Junior AI/ML & Mobile Engineer specializing in LLMs, synthetic data, and React Native

New York, United States1y exp

“Currently at Uplift AI shipping production LLM features that generate personalized growth insights from user reflections using BERT + embeddings + RAG, with strong safety/guardrail practices for sensitive contexts. Also built an end-to-end React Native UGC challenge submission/moderation system that improved repeat submissions and 7-day retention, and has applied rigorous clinical-style evaluation methods on a dental X-ray disease detection project to reduce false negatives.”

“FinTech engineer who has owned customer-facing onboarding deployments end-to-end, combining React/Node.js application development with workflow automation and post-launch operational metrics. They also implemented an LLM-driven onboarding assistant using contextual prompts and backend orchestration, and showed practical production experience debugging non-deterministic AI behavior caused by stale pipeline context.”

“Backend engineer (Encore) who led the evaluation and redesign of a high-volume, low-latency real-time retrieval/ranking and inference platform on AWS, shifting from tightly coupled services to a modular architecture for better fault isolation and independent scaling. Strong focus on production reliability, observability, and security (JWT/RBAC, multi-tenant scoping, Postgres/Supabase RLS), with disciplined migration playbooks (feature flags, shadow traffic, dual writes/reconciliation).”

“AI/ML engineer with hands-on experience owning production deployments from discovery through post-launch stabilization, including real-time computer vision/OCR systems and LLM-powered RAG workflows. Stands out for translating messy customer workflows into reliable backend services, debugging non-deterministic retrieval issues, and hardening AI systems with validation, monitoring, and human-review fallbacks.”

“Built a Gemini-powered conversational shopping assistant for a retail jewelry client end-to-end, including LLM integration, Firestore data layer, UI, stock validation, and owner-facing analytics. Also architected multi-agent research workflows with CrewAI/OpenAI and shows strong judgment around validation gates, idempotency, and fail-loudly design for messy real-world operational systems.”
