@yixuangu
Staff ML engineer specializing in large-scale recommender systems, RAG moderation, and AI agents.
What I'm looking for
I am a Staff Machine Learning Engineer with deep experience building large-scale data pipelines, multi-stage recommendation systems, policy-aware RAG moderation platforms, and production AI-agent architectures. At Glassdoor I architected Aquila, a LangGraph-based AI support agent, built the Atlas multi-stage job recommender, and led cross-brand moderation (Sentinel) that combined policy retrieval with LLM classification and automated escalation.
Previously at Cotiviti I designed Spark ETL for multi-terabyte healthcare claims, implemented analytics and validation systems, and delivered full-stack tools with REST/GraphQL backends and React dashboards. I focus on reliable, observable production systems, hybrid retrieval and ranking (BM25 + ANN), and safe, auditable LLM integrations that reduce manual effort and improve user outcomes.
