What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a role where I can really dig into building AI systems that make a difference—especially in healthcare. Working in a startup sounds like a blast because I love moving fast and having a direct impact. Also, collaborating closely with leadership on fresh projects, like scaling a new medical platform, fits my experience perfectly.

I'm Brent Oakes, a Senior AI Full Stack Engineer with over 7 years of experience in building AI systems and SaaS platforms. Most of my work has been around creating LLM-powered applications and retrieval-augmented generation systems—which basically means making AI smarter at pulling the right info from huge datasets. At ELASTECH, I engineered a clinical decision support platform using over a million clinical documents, which helped reduce AI hallucinations by 22%.

I'm all in on cloud-native infrastructure and have extensive experience using AWS, GCP, and Azure for deploying scalable AI systems. I've crafted frontends with React and Next.js and developed backend services using Python and Node.js, like when I integrated multi-model support at ELASTECH to help clinicians get more reliable insights. Outside of work, I’m genuinely interested in anything tech that can improve real-world applications, especially in healthcare, which seems to be your focus at Scribient.
