Billy Rowan
@billyrowan
Senior AI/ML engineer building scalable LLM and production ML systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven AI Engineer with over 7 years of experience across full-stack development, backend engineering, and AI integration. I specialize in Python, Rust, and TypeScript, and I focus on developing scalable machine learning systems—especially deploying LLMs into reliable, production-ready AI-powered solutions. I’m known for optimizing workflows, building robust APIs, and collaborating cross-functionally to deliver clean, maintainable systems that drive business growth.
Most recently, as a Lead AI Engineer, I co-founded Culture Mind and led the development of a safety-focused AI chatbot for children under 18, including customizing and fine-tuning a Deep Seek–based model, building the backend with Python and PyTorch, and deploying a demo on the Google Play Store. I built and deployed the API services that power real-time interactions and used AWS SageMaker for scalable training, deployment, and continuous monitoring. Previously at Genpact, I delivered agentic AI workflows, LLM inference orchestration, vector-based memory systems, and scalable microservices (including migrating legacy services from Python to Rust) while supporting AI quality assurance and building GraphQL APIs for real-time synchronization.
