Vetted Teaching Assistants in the Atlanta Metro

“LLM/multimodal systems builder who developed DuetGen, a practical multimodal interleaved text-image generation system using a decoupled MLLM planner and video-pretrained diffusion transformer for high-quality image generation with step-wise alignment. Built a 298K-sample interleaved dataset across 8 domains/151 subtasks and deployed a GPT-5-based automated evaluation framework; also has LangChain-based multimodal agent orchestration experience with custom state management and reliability testing.”

“Robotics software candidate with hands-on experience building controllers for an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, including dual-PID control in Python with state-space modeling and a planned path to LQR. Developed ROS nodes for odometry-based localization, waypoint planning, and control command publishing, validated through a custom Gazebo/ROS simulation workflow with control-metric-driven testing. Also worked on F1Tenth simulation and scan-matching localization (PL-ICP), with additional cloud deployment experience using Docker/Kubernetes and CI/CD.”

“Backend/AI engineer who has built an offline, citation-grounded RAG system end-to-end with hybrid retrieval, local LLM inference, and quantitative evaluation via RAGAS. Also brings real-time systems experience from an Airbnb-like booking platform and data pipeline/ML quality work from a Bilibili internship, with a strong emphasis on reliability, privacy, and measurable correctness.”

“LLM/agent engineer who shipped a production RAG-based recommendation + explanation system that replaced a traditional recommender stack, delivering ~20% CTR lift (and +8% after a reliability iteration) with strong cold-start performance. Demonstrates strong production rigor: schema-constrained generation, typed tool calling, explicit state/orchestration, deep monitoring/feedback loops, and safe integration with messy ERP inventory/order data using normalization, idempotency, and conflict-resolution guardrails.”

Mid-level Robotics Software Engineer specializing in multi-robot control and automation

Atlanta, GA4y exp

“Robotics software engineer with ~7 years of ROS/ROS2 experience spanning dual-arm metal additive manufacturing and prior work on the DARPA Subterranean Challenge. Developed in-house multi-arm collision/trajectory planning and achieved a major calibration improvement (from ~6 cm error to ~0.5 mm) via ICP point-cloud registration, with strong simulation/digital-twin, SLAM, and deployment (Docker/CI/CD) exposure.”

“ML/AI engineer with hands-on experience shipping production computer vision and GenAI systems, including a fabric defect detection platform that combined vision models with agentic LLM workflows to reach 89% human-inspector agreement at 200 ms latency. Also built a RAG-based code QA tool for developers and emphasizes production monitoring, evaluation, caching, and reusable Python service design.”

Junior HR analytics and business student specializing in people data and strategy

Atlanta, GA3y exp

“Early-career candidate and current college senior who serves as a TA for an entrepreneurship class, where they teach structured outbound sales methods. While they lack direct sales-role experience, they demonstrate unusually strong conceptual knowledge of cold calling, stakeholder mapping, qualification, and data-driven messaging optimization, plus hands-on performance marketing experience from running a social media account.”

Mid-level Data Analyst specializing in financial and customer analytics

Marietta, GA4y exp

“Analytics professional with experience at KPMG and Robosoft Technologies, working across financial and customer engagement data. They combine SQL, Python, experimentation, and BI dashboards to turn messy multi-source data into decision-ready insights, including a pricing test that improved conversion rates by 9%.”

“Backend/integration-focused software engineer who built and debugged a complex location modeling system (data pipelines, APIs, optimization logic connected to a dashboard). No direct ROS/robotics experience yet, but demonstrates strong distributed-systems debugging, containerized deployment (Docker), and CI/CD/testing practices and is actively looking to pivot into robotics software.”
