Vetted Data Engineers in California

“Full-stack engineer with 5+ years of experience who built real-time data visualization and analytics systems at Uber, spanning React/TypeScript frontends, Node/GraphQL services, Kafka pipelines, and PostgreSQL. Particularly compelling for teams needing a hands-on builder who can turn ambiguous customer needs into scalable products, and who has also applied RAG with LangChain/OpenAI over 1.8M support files to surface actionable insights.”

“ML/LLM practitioner with production experience building a healthcare review sentiment pipeline (RateMDs) using Hugging Face Transformers plus a LangChain+FAISS RAG layer for interactive querying. Also led orchestration-driven optimization of Nike’s Fusion ETL pipeline, improving runtime efficiency by 20%, and has experience translating ML outputs into Tableau dashboards for non-technical healthcare stakeholders (e.g., readmission risk).”

“Data engineer with Intuit experience owning end-to-end, high-volume financial data pipelines (API/S3 ingestion, Airflow orchestration, Spark/PySpark + SQL transforms, Snowflake marts). Strong focus on reliability and data quality—achieved 99.8% SLA and cut discrepancies by 35% using Great Expectations, reconciliation, schema versioning, and automated backfills; also built near real-time Kafka/API data services with CI/CD and observability.”

“Built a production assistive-vision iPhone app to help visually impaired users find grocery items, training a custom YOLO detector on 2,000+ self-collected/annotated images and deploying via CoreML with a cloud multimodal LLM for navigation instructions. Brings hands-on AWS serverless + ECS container deployment (CDK/GitHub Actions) and a disciplined approach to AI workflow reliability (state-machine design, offline evals, stress tests, logging/metrics), plus experience communicating model insights to non-technical stakeholders (MOTER Technologies).”

“Built and shipped LLM/OCR/NLP-driven document-intelligence workflows in operational environments (EnvoyX and UPS), emphasizing production readiness via explicit state-machine orchestration, confidence gates, and human-in-the-loop review. Demonstrated strong business impact in customs brokerage/document ingestion: 50% fewer customs rejects, 30% higher throughput, SLA adherence improved from 71% to 96%, and platform reliability reaching 99.6% with 78% fewer bad-data incidents.”

“Data/automation-focused engineer with hands-on experience building production workflows across marketing, sales, and RevOps at ZoomInfo. They’ve owned end-to-end automations spanning Snowflake/Databricks pipelines, ad platform API integrations, LLM-powered sales prep and deal summarization, and ML-based account prioritization.”

Junior Software Engineer specializing in data engineering and LLM applications

Irvine, CA1y exp

“Computer science engineer and master’s graduate who independently built a mechatronics-heavy capstone prototype: a smartphone concept for deafblind users using micro-actuator arrays for braille reading. Also has platform engineering experience at Quantiphi, deploying webhooks to Kubernetes and implementing GitOps-based CI/CD using AWS CodeCommit/CodeBuild and ECR.”

“Data-engineering-oriented candidate with hands-on experience building an agentic AI product and operational automation workflows. They described automating inventory-to-ERP discrepancy reconciliation with anomaly detection and daily reporting, and also have practical scraping/automation experience dealing with Cloudflare-protected sites using Selenium and Puppeteer.”

“Data engineer with a Master's in Data Science who has owned 30+ customer-facing K-12 SIS migrations end-to-end, building ETL, validation, and SOP-driven deployment processes in a PII-sensitive environment. Also brings recent hands-on agentic AI experience from a biotech capstone, where they led a production-oriented NLP-to-SQL + RAG support system that handled about 30% of support queries in testing.”

“AI product leader working at TAU Ventures Innovation Lab and previously at Verint and NYSHEX, with a track record of turning legacy and ambiguous AI opportunities into shippable, human-centered products. Notably led Verint’s evolution into a low-code AI orchestration platform with 20+ capabilities and measurable gains in CSAT, handle time, and recurring revenue, while consistently emphasizing trust, workflow fit, and human-in-the-loop design.”
