Nagraj Deshmukh
I build data and AI systems that go to production — NLP pipelines, LLM evaluation frameworks, real-time ML models. Five years across fintech, healthtech, and research. Currently at Alliant Credit Union leading enterprise AI.
- Led NLP-driven NPS and call analytics pipelines — insights drove 12% YoY reduction in member care calls
- Proactively led GPT-3.5 → GPT-4o migration across teams, preventing downstream production failures
- Designed LLM evaluation framework using DeepEval to monitor performance and regressions across enterprise AI
- Winner, Alliant Innovation Challenge for Underwriting AI Assistant concept
- Built ETL copilot using transformer models to extract unstructured data from financial reports — improved data accessibility by 70%
- Engineered an autonomous LLM marketing agent that boosted post frequency 40% and engagement 25%
- Built prompt-chaining and RAG pipeline using open-source LLMs, achieving semantic alignment score of 0.8
- Presented at INFORMS Analytics Conference 2024; co-authored paper at International Conference on Data Science
- Optimized pose detection models — 200% speed improvement, 65% accuracy gain
- Led exercise categorization project that scaled the product from 5 to 400+ exercises
- Directed 4-person DS team on RTM tool that secured $7M in funding
- Delivered Credit Risk Monitoring application used by 1,100+ clients
- Resolved 6 categories of OWASP security vulnerabilities
- Led C++ → Java module migration in 2 months; built documentation pipeline cutting team response time 30%
- Developed metaheuristic optimization algorithms for high-dimensional problems
- Published 2 papers (20 citations) in Evolutionary Intelligence (Springer) and Knowledge Based Systems (Elsevier)
NLP-driven pipeline analyzing member feedback and call transcripts at Alliant Credit Union. Drove 12% YoY reduction in member care call volume.
Enterprise AI monitoring system using DeepEval to track performance regressions across GPT-4o deployments. Enables automated quality gates for AI outputs.
Transformer-based system to extract structured data from unstructured financial reports. Replaced manual extraction workflows at Nedl Labs.
Optimized MediaPipe + LightGBM pipeline for real-time exercise categorization. Helped scale Spry Therapeutics from 5 to 400+ exercises, supporting a $7M funding round.
Open to senior IC roles in AI/ML engineering, data science, or applied research. Fintech and healthtech domains preferred. Based in Chicago; remote-friendly.
