Intern Machine Learning Engineer specializing in NLP and MLOps

Canada1y exp

“PhD-led research engineer who has shipped LLM-powered agents for automated knowledge extraction from STEM textbooks/papers into a graph database, reporting a 90% accuracy improvement and major reductions in manual curation time. Also built an end-to-end multi-agent news aggregation/sentiment pipeline using the Agno framework with Pydantic-structured outputs, retries, and monitoring, and has experience processing messy SEC filings.”

“Early-career builder with hands-on project experience spanning Python data processing, a Chrome extension for autofilling job applications, and a sign-language glove system integrating sensors, microcontrollers, and a web interface. Stands out for approaching student and project work with a production-minded focus on validation, modularity, edge cases, and reliability.”

“Built and operated a production TypeScript backend for a stateful conversational quoting chatbot at Tringapps, orchestrating multi-step workflows and session state while integrating with Salesforce and NetSuite. Implemented validation/retry logic, modular architecture, and strong logging/observability to handle real-world edge cases and external API failures.”

Junior Software Engineer specializing in distributed systems and full-stack web development

Ithaca, NY2y exp

“Software engineer at Cimpress owning end-to-end transactional pages for Pens.com (e-commerce). Built and integrated new discount experiences in a React/TypeScript + Node.js stack, focusing on modular component architecture to reduce tight coupling and avoid breaking existing functionality; prioritizes roadmap work using performance and conversion metrics.”

“Infrastructure/operations engineer with deep IBM Power/AIX experience (AIX 7.x, VIOS, HMC/vHMC) managing ~15–25 LPARs across production and DR, including live DLPAR changes and structured performance troubleshooting. Also hands-on with PowerHA/HACMP incident recovery and failover testing, plus broader DevOps delivery building Jenkins CI/CD for containerized microservices and Terraform/Ansible IaC across AWS and Azure, and leading Solaris SPARC to x86 migration cutovers.”

Mid-level Full-Stack Java Developer specializing in APIs and cloud microservices

Phoenix, AZ5y exp

“AI/LLM engineer who has shipped a production document-intelligence agent that automated internal support workflows using RAG, tool calling, and robust fallback controls. Stands out for combining hands-on architecture with measurable business impact: 85% faster query resolution, 35% lower LLM cost, 40% fewer LLM calls, and enough automation to avoid adding 2-3 support engineers.”

“Banking infrastructure engineer who owns large-scale IBM Power/AIX (AIX 7.x, VIOS, HMC/vHMC) environments with hundreds of LPARs and deep PowerHA/SAN recovery experience. Also builds modern cloud delivery platforms—Azure DevOps/Jenkins CI/CD and Terraform for AWS/Azure (EKS/AKS, networking, security)—bridging legacy mission-critical systems and cloud-native automation.”

“Full-stack engineer focused on high-throughput document/financial data platforms, building Angular/React front ends and Spring Boot microservices with Python/Flask services for heavy processing. Experienced in designing non-blocking, asynchronous workflows (Celery/RabbitMQ) and deploying containerized systems to AWS ECS with auto-scaling and CloudWatch monitoring.”

Senior Site Reliability Engineer specializing in cloud-native DevOps and Kubernetes

New City, NY13y exp

“IBM Power/AIX engineer with hands-on ownership of large AIX 7.1/7.2 environments (VIOS, HMC/vHMC) supporting enterprise middleware/back-end workloads. Demonstrated real production incident handling: identified CPU entitlement underprovisioning after a DLPAR change and restored performance via live CPU rebalancing, plus PowerHA failover execution and runbook/process hardening. Also builds secure CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins/GitLab/Azure DevOps with CyberArk) and Terraform IaC with drift management and controlled rollouts.”
