“Built a production-grade, semi-automated document recognition and classification system for large volumes of scanned PDFs, starting from little/no labeled data and handling highly variable scan quality. Deployed on AWS using SageMaker + Docker and orchestrated on EKS with a microservices design that scales CPU-heavy OCR separately from GPU inference, with strong reliability controls (validation, fallbacks, retries, readiness probes).”

“Software engineer who deployed and stabilized a real-time analytics platform at Senecio Software, focusing on production reliability, observability, and performance under load.

“LLM/agentic AI builder who deployed a production ITSM automation agent on Google ADK integrating ServiceNow and FreshService, with strong safety guardrails (human-approval gating and runbook-only command execution) and rigorous evaluation (500 synthetic tickets; 80%+ false-positive reduction). Also partnered with finance to deliver an AI agent that automated invoice/SOW retrieval and monthly reporting to account managers, reducing manual back-and-forth.”

“Built and deployed a production-grade, multi-agent Text-to-SQL assistant that lets non-technical stakeholders query large enterprise databases in natural language. Uses Pinecone-based schema retrieval + LLM reasoning (Gemini/Claude/GPT) with a dedicated validation agent (schema/syntax checks and safe dry runs) to reduce hallucinations and improve reliability, while optimizing latency and cost via async execution and embedding caching.”

“Graduate student taking advanced coursework in NLP, generative image modeling, and computer vision; built a PPO reinforcement-learning agent for a Super Mario platformer with careful reward shaping and metric-driven evaluation. In a recent internship designing credit risk models, created a 10-method feature-selection voting framework and achieved ~10% out-of-sample performance improvement while reducing features to mitigate overfitting.”

“Data/ML practitioner who has built a production RAG-based knowledge assistant integrated into Microsoft 365/internal dashboards to help employees query internal documents in plain English. Experienced orchestrating and hardening ETL pipelines with Airflow and Azure Data Factory (validation, retries, monitoring) and running end-to-end model evaluation and production performance tracking via Power BI.”

“Data/ML platform engineer with ~6 years in financial services and enterprise data platforms, building regulated fraud/credit-risk pipelines on AWS (Airflow, EMR/Spark, MLflow) and an Azure lakehouse ingesting 50+ sources and serving ~100M records/day. Also led an early-stage deployment of a RAG-based internal AI search tool using AWS Bedrock and LangChain with automated evaluation to validate LLM accuracy.”

“LLM engineer/data analyst who built a production RAG QA assistant over the Jurafsky & Martin NLP textbook to reduce hallucinations and provide explainable, source-grounded answers. Experienced with LangChain/LangGraph orchestration, retrieval optimization (embeddings, vector DBs, caching), and rigorous evaluation/monitoring (Retrieval@K, A/B tests, telemetry/drift). Previously communicated analytics insights to non-technical stakeholders at GS Analytics using Power BI and simplified reporting.”

“Data scientist who has built production LLM agents (GPT-4o + LangChain + RAG) to automate analyst-style ad hoc CSV analysis with guardrails and GPT-as-a-judge evaluation. Also delivered an explainable healthcare NLP system for ICD code classification by collaborating closely with clinicians, using a hybrid rule-based decision tree + BERT model to reach 97% accuracy and cut manual review time.”

Mid-level AI Engineer specializing in Generative AI, LLMs, and RAG

Charlotte, NC5y exp

“Internship at Discovery Education building a production LLM/RAG chatbot that let marketing and sales teams query and interpret Looker/BI dashboards in natural language, with responses grounded in compliance and state education standards. Emphasizes rigorous evaluation (faithfulness/precision/recall/latency) plus user-feedback analytics, and used LangChain for orchestration, chunking/context-window control, and integration with enterprise sources like SharePoint.”

Junior Data Scientist specializing in machine learning, predictive modeling, and applied AI research

2y exp

“Data scientist/researcher who has built two multimodal LLM systems: an AI-assisted medical triage pipeline using GPT-4o vision + RAG with confidence-scored red/yellow/green outputs, and a master’s project on multimodal cyberthreat detection combining multiple models and using TinyLlama to generate human-readable risk reports. Also partnered with business analysts at Sanvar Technologies to deliver a churn prediction pipeline and Tableau dashboard for decision-making.”

“Built and deployed real-world systems end-to-end across security and healthcare contexts: led a 3-person team delivering a university vehicle tracking system with 30% cost savings and 1-year post-launch monitoring. Also implemented a healthcare RAG chatbot with adaptive query routing that cut LLM costs by 40% while maintaining answer accuracy, and has experience debugging non-deterministic LLM behavior in DevOps pipeline automation.”
