I will audit and optimize your rag pipeline for better retrieval


About this gig
Your RAG pipeline retrieves wrong chunks and your LLM hallucinates. The problem is not the model. It is the retrieval.
I optimize RAG systems with 9+ years in search relevance engineering. Most RAG failures are retrieval failures, and I fix them at the source.
What I fix:
- Poor chunking strategies that split context
- Wrong embedding model selection
- Missing reranking stage
- No hybrid search (keyword + vector combined)
- No retrieval evaluation metrics
What you get:
- Retrieval quality assessment with before/after metrics
- Chunking strategy optimization for your data
- Embedding model evaluation and recommendation
- Reranking pipeline setup (cross-encoder or ColBERT)
- Hybrid search implementation (BM25 + vector + RRF)
- Evaluation framework (precision, recall, NDCG, MRR)
I work with any stack: LangChain, LlamaIndex, custom pipelines. Vector stores: Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant, Meilisearch, pgvector.
This is not a chatbot builder gig. I fix retrieval quality so your LLM stops hallucinating.
Message me with your current stack, data type, and the problems you are seeing before ordering.

FAQ
What RAG stack do you work with?
Any. LangChain, LlamaIndex, custom pipelines. Vector stores: Elasticsearch, Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant, pgvector. I adapt to your stack.
Will you build a RAG system from scratch?
This gig is for auditing and optimizing existing pipelines. For new builds, message me to discuss scope separately.
What metrics do you use?
Retrieval precision, recall, NDCG, MRR, and hit rate. I measure before and after so improvement is quantified.
Do you also tune the LLM prompts?
My focus is retrieval quality. Better retrieval reduces hallucinations without prompt tricks. But I can advise on prompt structure.
