“Internship project building and deploying a LLaMA-based, RAG-enabled copilot inside a Professional Services Automation platform, enabling natural-language navigation, text-to-SQL reporting, and project/resource/budget insights across multiple modules. Addressed real production issues like context drift and vague queries with hybrid search, metadata enrichment, and an intent classification/rewriting layer, orchestrated via Apache Airflow—ultimately cutting PMO reporting time by 40%.”

“Master’s capstone at Stevens: conceptualized and helped build a cross-platform assistive mobile app for visually impaired users with currency detection (ML), voice-driven AI chatbot (OpenRouter), and a guided navigation video-call feature using a shared room code. Personally implemented Firebase login/sign-in, facial-recognition login, video calling, chatbot integration, and led integration/testing across the full app.”

“Open-source-focused TypeScript/JavaScript engineer who built a lightweight Node.js utility library to standardize LLM-agent message formatting, tool invocation, and safe schema-validated JSON outputs. Emphasizes composable abstractions, real-world performance profiling/benchmarks, and strong community feedback loops (GitHub issues, structured errors, logging hooks). Also did research at Syracuse University on converting natural language into structured JSON with validation layers.”

“Software engineer (Lance Soft Engineering) who built a Java/gRPC real-time request tracking system supporting ~20K simultaneous requests, using Kafka event streaming and PostgreSQL to improve transparency and cut support requests by 35%. Demonstrates strong production operations skills—resolved live latency spikes with Kafka async messaging (+48% throughput) and executed safe migrations using parallel runs, staging validation, and blue-green deployments.”

“Robotics software engineer with thesis work optimizing the Autoware perception pipeline via DDS/synchronization tuning for lower latency and better throughput, plus hands-on ROS1/ROS2 experience deploying perception (YOLOv8) and SLAM/localization on real vehicles and delivery robots. Has practical debugging depth (Kalman filter crashes, transformation/scan-matching issues) and CI/CD automation experience with Jenkins.”

“Co-op engineer who owned and shipped a Python/Flask backend for automating architecture reviews and system metadata processing, including ingestion from multiple internal APIs, RBAC, testing, and deployment. Has hands-on Kubernetes + GitOps (ArgoCD) experience, built Kafka-based real-time ingestion, and supported a cloud-to-on-prem migration with phased cutover, smoke tests, and performance tuning.”

“Built a production AI-powered university marking system that automates question generation and grading from PDF course materials using a RAG pipeline (S3 + Pinecone) orchestrated with LangChain/LangGraph and deployed on AWS ECS via Docker/ECR and GitHub Actions CI/CD. Addressed a key real-world LLM challenge—grading consistency—by implementing rubric-based scoring, retrieval re-ranking, and standardized context summarization, validated against human instructors.”

“PhD in computer engineering who has built production-oriented ML/NLP systems for space-weather prediction using Spark-based ETL on noisy satellite sensor logs. Strong in entity resolution and semantic search—fine-tuned E5 embeddings with contrastive learning and deployed to Pinecone, improving top-5 retrieval precision by 25%—and emphasizes scalable, observable pipelines with Airflow, Docker, and CI/CD.”

“Frontend-leaning engineer who shipped an end-to-end map-based discovery feature in a React Native mobile app, integrating location-based REST APIs with strong UX polish (loading/empty/error states) and cross-platform performance fixes. Also has experience building a Python backend with JWT auth and layered service structure, plus prior infrastructure work setting up centralized logging and monitoring.”

“Software engineering capstone contributor who helped kickstart an ambiguous, real-client project ("The Virtual Cowboy") by designing the initial relational database and CRUD foundation, then prioritized and shipped simulation/event functionality that satisfied the client.
