Vetted Teaching Assistants in California

“Robotics software engineer with autonomous driving lab experience at UCSD, building and optimizing ROS2 perception and control pipelines (camera-based real-time object detection) with a strong focus on low-latency performance and robust message interfaces. Also brings production deployment experience from Hewlett Packard Enterprise, using Docker and Kubernetes for containerized environments and deployment pipelines.”

Darshi Jain

Screened

Mid-level Customer Success Manager specializing in ads, product strategy, and analytics

San Francisco, CA4y exp

“Revenue-focused seller with experience at Amazon and Vedanta, combining data-driven prospecting, account expansion, and GTM process building. Stands out for turning performance insights into repeatable growth motions—driving $3.1M annual revenue uplift and 40% format adoption at Amazon, while also building new-market playbooks from scratch in high-ambiguity industrial segments.”

Jayanti Lahoti

Screened

Junior Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in AI and cloud-native systems

San Diego, USA2y exp

“Backend/systems-oriented engineer focused on building production-constrained LLM agent workflows that automate repetitive operator tasks via intent/entity extraction, retrieval grounding, and structured action recommendations with human-in-the-loop review. Emphasizes reliability through deterministic orchestration, strict tool/function schemas, observability, and disciplined evaluation/feedback loops, with strong experience handling messy multi-service operational data and idempotent execution.”

Krishna Kodur

Screened

Mid-level Robotics & AI Researcher specializing in human-robot interaction and reinforcement learning

Santa Clara, CA8y exp

“Robotics software engineer who built an end-to-end mobile manipulation platform (Franka Panda on a Clearpath Ridgeback) for a simulated-kitchen human-robot interaction study with natural speech commands, implemented in Python/ROS. Has hands-on experience integrating diverse sensors (RealSense, LiDAR, biosignals) with deep learning frameworks (PyTorch, Hugging Face) and fine-tuning GPT-Neo, plus simulation (Gazebo) and modern deployment practices (Docker/Kubernetes, CI/CD).”

Cristian Vega

Screened

Senior AI/ML Engineer specializing in Generative AI and RAG

California, null9y exp

“ML/NLP practitioner at Morf Health focused on unifying fragmented healthcare data by linking structured patient/encounter records with unstructured clinical notes. Has hands-on experience with transformer embeddings, vector databases, and domain fine-tuning, plus rigorous evaluation (precision/recall) and human-in-the-loop validation with clinical SMEs to make pipelines production-grade.”

“Software engineer who owned end-to-end delivery of customer-facing agricultural forecast reporting (crop yield/health) and iterated quickly via rigorous edge-case testing and customer feedback. Also built an internal ML training platform (TypeScript/React + Flask/Python + MongoDB) used by every developer, with architecture designed to stay responsive under heavy compute load.”

“Engineering Manager/player-coach leading Data Infrastructure, ML/DS, and AI Engineering pods who recently shipped multiple production agentic GenAI features. Built privacy-preserving LLM workflows (PII redaction via Microsoft Presidio) and drove an AI expense-approval agent from ambiguous ask to GA, cutting approval time from ~2.5 days to <4 hours with >85% accuracy. Also owned a major LLM cost overrun incident and implemented cost observability plus circuit breakers to prevent runaway agent loops.”

“Robotics software engineer with semiconductor wafer-handling automation experience at Mattson Technology, building C++ control software for ATM and vacuum robots coordinating through a load-lock (pressure/door/pump sequencing). Implemented multi-vendor communications with auto-detection across SECS serial and TCP/IP, and validated behavior using simulation + GUI animation, logging/sniffers, and hardware-in-the-loop testing; currently self-studying ROS 2.”

“Backend engineer who built an async FastAPI data pipeline at GHN Career Academy to replace a manual Excel-based workflow, migrating 30k+ contact records into Airtable with validation/deduplication and best-effort GPT-based enrichment. Emphasizes reliability under messy real-world data and partial failures via structured logging, retries, and resumable processing, unlocking downstream automations (e.g., Zapier and chatbots).”
