Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Flamino is a Senior Machine Learning Engineer and physicist with eight years of experience building production-grade AI systems and agent-based simulations, now focused on deploying LLM-driven solutions for complex human interaction. His work spans big-data engineering, novel scalable clustering and ABM frameworks, clinical ML pipelines for Sutter Health, and influential academic research published in venues like Nature Human Behavior and IEEE Communications. At RPI he led teams that measured LLMs’ conversational influence and pioneered methods to detect early dementia from communication patterns, blending cognitive modeling with LSTMs. As an independent researcher he delivered agentic, state-aware AI workflows and custom fine-tuned models for healthcare clients using LangChain, LangGraph, and GCP. Comfortable across Python, PyTorch, Dask, and production tooling, he combines rigorous experimental research with pragmatic system design—an engineer who translates academic insight into deployed, impactful products.
