Vetted XGBoost Professionals

“Research Extern at Google DeepMind and former AWS Software Development Engineer Intern with a strong focus on practical, trustworthy AI engineering. Built a multi-agent RAG system for personalized news headline generation using a fine-tuned Flan-T5 model, parallel critic agents, FAISS retrieval, and style embeddings, while also leading a 3-person team on the project.”

“Full-stack engineer with a strong mix of real-time product engineering and applied AI experience. Built and deployed a production stock trading simulator on AWS and an LLM-based customer support agent with RAG/tooling, and also shipped a zero-to-one in-store detection feature at Meituan that improved CTR by 7% and conversion by 11%.”

“Full-stack AI engineer who has built both document-intelligence products and agentic investigation systems end to end. At ControlRooms.AI, they helped ship a production-facing root cause investigation workflow for industrial operations using Neo4j, FastMCP, RAG, OCR/VLM inputs, and multiple LLMs, contributing to roughly a 10x reduction in manual investigation time. They stand out for designing explainable, traceable AI systems that surface evidence, uncertainty, and missing context rather than forcing overconfident answers.”

“ML/AI engineer with experience at Uber and Scale AI, focused on customer service automation across both classical NLP and generative AI systems. Has owned systems from experimentation through production on AWS, including LLM fine-tuning, RAG optimization, safety evaluation, and internal Python platform tooling that improved consistency and engineering velocity.”

Harrison, NJ4y exp

“ML/LLM engineer at Adobe who deployed a transformer-based personalization and campaign-targeting recommender system end-to-end, including PySpark/Airflow pipelines processing 12M+ events/day and containerized inference on AWS SageMaker (Docker/Kubernetes). Also has hands-on LLM workflow experience (RAG, semantic search, prompt optimization, hallucination mitigation) with a metrics-driven approach to reliability, drift monitoring, and reproducible retraining via MLflow.”

“Built GenMedX, a multi-module clinical AI system for emergency department decision support spanning triage prediction, diagnosis, medication Q&A, and visit summarization. Stands out for combining medical LLM fine-tuning, RAG, and rigorous evaluation/monitoring to drive a major triage recall improvement from 38.5% to 76.6%, with a strong focus on safety, edge-case detection, and production reliability.”

“AI product leader with end-to-end experience building revenue-generating products and internal AI platforms across legal tech, edtech, and neurofeedback healthcare. At Clio, they helped launch the company's first AI offerings, drove $60K MRR in two months, scaled the AI team from 15 to 45, and enabled 12 additional AI applications across the business. They also bring a strong human-centered AI perspective from building tutor matching, lesson-planning, and clinician recommendation systems.”

“Built a production internal knowledge assistant using a RAG pipeline over large spreadsheets, PDFs, and support documents, using transformer embeddings stored in FAISS. Focused on real-world production challenges—format normalization, retrieval quality, hallucination reduction (context-only + citations), and latency—using hybrid retrieval, quantization, and containerized deployment, and communicated the workflow to non-technical stakeholders using simple analogies.”

USA5y exp

“Built production GenAI systems in both healthcare and financial services, including a Verily clinical platform and an Accenture financial Q&A product. Stands out for combining advanced RAG, fine-tuning, safety evaluation, and infrastructure engineering to deliver measurable gains in engagement, groundedness, hallucination reduction, and cost efficiency.”

“AI/LLM-focused engineer with hands-on experience building RAG pipelines, prompt engineering workflows, and multi-agent systems using tools like LangChain. Stands out for combining AI-assisted development with production-grade validation and for leading the architecture/orchestration of agent-based recommendation systems that improved response time, accuracy, and scalability.”

“ML/LLM engineer with production experience building a multi-GPU LLM inference platform using TensorRT and vLLM, achieving ~40% p95 latency reduction through batching/KV caching, quantization, and CUDA/runtime tuning. Also has end-to-end orchestration experience (Kubernetes, Airflow) and has delivered real-time fraud detection systems at Accenture in close collaboration with non-technical risk and product stakeholders.”

Junior AI/ML Engineer specializing in FinTech and generative AI

Remote, USA2y exp

“Built an end-to-end AI bug triage dashboard that combined React/TypeScript, FastAPI, Postgres, and classical ML to reduce manual engineering triage work by about 40%. Stands out for pragmatic, product-minded AI engineering: choosing interpretable models when they were sufficient, designing human-in-the-loop UX for trust, and separately building an agentic RAG project with vector search, Neo4j knowledge graphs, and reranking.”

“Built and owned an LLM support copilot at Stripe focused on improving agent ticket resolution. Designed the backend and ML system end to end, using RAG, Redis caching, hybrid vector search, and LoRA fine-tuning to achieve 40% lower latency and 22% higher response accuracy, with continuous quality monitoring via Ragas and related evaluation frameworks.”
