Senior🎓
Top SchoolJeff Lichtman is a founder and AI engineer with nine years of hands-on experience building production-grade systems that bridge ML, backend services, and real-world users. He independently architected a cost-optimized RAG pipeline for legal/regulatory search—designing section-aware PDF ingestion, legal embeddings, hybrid retrieval with cross-encoder reranking, and agentic query cost strategies—then deployed it on AWS with observability and real-time transcription. Previously he owned core pricing and promotions microservices at Zipcar, scaling dynamic pricing, loyalty, and high-volume transactional systems across 25+ cities. A former entrepreneur who built a solar installation business and published mobile apps, he brings product intuition, operational rigor, and a knack for turning complex domains into pragmatic, auditable systems. Based in Denver, he combines academic CS training with an MBA mindset and a taste for tinkering that surfaces in efficient, cost-conscious AI deployments.
