Mid-level Generative AI Engineer specializing in LLM agents and RAG applications

Boston, MA4y exp

“GenAI builder and technical lead with ~2 years of hands-on production experience, including GENIE (a GenAI sandbox for ~44,000 Massachusetts public-sector employees) and A-IEP, a multilingual platform helping parents understand complex IEP documents (cut processing from ~15 minutes to ~2 and used by 1,000+ parents). Strong in RAG/agentic architectures, AWS serverless + Step Functions orchestration, and rigorous evaluation/guardrails for reliable real-world deployments.”

Junior AI Software Engineer specializing in LLM agents, RAG, and healthcare NLP

MA, U.S.A1y exp

“Backend engineer who built an agentic LLM system for private equity/finance that answers questions over enterprise contracts and documents using a vector-db RAG pipeline. Differentiator is a trust-focused citation framework (with highlighted source text) to reduce hallucinations in high-stakes workflows, plus strong DevOps experience deploying microservices on Kubernetes with Helm/GitOps and building Kafka real-time pipelines.”

Junior Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in Java/Spring Boot and React

Boston, MA2y exp

“Backend engineer (IpserLab) who owned Python services for a production quiz/analytics platform, focusing on reliability and low-latency behavior under peak load. Hands-on with Kubernetes + Docker deployments and GitHub Actions CI/CD in a GitOps-style workflow, including solving configuration drift and enabling fast rollbacks. Also implemented Kafka-based event streaming with idempotent consumers and strong observability (lag tracking, structured logging, alerting).”

“Full-stack AI engineer who built Skillmatch AI, an LLM/RAG-based job matching platform using FastAPI microservices, Airflow-orchestrated async pipelines, and Pinecone vector search (sub-second retrieval across 50k+ vectors) deployed on GCP with autoscaling. Also partnered directly with a cancer researcher to automate SEER + PubMed-driven report generation via an AI pipeline, emphasizing rapid prototyping and outcome-focused communication.”

Mid-Level Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in Java/Spring and React

Boston, MA4y exp

“Full-stack engineer who has shipped a real-time social engagement feature (live messaging + personalized feeds) for a career networking platform, owning everything from WebSockets/SSE and JWT+Redis auth through Docker/Kubernetes production deployment. Also built a production Flask backend for an AI-driven movie recommendation system on AWS, with strong API design (versioning/error standards) and hands-on performance tuning (Typesense +47% query improvement, Postgres indexing, Redis caching, CloudWatch-driven incident response).”

“Robotics simulation/localization engineer who built a lunar crater navigation stack in ROS/ROS2 and Gazebo, including custom localization/perception/planning packages. Demonstrated strong debugging skills by using tf2 frame analysis to fix camera-to-base_link alignment, cutting heading error from 75° to 0.48°, and handled large NASA lunar imagery (~4GB) by converting/downsampling data for Gazebo.”

“At Unar Labs, built and operationalized LLM capabilities inside a cloud-native SaaS product, emphasizing production reliability (fallbacks, observability, cost/latency/quality monitoring) and iterative improvement from user feedback. Also acts as a customer-facing technical lead—running developer demos/workshops and supporting sales through discovery, pilots/POCs, and technical walkthroughs to drive production adoption.”

“Backend/cloud engineer with hands-on ownership of a climate data extraction pipeline (BeautifulSoup + Pandas ETL + CRON) that automated 50k+ monthly data points and removed ~20 hours/week of manual work. Also built a multi-AZ Kubernetes deployment for a Node.js system using Terraform and GitHub Actions (blue-green, rollbacks) and has Kafka/FastAPI experience from a healthcare plan management project.”

Mid-Level Software Engineer specializing in cloud-native microservices

Boston, MA3y exp

“Built and shipped both a solo real-time multiplayer Spades game (TypeScript monorepo with shared client/server engine) and a production internal LLM-powered document Q&A tool for a SaaS company. Demonstrates strong RAG pipeline design (Pinecone + embeddings + reranking), rigorous eval/regression practices, and pragmatic data ingestion/observability work across Confluence, Notion, and messy PDFs/OCR—backed by clear metric improvements (P@1 61%→78%, escalations 40%→22%).”

Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in LLM agents and cloud-native systems

Boston, MA4y exp

“Built and shipped production LLM agents in compliance-sensitive environments (FERPA), emphasizing reliability via structured outputs, state-graph orchestration (LangGraph), and CI-driven eval/regression testing. Also has experience hardening messy ERP ingestion pipelines at scale (50K monthly orders) with normalization, idempotency/deduplication, and robust failure handling using AWS (SQS/CloudWatch) and PostgreSQL.”
