San Francisco, CA15y exp

“Technical leader/player-coach who architected and shipped an end-to-end computer vision pricing system for a major North American auto seller, using Go + Ray + AWS SageMaker in a low-latency distributed inference architecture. Strong in production governance (logs/tracing/guardrails/AppSec), reliability incident ownership (DNS limits affecting 20% traffic), and measurable delivery acceleration (deployment cycle 16→4 days; delivery speed 5→2 days) through process optimization and AI-assisted enablement.”

“Worked on a CVS Health project transforming large healthcare claims data from databases and APIs into clean reporting tables and Power BI dashboards. Brings hands-on experience in SQL, Python automation, data validation, and stakeholder-driven metric definition for analytics workflows.”

“GenAI/LLM engineer with production experience at Allstate building an end-to-end document intelligence workflow for insurance operations—automating document intake, classification, and risk signal extraction. Emphasizes high-reliability design for regulated/high-stakes outputs using schema enforcement, confidence thresholds, validation rules, and human-in-the-loop routing, with metric-driven offline evaluation and production monitoring.”

“Data scientist at Guardian Airwaves building a RAG-powered quiz generator using Grok AI, with hands-on experience solving hard document-ingestion problems (PDFs with images/tables) via unstructured.io and LlamaIndex. Has deployed production systems on AWS EC2 and brings a pragmatic approach to agent reliability (human-in-the-loop, LLM-based eval, latency/cost metrics) while effectively translating RAG concepts to non-technical stakeholders.”

“Quality/process professional with hands-on supplier quality experience across consumer hardware (electric skateboards) and construction/field services. Uses rigorous statistical and root-cause methods (Ishikawa, 5 Whys) to drive CAPA closure with overseas suppliers, adding inspection gates and IQC, and validating fixes through multi-month sampling follow-up.”

“Full-stack engineer with payments/settlement domain experience who modernized a payment tracking workflow from REST to GraphQL and delivered a production payment status dashboard using Next.js App Router + TypeScript. Strong in performance and reliability work (Postgres indexing/Explain Analyze, Redis caching, Datadog observability) and in durable event-driven processing with Kafka (DLQs, idempotency, reconciliation, event replay).”

“Investment-focused candidate with CFA Research Challenge experience who proactively sources and engages operators/founders, using structured Excel-based pipeline management and insight-driven follow-ups. Emphasizes primary research and synthesis into an investment thesis, with a repeatable discovery framework and clear next-step planning.”

“Backend-focused engineer with experience at Ramp, Easebuzz, and George Mason University, spanning data pipelines, workflow automation, and production reliability. Stands out for quantifiable performance gains, strong debugging instincts in distributed job systems, and translating ambiguous finance operations processes into measurable automation outcomes.”

“Built and deployed “ApartmentFinder AI,” a multi-agent system using Google ADK, Gemini, and Google Maps MCP to automate apartment shortlisting and commute-time analysis, cutting a 45–70 minute user workflow down to ~30 seconds. Also has strong delivery/process chops from serving as an SDLC Release Coordinator, managing 52+ releases and reducing SDLC issues by 84%.”
