About

Built and shipped a production LLM-powered investor research feature for a fintech product, focused on grounded answers and minimizing hallucinations. Implemented retrieval-quality and evidence-coverage gating with clear refusal fallbacks, and evaluates systems with regression tests and metrics like correct-refusal rate, hallucination rate, and latency. Comfortable orchestrating workflows with LangChain or custom Python depending on production needs.

Key Strengths

  • Built and deployed a production LLM-powered investor research tool used by real users
  • Designed reliability guardrails: retrieval-quality confidence checks, evidence coverage gating, and safe refusals
  • Systematic evaluation approach using real/edge-case queries and regression tests
  • Metrics-driven iteration (accuracy vs correct refusals, hallucination rate, latency)
  • Pragmatic orchestration choices (LangChain for rapid iteration vs custom Python for production control/latency/debuggability)
  • Strong ability to translate product expectations into technical decisions with non-technical stakeholders
