Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in backend systems and workflow automation

Birmingham, AL4y exp

“Early-career AI engineer currently pursuing a Master's, with hands-on experience building and improving RAG pipelines using LangChain. They stand out for moving beyond naive retrieval into multi-step retrieval and feedback-loop designs to reduce hallucinations, and are now exploring multi-agent systems with distinct retrieval, coding, and validation roles.”

“Built and deployed a production LLM-powered workflow assistant that automated internal marketing/production business tasks (document summarization, repeated Q&A, status updates). Demonstrates end-to-end applied LLM engineering: modular RAG architecture, hallucination/latency mitigation, automated evals to prevent prompt regressions, and Azure-based orchestration (Functions/Logic Apps) with monitoring and controlled rollouts.”

“NLP/ML practitioner who built an explainable, clinician-aligned system to detect cognitive decline (Alzheimer’s/stroke-related) from audio responses, achieving 97% accuracy on only a few hundred data points. Also has experience with healthcare claims entity resolution and prototyped a word2vec-based patent search vector database in Elasticsearch, with strong emphasis on testing, interpretability, and scalable Python data workflows.”

“Built and productionized an LLM-powered support/knowledge pipeline using embeddings and retrieval (RAG) to deliver more grounded, higher-quality responses while reducing manual effort.
