Open to AI/ML & software engineering roles

John Holik
AI/ML Engineer

I build LLM systems and applied ML, from research pipelines that hold up to peer review to products people actually use. Recent Computer Software Engineering grad, based in Chicago.

About

I'm a software engineer who leans hard into AI/ML. My work spans the full arc: collecting and cleaning messy real-world data, building and evaluating LLM and ML systems, and shipping them as real products.

My flagship is ElectriAI, an independent research project I built end to end and am publishing, advised at FGCU and funded by the Head Start Grant. Alongside it I've shipped full-stack LLM apps and a tested scientific-computing package, with a research engineer's habits: reproducible, evaluated, and honest about what the numbers say.

Comfortable across the stack, from PostgreSQL and REST APIs to systems-level C++ and assembly, with strong fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, and operating systems.
