Vetted Teaching Assistants in Remote

“Master’s-level candidate with an academic project portfolio, including ownership of a Python-based video game recommendation system using unsupervised clustering. Has hands-on experience designing the system approach and validating recommendation quality with test cases, plus teaching assistant experience instructing Git/GitHub workflows; limited exposure to Kubernetes, GitOps, and large-scale infrastructure.”

“Operator/program leader from Keyo who builds the “operating backbone” for fast-moving teams—OKRs/KPIs, dashboards, SOPs, and tight decision cadences. Led end-to-end initiatives spanning supply/delivery stabilization, finance reporting/forecasting inputs, vendor alignment, and company-wide SOC 2 Type II compliance with centralized audit evidence.”

“Customer-support/engineering background spanning Informatica PowerCenter ETL and IBM demos/workshops, with hands-on experience hardening data workflows for production (error tables/reject links, validation, restart strategies, alerting, performance tuning). Also demonstrates a clear, systems-level approach to diagnosing LLM/agentic workflow issues (prompt/RAG/tooling/memory) using instrumentation and iterative fixes, and has partnered with sales on POCs by defining success metrics and mapping solutions to customer architectures.”

“Backend-leaning full-stack engineer who builds and operates Spring Boot microservices with React/TypeScript frontends, using Kafka/RabbitMQ for event-driven workflows. Created an internal ops dashboard for Support/SRE with tracing, alert correlation, and self-serve actions, improving MTTR and reducing escalations while maintaining regulatory-grade reliability and security.”

“Backend engineer with fintech/AI startup experience who built an Azure serverless, event-driven pipeline for large-scale crypto sentiment analysis and semantic search (OCR/NLP to vector search) and integrated LLM + blockchain data for predictive insights. Demonstrated measurable impact (25% lower retrieval latency, 10% fewer data errors, 15% higher engagement) and has led safe microservices migrations with strong security and reliability practices.”

“LLM/RAG engineer who has built and shipped production assistants, including a RAG-based teaching assistant (Marvel AI) using LangChain/LlamaIndex/ChromaDB with OpenAI embeddings and Redis vector search, achieving ~30% accuracy gains and ~35% latency reduction. Also deployed FastAPI services on Google Cloud Run with observability and prompt-level monitoring, and partnered with non-technical ops stakeholders to deliver an internal policy-document RAG assistant.”

“Backend lead at a stealth startup and builder of MailIQ/MailBox—an automated Gmail inbox digest + cleanup system. Designed secure multi-account email ingestion and cost-efficient LLM-based summarization, and implemented robust unsubscribe automation using Playwright + OpenAI webpage analysis (including captcha-handling) with strong safety guardrails, incremental rollouts, and rollback strategies.”

“Built and deployed a production RAG-based clinical decision support assistant at MedLib, focused on fast, trustworthy answers from large medical documents. Demonstrates deep practical experience improving retrieval accuracy (semantic chunking + metadata-aware search), controlling hallucinations with grounded generation and thresholds, and adding clinician-requested citations using chunk metadata, with evaluation driven by healthcare professional review.”

“Product-minded engineer who has owned features end-to-end, including a full onboarding redesign that lifted completion ~25% and a production LLM/RAG report-generation system with strong guardrails (schema-constrained JSON, confidence gating, logging) and an automated eval/regression loop built from real user queries. Also built a scalable research data pipeline ingesting messy PDFs/JSON/CSVs with normalization, idempotent reruns, observability, and cost/latency tradeoffs.”
