stateful orchestration + RAG) focused on real-world reliability—guardrails, citation-based outputs, reranking, query rewriting, and evaluation harnesses to reduce hallucinations. Hands-on with OpenAI SDK, CrewAI, and LangGraph, and has delivered AI solutions for non-technical NGO stakeholders via demos and practical POCs.”

“GenAI/LLM engineer who architected and deployed a production RAG “research assistant” for JPMorgan Chase’s regulatory compliance team, focused on safety-critical behavior (mandatory citations, refusal when evidence is missing). Deep hands-on experience with LlamaIndex, Pinecone, Hugging Face embeddings, LangGraph agent workflows, and metric-driven evaluation (golden sets, TruLens), including a reported 28% relevancy lift via cross-encoder re-ranking.”

“Built and deployed a production LLM/RAG fraud investigation system to replace manual investigator workflows, combining transaction data, historical cases, and policy documents with agent-style steps and LoRA fine-tuning. Demonstrates strong reliability engineering (grounding, citations, abstention paths), performance optimization (retrieval/indexing/caching), and end-to-end MLOps orchestration using Azure ML Pipelines/MLflow plus Kubernetes/Argo with canary and rollback deployments.”

“LLM/MLOps engineer who has shipped production systems for complaint intelligence and contact-center NLU, including LoRA/RLHF-tuned LLaMA models deployed on GKE with vLLM and Vertex AI batch pipelines to BigQuery. Demonstrates strong practical focus on hallucination control, data imbalance mitigation, and production monitoring (Langfuse) with regression testing and canary rollouts, plus experience orchestrating complex workflows with AWS Step Functions.”

“Built and shipped a production LLM-powered RAG assistant for enterprise internal document search (PDFs, knowledge bases, structured data), addressing real-world issues like noisy documents, hallucinations, and latency with grounded prompting, retrieval-confidence fallbacks, and performance optimizations. Also partnered with compliance and business teams at JPMc to deliver a solution aligned with regulatory constraints, supported by monitoring, feedback loops, and systematic evaluation.”

“Data/ML engineer with experience across pharma (Dr. Reddy Laboratories) and financial services (Cincinnati Financial, Capital One), building production NLP and entity-resolution systems that connect messy unstructured text with enterprise SQL data. Delivered semantic search with BERT + vector DB and domain fine-tuning (reported ~35% relevance lift), and builds robust pipelines using Airflow/dbt/Spark with strong validation, monitoring, and stakeholder-aligned rollout practices.”

“ML/AI engineer with hands-on ownership of both classical ML and GenAI systems in production. They built an end-to-end churn prediction service on AWS and also shipped RAG-based document search/summarization features, with clear experience in monitoring, hallucination reduction, cost/latency optimization, and creating shared Python/LLM infrastructure used across teams.”

“GenAI/ML engineering leader (player-coach) who built and deployed an image-to-text production system for topology/resource diagrams, combining YOLO-based issue detection with an LLM to generate support-ready reports at scale. Heavy AWS stack (SageMaker, Step Functions, Lambda, CloudWatch, FastAPI, Kubernetes/Docker) with KPI-driven optimization (MTTR, P50), including ~21 custom labels and reported 30–50% faster issue identification while processing thousands of images in production.”
